Getting Started with Age of Sigmar Magazine | Product Review

[@UnderTheSkin13]

The thinner, rounder sprues are usually a sign that the models can be easily popped out with no need for a cutter. They used the same ones on the blind bags for terminators and the like. Considering this is a magazine for beginners who wouldn't have hobby equipment, it makes sense to make the miniatures easy to pop out.

Good to know, I knew that they were the push out type of connections, but hadn't realized that was what the round sprue meant

@@SleepyWhatsIt Yeah, they're the same type of sprue they use in Japanese plastic model kits, because that's what they're used to.

Interesting, did not know about that. As I mentioned in that video (I think) they remind me of the sprues that GW used in the 90s. I assume GW bought/adapted technology from Japan when they started making plastic models.

I got mine today, too. :D Mostly because I wanted the paint guide and the single minis to experiment on. Such hesitation when I get a full unit and ruin them. So much less stress when it's a single model. :D And the painting guide is really stellar this time compared to the other incarnations of this "Getting started" magazine. :D

I totally agree, the paint guide was surprisingly good compared to what they have been publishing for a long time. I hope no one got in trouble for being too good 😂

I really like these magazines for beginners. I try not to miss any such book with miniatures. My favorite, however, was for Warhammer Äge of Sigmar 2.0. There was a character - Knight-Incantor. And the book was translated into my native language! So I'll even buy such a book for the Horse Heresy, although I don't want to collect it. I hope there will be some neutral Space Marines. After all, these are the few "limited" miniatures that I can afford to buy in these grimdark times.

The 360's are really helpful, thanks!
