Are you possibly me from the future? I filled him in on the tips everyone shared her but he's ultimately decided on AoS, and Skaven seem to be the set he's most interested in! He's definitely more of a fan of fantasy than Sci-Fi so I shouldn't be surprised. I doubt I'll be able to help much with painting though, hands are way too shaky :/
I wonder if Fantasy/SF/Horror have a cyclical rotation and that kids are just into Fantasy at the moment? Of all the AoS armies, Skaven are the best and there are some crazy miniatures. I was TERRIBLE beyond belief when I started painting but I found that if I took things slowly and watched some tutorials my skills really did improve. (Another thing to watch out for is Yugioh! - my son is OBSESSED with the card game and it’s bankrupting us!!! 😆 )
Ha, we have the same issue but with Magic the Gathering. You'll definitely want to keep your son away from MtG if you want to avoid bankruptcy 😭
