I play the starter box as a self-contained board game of sorts. I like the factions included and despite the on-going gak-storm from other veteran players the rules are actually pretty interesting. IMO they're just as workable as WFB was, at least in 6th-8th editions.

The box is especially good if you use the two forces under the battalion rules and scenarios at the back of the nicely-done campaign/warscroll book that comes with the game. Adding on to the starter is where it gets pricey and a big reason why I'm just sticking with just the starter.

Viewed that way, AoS starter is a really nice product.
I also highly recommend watching this play through video where two players use just the starter set.

Well said Privateer. A great amount of minis, nice instructs and the campaign / warscroll book is slick. The rules are a great template, like some card games, and the scrolls modify, add-to and adjust that rule structure. It's very well done IMO.
