Sort of new! been playing soulblight gravelords for a few months, now

i want to look into Stormcast Eternals but im on kindof a budget - i'd prefer to get started with some sort of box set, or at least not spend more than 120 to 180 on models just yet.

Any Advice for boxes to grab would be greatly appreciated! Not looking to be super competetive or optimized right off the bat, i just dont wanna get models that ill end up just not using because they're not good or have objectively better alternatives, etc.

My buddy has the warrior starter box for sale plus 3 annihilators, a knight Arcanum, and a knight vexilor with a banner... he said if I buy that starter box, the other 5 models are mine since he doesn't wanna play em. I also got the new warcry team, although I know they don't have aos rules yet...

Again, any help is appreciated!

I just did this myself too, was 80ish for the Start collecting and i picked up 5x vanguard hunters for 25 bux on ebay, and 5 annihilators for another 25 bux

Bringing my grand total to like 130ish. Note that I also grabbed a set of 5 retributors to bring me up to minimum, but Im running annihilators here. Gets me to 1k points pretty easy though.
