What is an Age of Sigmar Starter Set?

An Age of Sigmar starter set is an introductory box that contains everything you need to start playing Warhammer right away.

Common contents:

• Miniatures from two armies

• Rulebook or quick start guide

• Dice

• Measuring tapes

• Game mat or terrain (sometimes)

• Scenario for the first match

Starter sets are designed for two players to start playing immediately, even if neither of you has played Warhammer before.

This is why starter sets are often the most cost-effective way to start collecting an army.

How does Warhammer Age of Sigmar work?

1. Building the miniatures

First, you build your figures from plastic parts.

You usually need:

• Plastic glue

• Hobby knife

• Clippers

Many hobbyists find building to be half the fun.

2. Painting your army

Once the miniatures are built, you can paint them.

Common paints used:

• base paints

• washes

• highlights

Many players, for example, use Two Thin Coats paints to achieve even coverage and great results.

Painting your army is a big part of the Warhammer hobby and makes each army unique.

3. Playing the game

Age of Sigmar is played on a table where your miniatures represent an army.

The game proceeds in rounds:

1. Movement

2. Magic

3. Shooting

4. Melee

You roll dice to determine hits, wounds, and saves.

Strategy, positioning, and army selection play a big role.
