Best Start Collecting Age of Sigmar Set: Anvilgard
- 99120212023
The Anvilgard is one of the most effective AoS starter kits for 2 units: the Kharibdyss and the Black Ark Corsair troops. Overall, it has 13 Citadel miniatures: 1 Black Ark Fleetmaster HQ, 10 Black Ark Corsair troops, 1 Scourgerunner Chariot and 1 Kharibdyss. The HQ is decent enough in the field as support but the whole set can fight well even without an HQ. The Kharibdyss and Black Ark Corsairs are powerful enough to bring you to victory but the Scourgerunner Chariot is also a good distraction with cheap unit points. The design of the whole set is amazing especially the Kharibdyss. $100 for this is worth buying. The whole set has total points of 430.
