Toys and Games Reviews of WarHammer Fantasy Battle of Skull Pass
Customer Review: Great way to start the hobby
Summary: 5 Stars
Our Games Workshop hobby development advisor (AKA guy in the warhammer shop) advised us (me and my eight year old son) to start our Warhammer hobby with this set. Our son attended a number of free hobby sessions in the shop, and started the process of painting the figures in the set.
While the kids can see the value in amassing their armies via this set, it has a number of advantages they perhaps don't realise. Most importantly, it contains pieces that don't require complex assembly. Secondly, the two armies have a standard set of colours for each of their troops, and therefore are relatively simple to paint. Thirdly, the armies can employ simpler strategies when it comes to finally putting them on the battlefield.
My role has been to cut out, clean up and glue the pieces together, followed by applying the black undercoat via a spray can application. This is an important additional requirement, as is the hobby starter set and a pot of metallic gold paint. My son then does the painting, providing him with a creative outlet. He gets a great sense of pride in completing the figures, and displays great patience in carefully painting each figure. He generally needs around half an hour for each one (accounting for distractions such as his younger brother).
Going back to the Games Workshop store has been very useful, especially in maintaining a relationship with the staff there, and seeing what the other hobbyists are up to - mostly teenage boys.
My eight year old hasn't really developed much of an understanding of the rules yet, but he's slowly getting there. He does enjoy learning about the game, and also about the fantasy world portrayed by Warhammer.
After nearly a month, he is in the home stretch for completing his painting and basing (that is adding terrain such as grass and rocks to the figure bases). From then on it will be interesting to see where his interest takes him.
