Path To Glory & New Get Starting Sets For Age Of Sigmar
July 15, 2017 by brennon
Some new options are now available for those looking to get stuck into the world of Age Of Sigmar from Games Workshop. Leading the way we have the new Path To Glory Rulebook...
The emphasis in Path To Glory takes your heroes from the fledgling adventures with a band of warriors towards becoming scions of their faction, pinnacles of military and strategic prowess.
These rules were once available in the General's Handbook but now they have expanded them to include a lot of different factions in Age Of Sigmar and additionally, plenty of new rules for you to get stuck into as you play out games.
Getting Started
To aid in that Games Workshop has also now produced three new Get Started Sets. The first of these is for fans of big furry warriors with the Beastclaw Raiders.
While that might seem like quite a mammoth project the focus does seem to be towards a lot of big monsters and such, especially with the likes of the Beastclaw Raiders.
We also have two new sets for the Fyreslayers...
...and the Daemons Of Slaanesh. It's interesting to see them getting themselves a set like this when they have been somewhat written out of the story going forward for Age Of Sigmar.
You'd feel a little hard done by I think as a friend of someone playing Beastclaw raiders to end up facing off against them in something like Path To Glory but you'd think they've balanced it nicely.
Are you tempted to get started in Age Of Sigmar?

It’s about time the Fyreslayers got a Get started box set. I would have got into that army a few months back if they did but chose another army that had the discount box.
That Fyreslayers box will be in my hot lttle hands fore the year is out mark my words. It’ll be great addition to my army
I might not care about AoS but I get deny that those look like solid Getting started boxed sets for it. To me most nice surprise is that Slaanesh Demons get one as well showing that GW has not forgotten him/her. .
It’s kinda growing on me to be honest. When it first came out I was respectful of the balls it took to reset tbe world so dramatically and I even liked the new concept of the setting. But I was less enamoured by the rules, not helped by the fact that the warscrolls for the existing armies were so half arsed. I also very quickly tired of the Stormcast Eternals who as a concept I enjoyed but their apparent ability to constantly be in the spotlight (like Spehz Mehrens) just got on my nerves. But last 12 months they seem… Read more »
No need to rebase them, aside from aesthetic preference. My brother uses a mix of round and square bases on his skeletons, which while it makes my OCD go crazy, is perfectly fine.
May as well give the game a go with the minis you have seeing as the rules and warscrolls are free. I personally love it even though I was apprehensive at first.
thats the exalted chariot in the slaanesh one isnt it?
I’ll be getting the Slaanesh box but for 40K/30K rather than AoS. The exalted chariot is made of two hellflayers/seeker chariots so there’s some room for variability from multiple boxes as well.
So BoW don’t talk pricing, which is fair enough, but it probably bears pointing out that for the Fyreslayers you can now either buy:
– A Magmadroth model for £50, or
– A start collecting box, including a Magmadroth and 10 berserkers… for £50.
I’m really hoping that GW wont be selling many of those single Magmadroths anymore.
On the Australian GW Website if you try to buy a single Magmadroth they give you the Start Collecting set instead….. So it would appear your hopes are fulfilled …. May the rest of your wishes get similar fulfillment 🙂
You can still buy the Magmadroth as a standalone kit on the UK website. The only question I would ask about the Get Started box would be whether or not you get all the options that come with the separate kit. Can it be assembled as multiple versions (Runesmiter/Runefather/Runeson)?
As far as I know it is just the sprues from the other boxes, in one place – so one would assume so.
@onlyonepinman It has the APPEARANCE that you can still buy the standalone kit in Australia too BUT when you click on the link https://www.games-workshop.com/en-AU/Auric-Runesmiter-on-Magmadroth in the description you get the interesting “Please note” part…… maybe it is the same in the UK as the listing is still there. …….I don’t quite know why they are doing it this way but I am not complaining
Looking at that I’d assume that it does have all the sprues
so it does…
HERITICS BLASTFEAMERS great looking figures.
Path to Glory rules are cool so nice to see them all in one place. Will definitely be trying a capaign.
Can’t go wrong with start collecting boxes. Free berzerkers and character when you buy a magmadroth is awesome. 30% discount on the Ogre dudes is great too. They are really tempting me with the Beastclaw Raiders set as even I can manage to paint 5 minis to start an army.
That dwarf at the front is doing that mirror gag thing:
