Which edition looks like the sweet spot for you? Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Extremis Starter Set Review – Summary The only optional build on this sprue is model J (parts 1-9) which can be built as either a Gutrippa or Gutrippa Boss Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Harbinger Starter Set – Sprue B – Vindictors Another issue with the Hobgrots (Hobgrotz?) is that, whilst there is a great deal of variation in pose from figure to figure – and even a hell of a lot of alternate build options across the sprues, as you’ll see below, to look at, they aren’t all that different. All of a sudden, that Dominion box is looking much more valuable!!! There are places still selling it. So if you can, bag a copy now!

There were twenty of them in Dominion, which was far too many. Having ten of them in the Extremis Starter Set still feels like a lot – but maybe that’s an opinion coloured with a degree of hindsight. At the end of the day, I’m not a gamer: I paint, and I get bored painting 5 of the same units. We already did a brief comparison of the costs in our Dominion review, but here it is again for reference Dominion Contents This new Paint Set contains 2 Models and 6 Paints – which should be enough to get you started. Warhammer Age of Sigmar Vindictors Paint Set Contents Objectives are mostly still same distance when its 2-4, but 5+ Objective and they get tight, easy to move from 1 to another a lot of the times. One thing to be aware of with these figures is the join line down the cape on each side. Once again, some sprue goo (that’s glue with some old sprue mixed in to make a melted plastic paste) will be your friend here and you’ll be able to make the gap disappear, as I have in the picture below.The Shaman went first, trying to strike the Lord-Imperatant with an Arcane Missile. Unfortunately, he did not meet the casting value and the spell fizzled out in his hand. The Movement Phase saw the Hobgrots and Gutrippaz shuffle forwards, ready for the next two phases.

Praetors: Praetor retinues are amongst the finest bodyguards in all the realms, linked to their ward at an arcane level. These models come supplied with 3x Citadel 40mm Round Bases.

With the divider set to one side, all that was left was to look at what lay in wait beneath it. Namely, the dice, range rulers, bases, and books.

With three Mortal Wounds inflicted and a further three Wounds striking him, the Swampcalla Shaman was killed. The Warrior Starter Set is ideal for people playing Warhammer Age of Sigmar for the first time. It’s been designed for people who want to learn – or teach – the basics of the game without worrying about advanced rules. While the matchup is still pretty bad, having actual terrain does make this a bit more appetizing if this is your thing. Add it with the Warrior set and you’re getting pretty close to a real game, as you can run games as low as 750 points using the core book’s match play rules.

You’re a big Warhammer Age of Sigmar fan and really can’t wait to start crushing your mates on the battlefield with the new rules Goonhammer was given a free copy of the Extremis Edition Starter Set by Games Workshop for review purposes. If you’re splitting one of the new boxes with your friends or family, you might want one of the more targeted paint sets. The Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Stormcast Eternals Paint Set includes a paintbrush, two Vindictors on which to test your colour scheme, and half a dozen paints to get them ready for battle. There aren’t any objective markers – or even things you could use as objective markers – provided in the Warrior starter set. Also, given my aversion to painting scenery, and the fact my copy of Cursed City remains untouched, I discovered I don’t actually have anything I could use as an objective marker, either!
