{"product":{"product_id":"B00CHSUVG6","title":"The Army Painter Plastic Assembly Set - 3-Piece Basic Tool Kit - Wargamers Model Kit for Miniatures with Hobby Knife, Plastic Sprue Cutter, and Plastic Model Glue, 24ml","price":null,"image_url":"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pqcoyVK8L._SL500_.jpg","url":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CHSUVG6"},"comments":[{"body":"I can't comment on the lore or rules (I really only know 40k), but GW sells several different starter kits and has a [condensed version of the core AoS rules for free](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warhammer-Age-of-Sigmar-Rules) (known as the \"Core Rules\", as opposed to the full-length \"[Core Book](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warhammer-Age-Of-Sigmar-Book-2018-eng)\").\r\n\r\nThe [Storm Strike box](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Age-Of-Sigmar-Storm-Strike-2018-eng) comes with 2 teams of models, some dice, a ruler, a game mat, and a printed version of the condensed rules\r\n\r\nThey also sell a box called [Tempest of Souls](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Age-Of-Sigmar-Tempest-Of-Souls-2018-eng), which seems to be an upgraded version of the Storm Strike box. They have a [bundle that includes a paint and tool set for 40$ more](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Aos-Tempest-Of-Souls-Paint-2018-eng). It's a pretty good price if you don't have tools and paint already and don't live near a game shop where you can get them easily.\r\n\r\nIf you want to start smaller, they have the [Stormcast Eternal](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Scast-Paint-Set-Canada-poland-scanda-2018) and [Nighthaunt starter sets](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Nhaunt-Paint-Set-Canada-poland-scanda-2018) which come with models for a single faction, paint for that faction, and a brush (but no clippers).\r\n\r\nIf you want to go all-out, the [Soul Wars box set](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Age-Of-Sigmar-Soul-Wars-2018-eng) comes with 2 full armies, the full rule book, and various sundry other stuff. No paint or tools, though.\r\n\r\nAll of GW's stuff can be bought online, so not living near a store isn't an issue.\r\n\r\nHowever you get models and rule, you'll need a set of clippers to remove models from their sprue, plastic glue to stick them together (unless you're using Push-fit models, which all but the Soul Wars box use), something to serve as a moldline remover (an exacto-knife will work fine), and paint (**including something to prime your models with**) and brushes. You don't need to buy GW's tools and paints if you don't want to.\r\n\r\nPersonally, I use [Army Painter tools](https://www.amazon.com/Hobby-Starter-Set-Plastic-Assembly/dp/B00CHSUVG6/ref=sr_1_96?keywords=army+painter\u0026amp;qid=1551732256\u0026amp;s=gateway\u0026amp;sr=8-96), Krylon to basecoat my models, and GW paints. However, plenty of people use other makers for their paint.","subreddit_name":"ImaginaryWarhammer","author":"LevTheRed"}]}
