I didn't even notice that, thanks for pointing it out.
Yeah, the Start Collecting and Skirmish boxes are a great way for people to build an army on a budget.
Going off what you said you have right now and looking strictly at stuff in the (soon to be replaced) General's Handbook you'll be sitting at 720 points.
Adding in the skirmish box would give you another 300 points and an understrength unit of Ardboys(minimum unit size for them in Matched Play is 10, you get 5 in the Skirmish set since you can take smaller units there).
Getting two Skirmish boxes($65 each) gives you another 780 points. It brings in two Weirdnobs($33 each), ten Brutes($50 each), and ten Ardboys(fifteen of them are $53 each).
So two boxes at $130 gives you around $219 worth(can't really price the Ardboys out at the moment since you get 15 in a box now) of stuff
and a good chunk of an army that benefits from having large numbers of models.
Also, sorry for throwing math at you.
Just making sure you're informed.
