I'm really interested and not put off, but a starter set of two teams that are closely matched and any cards and such that go with them to get going would be a lot simpler. Terrain not a big issue as a tissue box and a bottle of ketchup work just as well to start with. All the options available like rule book, faction book, faction cards...ect I couldnt find any guide that says this is what you need to start playing and this is what you need to play properly and this is what you can get if you want it all. Thankfully the community was helpful and i got enough info to build my wishlist to get started. So for me maybe a good starters guide would work as well as a starter set if it was written well enough and was uptodate.

Thank you all. The core boxes will be just for learning for me and my 10yr old daughter who i have no doubt will be teaching me very soon how to play We will expand them over time once we get to that point. We will have a very basic board, very basic crews and very basic knowledge and abilities so this is going to work great for both of us. Charging in for Melee, staying back for ranged or just running around doing things and avoiding fights we have no idea how or what so core boxes finger crossed will give us an idea and if we decide to change around its not a massive expense to do this. Still a massive thanks for all the info its a lot less daunting when you have info and help.

Hmmm ok a lot to take in. My daughter wants a female master and liked Mei Feng but could go for YOUKO HAMASAKI instead if this is easier to play against Molly. I could not pick Molly if that is the issue but i really like that model and love death stuff. Thank you all for the quick replies

Last question for now 🙂 I have no mini's at the moment and am looking for two crews so my daughter and I can learn the game. I want Molly - Resurrectionists and she would like to be Mei Feng - The Ten Thunders. The question is can we get the box sets and play or do we need more mini's to be able to play properly. We will be getting more mini's over time but looking for the bare minimum to get started and then we can work on loading up on options. I also have to paint everything so getting stuff over time helps a lot with my sanity

ok thanks all for the quick replies.

Ahh ok, how do I know if they are M1E, M2E or M3E? Are they labeled on the box?

I have read the 3e rule book PDF and was looking at some website making a what i need to buy list and i noticed Faction Packs which are not listed. I just want to double check on if i need these. My understanding is that the faction packs are the upgraded stats, ect. for the new rules for each faction if you are using old models. So if i am buying the models in the next week or so, do i need the corresponding pack for each faction i decide to get? or will they come with the new ones in the box? Just want to make sure i have what i need to play without spending too much to start with. lol

Thank you for the quick reply. FOG seems like a great idea to fill spaces on a starter map. change of plan, instead of doing a street/building plan would this be better for a starter setup. a grass field 3 x 3 a cemetery for the center, something like: https://www.ainstycastings.co.uk/product/cemetery-set/ https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sigmarite-Mausoleum-2017 And then walls and fog placed around the cemetery to create blockages and pathways. https://www.ainstycastings.co.uk/product/12cm-damaged-cemetery-wall/ https://www.ainstycastings.co.uk/product/3cm-cemertery-corner-wall-x2/ https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Walls-Fences I could make a lot of the walls and bits to custom how walls and fences would fit in the plan. But would proberly buy a few bits to get me started. And then FOG/Mist across a grave yard / fields is never a bad thing. Its a much simpler setup for starting with but would it be too simple?

I have nothing and am looking for a good place to start. I read on another post that for a 3 x 3 game area you should cover a 3rd with terrain, is this a default amount or is there advantages/disadvantages to less/more. Going to get a cobblestone mat with the 3e markings because i am going to need all the help i can get but where do i start on buildings and such. Is there guide line of "must haves" and then "nice to haves" to make the game playable or can i just wing it? I will be making some bits no idea how far my skills will take me but crates, walls and such should be within my abilities to start with. Many thanks
