My son wanted this game a few months back and I looked into getting it, but because it was kind of expensive and I was only finding it in stock overseas, I held off because I had heard a rumor on Board Game Geek that FFG would be distributing it in the USA soon... I am glad I didhold off because now I can get the game a lot cheaper than if I had gotten into it a few months ago... the main box set is going to run me about $55 now, whereas I was looking at spending probably over $100 for it a few months ago with shipping.
Now here is my question... my son is 13 years old and is quite a good gamer, he has played Warhammer 40k and some of the more complex board games as well, so I am not worried about him and the rules for this, but I am not sure what would be best to puchase if I was able to spend about $150 - $200 on this for him... can anyone here tell me what is best for me to buy? Is the boxed set worth getting since I have read it has more basic rules and I'll be buying a new rulebook any way? Or should I skip the main boxed set and get the rule book/army books and other figure sets, etc.
I want to maximize what I can get with the money I can spend on it at the moment, but since I have not played it, or spoken to anyone personally who has, I am at a loss for exactly what to get. I think I am going to order the main boxed set to start, plus the advanced rules book as well... Now if I wanted to spend a little more money and get an extra unit or two that would go well with the main box, do any of you have some recomendations? Something that I could add to each side that would still allow us to use the main set and extra set(s) and keep somewhat balanced games, this will give us a chance to get some good gaming in, see what we like/dislike and then purchase more units according to our tastes.
Thanks for any help anyone can shoot my way.
