Age of Sigmar overview
Age of Sigmar is Games Workshop's fantasy mass-battle game set in the Mortal Realms after the destruction of the Old World. Four Grand Alliances — Order, Chaos, Death and Destruction — split into ~25 factions, each with bespoke plastic ranges built around heroes, battleline troops, and monstrous centrepieces.
Buying advice for second-hand collectors
AoS rotates rules and battletomes faster than 40K — check the current edition's points and warscroll for any unit you buy. Spearhead boxes (the AoS equivalent of Combat Patrols) are the best per-point value second-hand. Watch for OOP Stormcast sculpts being remade in current editions.
Collecting & army-building advice
AoS rewards visually-themed armies — pick a Grand Alliance aesthetic before a faction. Most veterans suggest a Spearhead box, a battleline expansion, and a single monstrous hero as the core 1,500-point army. Round bases are universal; rebasing old Warhammer Fantasy models is straightforward.

Frequently asked questions
- Do old Warhammer Fantasy models work in Age of Sigmar?
- Yes — most squarebased Fantasy models have current AoS warscrolls, often via Cities of Sigmar, Soulblight Gravelords or the Grand Alliance forces. Rebasing to round bases is recommended.
- What's the AoS equivalent of a Combat Patrol?
- Spearhead boxes — single-faction starter armies with a hero, battleline troops and an elite or monster unit. They are the best second-hand value for new players.
- Which AoS factions hold their value second-hand?
- OOP Stormcast Vanguard sculpts, original Nighthaunt sculpts, and the entire pre-rebase Tomb Kings / Bretonnia ranges (now Old World) consistently sell above RRP.
