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!

    Kill Team seems like a much more manageable game (I have very limited experience in Warhammer)

    Smaller armies and faster games. So you don’t have to commit to 4 days of army building before you get a taste of the gameplay.

      I don’t mind him spending time preparing his minis if it means he has to wait before adding more to his collection. We’ll look into Kill Team though, thank you for the tip!

        It’s not so much that he won’t or shouldn’t, more so he can get to playing faster.
