[QUOTE="mmadsen, post: 292885, member: 1645"] [b]Re: Starter set[/b] So true. Games Workshop did a better job with their Lord of the Rings strategy battle game, but you still need to clip the plastic figures out of their sprues -- and you may want to be very careful about that -- and you have to put the figures into their bases -- which generally requires gluing, which you may not want to do until you've painted them.
