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!
I wonder if Fantasy/SF/Horror have a cyclical rotation and that kids are just into Fantasy at the moment? Of all the AoS armies, Skaven are the best and there are some crazy miniatures. I was TERRIBLE beyond belief when I started painting but I found that if I took things slowly and watched some tutorials my skills really did improve. (Another thing to watch out for is Yugioh! - my son is OBSESSED with the card game and it’s bankrupting us!!! 😆 )
