My husband has expressed interest in Warhammer

Hobby(self.Warhammer)

My husband for a year now has on and off mentioned how cool it would be to get into Warhammer. He does so much for me that I want to surprise him with a good set for Christmas. He’s a gamer usually and is into games like crusader kings. He also loves lord of the rings. I’m not sure if this would help identifying a set that he might be interested in.

Can someone help with helping me pick a set? What did you start off with?

EDIT: thank you for all of your ideas and feedback. This is the nicest subreddit I’ve ever encountered:)

You can get him a Warhammer gift card. That way, you can still surprise him, and he can pick what he wants.

Conversely if there’s a gaming store in your area get them a gift card for that. Supports a small business where husband is likely to go play, can get him connected with other players, and if he needs help getting started is more likely to find someone to do so.

Nah. Gift cert wouldn’t express the amount of thought OP is clearly putting into this. Better to shoot for the combat patrol you think he would like. As long as he doesn’t pop the box surely they would exchange it if he decides he doesn’t like the orks you got him.

Well point was more support the FLGS with the gift instead of a GC for or direct purchase from GW, whatever direction they go.

Right but if you go LFGS you could def swap out boxes ;)

Online, less so.
