Every army, priced and dated
The Cheapest Age of Sigmar Army to Start
Every Age of Sigmar army ranked by what its cheapest start actually costs right now — the lowest price we hold for each army's cheapest box (usually its Spearhead), across every shop we track.
The cheapest way in today is Skaven, at €46.41 for Age of Sigmar: Introductory Set. But the cheapest box is not the cheapest army to own: grown to a full 2,000-point force at the per-point rate its kits actually go for, Flesh-eater Courts comes out lowest at about €420.00.
How this ranking works
"Start" here means the army's cheapest currently-priced box — usually its Spearhead. We compare the latest price at every shop we track and rank on the lowest, and the buy button beside each price goes to the shop quoting it. Rows we cannot price today carry no button rather than a link to somewhere we have not checked.
The last column scales to a standard 2,000-point game, the size most people are actually building towards. It carries a tilde because it is an estimate — but an estimate computed from points we sourced and prices we checked on the date below, at the per-point rate of every kit of that army we can measure. Every other figure you will read for this was arrived at by guessing, and was stale the day Games Workshop last changed the points. Armies do not scale perfectly evenly: characters and centrepiece models cost differently per point from the rank and file, so treat the ordering as sound and the exact number as a good approximation of a moving target.
23 of 24 armies have enough measurable kits to estimate that way. The rest show nothing rather than a weaker number in the same column: multiplying a mean taken over one kit by 2,000 produces a confident four-figure number out of a single data point, which is worse than a blank.
