Games Workshop Pre-Orders: ‘Age of Sigmar Starter Set’ Weekend
Games Workshop has new Starter Sets up for pre-order this weekend for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
If you’re looking to jump into Warhammer: Age of Sigmar but skipped the launch box there’s a trio of options for you this weekend. Plus, GW has some new introductory paint sets and products, too. There’s also some new Warcry boxes out alongside these pre-order products. Personally, I think Briar and Bone looks interesting and those sculpts are cool. I’m hoping GW runs with that story line and it leads to some new types of units for both Ossiarch Bonereapers and the Sylvaneth.

WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR: ULTIMATE STARTER SET $210
The Age of Sigmar is an era of unending war. For centuries, the mighty Stormcast Eternals have battled against the forces of evil.

So potent is their arcane weaponry, that the God-king, Sigmar, has sent his most powerful champions to hold back the tide.

They embody Nagash’s monumental cruelty and spite, wrought from those who sought to safeguard mortal souls from the Great Necromancer’s grip through sacred rituals of cremation.

As more and more warriors plunge into the Gnarlwood in search of riches unimaginable, their bodies and souls are worn down by the hungering forest of predatory gnarloaks, which grow more awakened with each fresh kill.
