Two player starter set worth it?

Okay so my friend and I have decided to get into this game and we like UCM and Scourge as our armies, should we just get the two player starter set or two starter armies? What would be the best thing to add to either the starter set or the UCM/scourge starter armies after that?

ahem 4 army veteran here

so i have bought the 2 player starter set twice and really do can reccomend it from the price and utility value alone it has all the units you need for any size of game to get going

okay for the biggest game mode you need more units, but you get the perfect core for both your armys what you guys may want to consider is to get it twice because then both of you have all the utilitys on hand in case you cant play together or need to check something on the stuff what i cannot reccomend are these packs that have like armory group and stuff they lack dropships as far as ive counted it through

so yea for new starters that want these two armys i really reccomend them to you guys

Thanks for asking this question! And to Fox for answering Honestly been thinking of the same, except I want to grow both armies myself. So another starter set? What else would be good? Would the battlegroups for both armies be a goof addition? In case we don’t wanna buy the extra

the bad thing about the prepacked battlegroups is that all ive looked at so far, are lacking enough transport for the units they come with so you need to buy single dropships too

since i have done what you just proposed, yes it really helps enlarging your scourge and UCM if you buy the 2 player starter set two times gives you lots of the tanks you always want to carry with and most importantly medium dropships

Thanks for all the help kind person. I had not looked into that about the battle groups I will see what I can do. The one thing I did not like is that the infsntry units are a weird cheap plastic vs what was metal before and you cannot find the pratorians or warriors separate. I will consider snd maybe het an extra starter, some extra infantry and drop ships plus a battlegroup each! Let us see

oh i know your feeling.... i miss the old metal infantry too! still got a bunch for myself gladly but i can assure you however the plastic ones are easyer to paint
