About this deal

This is where the real meat of the Warrior Starter Set lies. The Warrior Edition book is your all-inclusive introduction to the world of Age of Sigmar using the figures in the box. My respect to the designer of this sprue. most of the time you will find that sculptors will create 1 body for a model and make it look marginally different from another head or weapon. here they have given us multiple bodies. with the chest armour being the same. We also then get optional head’s too. This is the epitome of the Harbinger Starter Set. This is the book meant to grab you and drag you deeper into the hobby and the universe of Warhammer Fantasy. In its content, it’s very similar to both the Warrior and Extremis books, with a couple of edits made here and there to make it more relevant to whichever set it comes with. Building these guys was easy. The sprue gates are put on sensible areas throughout. Whilst there is come clean up to be made on the odd curved surface, all the gaps covered by sensible armour joins.

The Maggotkin of Nurgle’s new character is a super-detailed plastic reimagining of the classic resin Harbinger of Decay model. As I’ve mentioned already, there’s a great deal of similarity between the Harbinger Set and the Extremis Set, give or take the inclusion of certain pieces of scenery. You’ll still find the same books, cards, and other paper-based bits and pieces you’ll need to take your figures from your painting table and onto the battlefield, and whilst the included figures are different and more plentiful than those in the Warrior Set, they are identical to those in the Extremis box. If you are an existing player, a painter or just someone interested in Stormcast or Kruleboys. If you missed Dominion, this is the box for you if you want the play mat and scenery. otherwise, just get Harbingder Edition and save some gold coins for more models. Now, for the plastic-minded amongst you, here’s a more detailed breakdown of the figures awaiting within the Harbinger Starter Set:As per the Harbinger Edition book, the Kruleboyz went first and charged. To charge, each unit (in this case, each Gutrippa on the field) rolls 2D6 to see if they can close the gap between them and their target – the sum-total of what is rolled on the dice is how many inches that can be charged. With some decent rolls, the Gutrippaz borth closed on the Vindictor-Prime.

Perhaps it’s their build guide. Their guide is a pain to follow, cleaning mould lines from them is incredibly tiresome, and many of the sprue gates sit on shoulders or chins which need shaving down and cutting off. My hands already hurt before I started these (as the last thing I built) and by the end I was not happy. Should have done these crappy ones first.Easily the model I’m most excited about, the Marrowscroll Herald is a fabulous hero piece, and the first bit of Flesheater goodness we’ve gotten in quite some time. Like the other models in the series, he’s phenomenal to look at, and his massive fanged weapon looks like it’s going to do terrible damage to his enemies. I’m hoping that what he’s heralding is the return of the Flesheater Courts, and a battletome that will finally make them viable in 3.0. Since we have a guarantee that a new Death tome is coming in the Fall, and they’re the only ones left, I think it’s a pretty good bet. In the meantime, however, this glorious piece will be a fun project for any true sons of Bretonnia, or anyone feeling a bit ghoulish, while they wait for their triumphant return. Grimhold Exile For those of you who abhor the written word. We have now included a very basic video for you to watch which will walk through the content of the box and give my (FauxHammer’s) opinion of the contents. The named character version of the Harbinger is called Phulgoth the Miser, heading up the new Regiment of Renown Phulgoth’s Shudderhood. The Warhammer Community team is – unsurprisingly – made up of people who are quite into Warhammer. It’s not unusual after a long day of work concerning little plastic warriors, for us to toddle home and set up at our painting stations to continue spending time on Warhammer. With the Vindictor Prime now within 3″ of the Shaman, the damage value on his Arcane Missile changed from 1 Mortal Wound to D3 Mortal Wounds (take a D6, 1-2 = 1 Wound; 3-4 = 2 Wounds; 5-6 = 3 Wounds). With a successful cast roll and a subsequent roll of 3 on a D6, the Vindictor-Prime was killed by the grinning Shaman.

It’s also the ideal set for the painter or modeler not interested in scenery: maximum figures, minimum fluff.
