Island of Blood Fantasy Starter Box Set

Is this the best option for Warhammer Fantasy Starters?

Our Rating:   

Product Summary

It's out! the new box set for the v8 Warhammer Fantasy table top wargame is out. Traditionally the Games Workshop starter sets have been very good value and re-release press releases indicated this release will be no exception.

What you Get

In the Box you get everything that you need to start playing Warhammer Fantasy battles. This includes two full starter armies, both a High Elf army and a Skaven army. You also get a light weight rule book and starter guide, two measuring guides, and dice.

Pros

These are not cheap models either. They are plastic, but the modern high resolution production methods that Games Workshop use means that they are as detailed as their metal model counterparts. Their easy build nature are a bonus too.

The light weight rule book is very desirable too, specially with those that travel to shops, clubs, or gaming conventions.

Cons

This is aimed at getting new player playing Games Workshops Warhammer Fantasy. I highly recommend having some modeling glue available, and you will need the army books to play the armies in the shops and clubs. Other that there is nothing but good points.

Conclusion

Yes this has lived up to expectation. The box set is very good value for money, and many seasoned players where buying this box set to either start a Skaven and/or High Elf army, or for some, just to get the light weight rule book!
