Warhammer?

I've been jw for a while now. It looks interesting and i might want to try. So here is a few questions:



1. What is a good, cheap, full, starter set?

2. Where is it located at the cheapest price



Thanks!Warhammer?
I do not mean to discourage you to playing warhammer, because it is an amazingly fun hobby and wargame. There is nothing cheap however, about the game.



First, ask yourself, are you interested in painting as well as the wargame? Are you going to get the most out of your money?



If you know of a games workshop store in your area, I suggest taking the time, and heading over there. Most likely one of the staff will show you how the game works, and give you a chance to play. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did, and you will be immediately hooked.



Unfortunately, none of the armies in the warhammer world are necessarily "cheaper" then the others. Choosing an army depends on your playstyle and painting style. (good, evil, melee/magic/shooting oriented). As for starter sets, there is one for every army, but they cost in the 2-3 hundred dollar range, and you usually save about 30 bucks. Personally, I wouldn't suggest them for somebody who is just starting (kind of Ironic seeing as it is a "starter" set)



A basic warhammer army consists of two "core" choices and a hero. I would suggest finding an army you are interested in playing, and buying one of the core selections to start off, eventually buying another core, and a hero. As soon as you do that, you are ready to start playing :)



As for the cheapest place, at least around where I am from, they are all generally the same price. Perhaps the cheapest would be straight from the GW website? All in all its pretty standard...



Hope this helps, even though it was probably not the answer you were looking to hear :P
