the game has a older crowed to it 20-35. the reason i would say is because of the mins they just are stuning models and the kid cant painted in that detail. i dont mean to insalt young painters(as i am one, only 15.) it just that most "kids" paint it the way they see it on the box and they cant do it so they dont bother to buy it + its a thinking game and not so much on luck unlike 40k so it hard for them to learn.
