Hi guys, Karl here this post is on playing games. So first, obviously, you need some models, you can get some at your local hobby shops or Games Workshop stores. (Tip: Try getting some of your first figures on ebay) Secondly you will probably want to paint your figures, again you can get the paints at hobby stores. For painting I always use games workshop's citadel paints. (Tip: if you want to get citadel paint try going on Iconix for cheap ones) Next you will probably be wanting to play a game and you will be wanting a rule book, however these do not come cheap I would suggest buying the Mines of Moria box set which contains 34 models, scenery and a rule book. When you get onto playing you will need some dice, about 12 will do, you will also need a measuring tape. As your armies grow you will need more dice.

This is an expensive hobby so be warned!
