Awesome! Welcome to the club

Ah the first purchase, one you'll remember forever. I started off with a beginner's box of Gondor and one of Mordor Orcs when the third film came out. Well done for taking the plunge

Nice one. Just remember to take your time and dont be afraid to ask questions to get the most out of it.

one of the best things about starting out with a great community like this is that it will help you get better and it will give you ideas.

i know how you feel Gwaryan, however my first set was the mines of moria set and the MG goblin paint set!

You know, I dont remember my first purchase.....and that was before I started drinking!

I wanna say it was the ROTK start with Minis Tirith and Orcs. I think I bought two of them because they were a deal compared with individual boxes and had scenery.

The fellowship box set when the game first came out, I just couldn't resist!

Last alliance box for me. Elves, men and goblins, perfect to get started on a small scale, pity they don't still do it.

Welcome! Mine was a box of 24 mordor Orcs which I was made to split with my younger brother. Cost me £14.50. Magic.

I remember as a Christmas present, I received The Two Towers box set. And I've been steadily growing my collection off of BGiME packs ever since.

I started with the hobby at the time of the Battle Games magazines. So my first purchase was the first issue of the magazine with 12 Moria Goblins for 4 euros.

Mine was Bilbo Baggins on the day the hobby started. Went down on my lunch break to buy it. A whopping £3

I started with the 9 generic plastic ringwraiths. About 2 years ago.

Battle Games in Middle-earth Issue 1 for me - £2.99 I think with 12 plastic goblins, brush and paints! That must be about 11 years ago?! Had about a 7 year gap though!

Welcome!

Yeah this kit was so good I remember picking up a set. I wish they'd done it for the rest of the range for example get Uruk Hai/Rohan Warriors for TTT and Minas Tirith/Orcs for RoTK because it allowed to expand 2 sets of forces with one box.

My very first box was TTT starter kit. Rulebook, 20 Uruk Hai, 12 Riders of Rohan and a bit of terrain for £40. Was so epic, shame all the riders are broken now and most of the Uruk Hai

I am now in the process of ordering Thror, Thrain Celeborn and Rumil to lead the warbands. I know that they are high points cost but I will later get goblin town so no point in spending 60$ for 2 Balins, Thorins and Dwalins.
