Thanks for the additional recommendations and experiences everyone.

I got my girlfriend the GW Age of Sigmar starter set. It’s a reasonable mix of base colours with a small number of other paints (layers, an ink, a ‘dry’ paint, a ghosty technical paint, etc). And an Army Painter set of brushes (base, detail and dry brush). I wanted to get them in time for her birthday so couldn’t wait for the army and character brushes, but will get them in due course. I’ve also got an Army Painter wet palette on the way.

She’s put together some Terminator: Genysis terminators and resistance to try out the clippers and mould line remover and has been experimenting with the paints this evening. I’ve not seen how it’s gone yet!

Oh, I also bought her a couple of extra inks and a green to go with the starter set.

I’ll check out some of these large brush videos before recommending them to her – and then only if I can actually find some decent large brushes.

She seems to be having a good time though!
