My son is starting to get into Warhammer and so far he’s learned the mechanics of Age of Sigmar, but he still isn’t sure what road to go down. Normally he’d go for whatever my brother in law is into (he introduced him to MTG, obviously the gateway drug) but he’s not deep into Warhammer yet (BiL was gifted a Necromunda squad) so my son will have to figure it out for himself.
Assuming most people here picked 40k over Age of Sigmar, I’m curious to know what motivated your choice? He’s painted a few random figurines he was gifted, but is now giving serious thought into going further. We’d welcome any tips on where to start!
I’m an oldie who got into 40k way back in the early 90s with the Rogue Trader stuff.
In my honest opinion, I love the minis (they look glorious), but I would not recommend the current game to anyone. It’s far too expensive and just not that fun.
There are better games out there that you can play using 40k minis. One Page Rules : Grimdark Future is one such example.
