does anyone know the best way to start warhammer (not 40K) without spending £50+ on a starter box.

Im interseted in starting to play so i need to know where to get rulebooks/paint help etc i would like to start up a dark elf collection if possible

thanks for any help (links would be nice i looked but all i found was 40k stuff)

It's not a dark elf collection, it's a wood elf collection. but look at this.

EDIT: sorry, I mean go here.

pardon my ignorance but what am i looking for/at it has both wood and dark elves and i have no idea where to start with it all

Sorry, I'm not sure either. I've never played Warhammer, but would like to start. I was just looking on Ebay, and found that army, which looks like it won some big competition.

It's also sporting a hefty price tag £750!

well looks like ill have to go to my local shop see if i can get some free advice :rolleyes:

Sorry, it's not your ignorance, but my crapiness with links, this is what I meant.

i see £750 thats alot to shell out on figures even tourney winning stuff :o

warhammer and 40k is a rippoff and a expensive game too play ( i mean £25 for a rule book!!!) £15 for 15 plastic men which probilly cost under 10p each .....

There is no cheap way in the game....i hear it costs £200 minimum for a playable 1000 point army

ok so i went to my local warhammer store to enquire about getting started and was told the cheapest way wasthe £50 starter box for 1 player :blink:

after some time talking to them they told me that if i want a cheaper alternative then i should look out for rezolution, i have already played this a couple of times at demo's in my local card game shop it seems promising as long as people come up with new gameplay ideas at the moment the idea has very limited playability (repetative playing gets tedious) but as soon as thats sorted i may give it a go

thanks,
will

Me and my girlfriend went to the local Games Workshop, and after a very persuasive sales pitch left with the £50 starter box for 2 players. Once we glue them to together I think we are going to have a lot of fun.

meh i've given up with warhammer its too damb expensive as i said above i'll go with rezolution if they ever get their act together and get it in the stores its onlylike 2/3 months later :banghead: :bomb:
