Search flea markets and “free to give away” offers
Lastly, during household clear-outs of all kinds, you might occasionally come across a little treasure. This tip, however, is only suitable for those with plenty of time or those who enjoy browsing flea markets.
Because the likelihood of finding Warhammer figures that someone is offering cheaply is low – but it does exist. For example, one user found suitcases with figures worth 500 euros among things that were “free to give away.”
Other fans report that they could cheaply take home armies from people’s garage sales, even though in one specific case, the father offered the minis of his “useless son,” probably without knowing their worth.
So if you want to start with Warhammer but don’t want to spend a lot of money, you have several options to save when buying figures and diving into the world. However, a fair dose of luck is often necessary.
If you are interested in the world but are not sure what exactly you want to play, you should first get an idea of the many different races.
