So, I already posted the contents of the starter set, but a few more details have become apparent as some early sets have leaked out. Well, there are apparently no POINTS VALUES FOR ANY OF THE MODELS IN THE STARTER SET. Profiles, yes, points value, no. Now I thought the price of the starter set was a bit high, but within reason as the set contains 55 models, scenery, rulers, dice and a mini rule book.
To put this into perspective:
Well, it is more than that. I personally spent $185.00 on the source books that were released earlier in the year so I could play with the latest army building changes and have all the point values for the models I already own. Well, I purchased the starter set so I could incorporate some of the starter models that I wanted to use/like into the armies that I already have, as well as get a handle on the new rules. If there are truly no points values for any of the models in the starter set anywhere in the starter set, then I will just send it back. Let me tell you something Games Workshop, a starter set is not just for getting people into the game, you are revamping the game and a lot of us who are long time players are interested in those revamps. Well, this starter set is not good for anything other then the couple of scenarios that you, GW, have in the set. How will this get people to buy more models? Oh, you want them to buy the $85 dollar rule book? They will not do that, you might sell one or the other but not both a rule book and a starter set.
Maybe that is your plan.
Hey all you vets, just get the rule book, don't buy the starter set.
Hey all you people interested in starting the game, don't buy the rule book, just buy a starter set. Which does not really lend itself to other purchases without getting the full size rule book or a LoTR source book, which you may not understand.
Updating later
