The best place to go for community thoughts on anything in Warmahordes is the [http://battlecollege.org/index.php/Main_Page BattleCollege community wiki]. It's a great starting resource for any player, whether newbie <strike>or experienced tournament contestant</strike>. Do some reading on any faction that interests you and see what units work and what don't. Take everything they say with a grain of salt, because the contributors don't always know what they're talking about and can sometimes get shit horribly wrong.

No matter what you choose to buy, you'll need a copy of either ''Warmachine Prime
MkII
'' or ''Hordes Primal
MkII
'', which are the core rulebooks for the games. Except you don't need to buy them anymore, because [http://privateerpress.com/the-rules-are-free the rulebook is free]. You should also look up Privateer Press' token sets, which are very handy for keeping track of status effects, focus and fury points, and so on.

Once you know what you want to play, you're very likely best off getting either the Battlegroup Box for your chosen faction or the All-In-One Army Box, if it's available. Both are absolutely incredible deals for the price. The Battlegroup box will come with a single warnoun and a handful of warjacks or warbeasts, while the All-In-One Army Box is more expensive and comes with a basic starter army (which is usually fairly solid, if not exactly top-tier). Both are great places to start your collection, and will save you a lot of money.
