Where to go from here

Where to go from here

I recently bought a heavily discounted "Starter Set" to play with my 8 year old, as I like Nighthaunts and he likes the Stormcast Eternals. We've played a few games and had fun, I'd like to get some more warbands to include my 12 year old as well but I'm confused how to build out from here. I think this version is quite out of date, so...

  • If we got the latest version would anything from this starter box be usable, or would it effectively mean starting again?
  • If we stick with this version, is this "starter set" the complete rules or is it stripped down in some way?
  • If we stick with this version I imagine you can only get warbands and their cards secondhand by now, is there a list of compatible ones somewhere I could check?

Kitbashing Additional Aquila Teams

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I've not been collecting for a long time and I don't yet understand all the Primaris stuff.

I've got a 5 man Deathwatch Veterans kit still on the sprue, but as they're probably going to be retired I'd prefer to build them as an Aquila killteam. I don't mind running firstborn as Tacticus (if that's the right term - just normal marines), but the Gravis guy makes things complicated. I figure there's probably cheap marine bodies being resold from the Armageddon box, but I don't know which of them match to what roles in the killteam.

If I bought one Aqulia team what's the maximum number of teams I could make with appropriate weapons if I used all the weapons from that and the vets sprues, and what additional bodies would I need to get above and beyond what's already there?

(I've also got two of the mini-of-the-month Deathwatch guys if they can be used.)
