Greetings one and all,
It’s fast becoming that time of the year again, yep the time when gamesworkshop does massive boxes of models with great savings…what? Sorry did you think I was going to say Christmas? So in what I think might be a site first, I’m going to cover the Age of Sigmar releases.
It seems I wasn't too far off the mark as these boxsets sell for £130 which is a bargain price if you ask me, and now let's get into the savings.

As you can see these boxsets have avoided putting too many named characters in, and those that they have can be built as a generic hero or lord. Overall I think these boxsets seem to be a good start for new players while some armies like the Skaven get a huge amount of models to reinforce existing armies.
