I saw an icestorm starter set at my job last night and fell in love with the models, but where can I get it, whats a good price? And just as importantly how does it play?

What did you wish you had known when first getting started?

I'm UK based and please educate me!

I will let IJW, Shae, or the wayland comment on prices in Britain. As for where check the major online retailer for minatures you may use.

It plays great, and the minis are fantastic.

The QuickStart rules will get you into the swing of things, and the card terrain is useful for getting you started.

Things I wish I knew when I got started? Well, I thought originally it would be a few minis and that was it lol, I wish I knew how many I would end up buying lol (they look far too good in the cabinet)

My advice would be to work through the intro missions, it takes a little time to get used to the order system. One of our group went for a tag, some remotes and a couple of cheap troops for his starting force. That was a pain at the start. Don't try to use all the rules at once, they come quick enough once you grasp the core mechanics.
