	* Enclave Soldier: Your long range shooter for Enclave, the Soldier is perhaps the most mediocre of the Aura options. This is not to say it is bad, but ~~an Armor Pen~~ dice is only as useful as your target is armored, and the ability to ignore cover at short range, while always nice, is likely not going to come up too often, as units that close generally will be melee-focused and thus want to charge. This combined with the fact that Soldiers want to fight at long range, ideally with a Laser Rifle, makes the Soldier the model most likely to get left at home in an Enclave list. Still, might see some use in mirror matches and against Brotherhood lists.		* Enclave Soldier: Your long range shooter for Enclave, the Soldier is perhaps the most mediocre of the Aura options.

	====Robots====		====Robots====

			====Enclave====

			The Enclave are about what you'd expect; an elite focused faction with expensive models (a stock Enclave Soldier is more expensive than a Brotherhood Knight with some gear) that hits hard and refuses to die to anything less than concentrated fire. Their main gimmick is their reliance on Aura abilities, providing various buffs to units in Enclave or Hellfire power armor within range. These range from extra dice to help with combat rolls or other benefits such as shooting into melee without risk of hitting your own forces. You can only get one instance of each aura, so most Enclave forces only bring one of each model they want to maximize the amount of buffs they have, maximizing the power of the force at the cost of lacking ant redundancy; even more than the Brotherhood of Steel, each model lost is going to hurt, as not only have you lost an expensive model, you've also lost the bonuses that model was throwing out.

			===General Tactics===
			* Yes, there are rules for cars exploding in a mushroom cloud when they take enough damage. Bust out those old Hot Wheels cars from your childhood or pick some up. Any faction can take advantage of this.
			* No matter what mode you are playing, there are objectives beyond just killing. Characters who can react well to situations indicated on cards, or hack terminals and pick locks, are useful to let wander the map and loot shit like a player character and try not to be picked off while the rest of the group kills the enemy like Essential Companions.

	* '''Caps'''		* '''Caps'''
	A set of bottle caps printed to look like Nuka Cola caps that are used as currency in the Fallout universe. These are NOT intended as currency in the game, but rather a sheet of stickers is included to place on the bottom of the caps which allow you to use them to replace tokens. Why do this? Well, there's too many different kinds of tokens in the game for Modiphius to easily make a token set, and they got the jump on companies like Litko that usually make third party ones out of plastic. Some people just hate the stock cardboard starter set shit included in games for some reason. You can still use them as currency in campaigns, but you may need more of them since you only get 50 in a pack. You're better off just saving real bottle caps from whatever you drink, and paint them red then glue some printed out Nuka logos onto them. This pack comes with a bonus weapon card if that means much to you. Highly skippable, unless you just want them for decoration on your desk or the side of the board or whatever.

Some people just hate the stock cardboard starter set shit included in games for some reason. You can still use them as currency in campaigns, but you may need more of them for longer ones since you only get 50 in a pack (for comparison, a fairly valuable Sealed Wonderglue bottle you can find as loot has a value of 16).

This pack comes with a bonus weapon card if that means much to you. Highly skippable, unless you just want them for decoration on your desk or the side of the board or whatever. You lay be able to recoup some of the cost by buying multiples and throwing the cards on ebay, or buying the cards that way if that’s what you want.

	* '''Scatter'''		* '''Scatter'''
	Its the terrain. It looks exactly like what you see in Fallout 4. You can easily emulate it all for much cheaper, but it does look really good painted up. There's no reason in the rules you have to buy the official stuff, since there's no real height requirements for specific things. Its just premium content.		Its the terrain. It looks exactly like what you see in Fallout 4 and most of the rest of the series. You can easily emulate it all for much cheaper, but it does look really good painted up and saves you scratchbuilding time for buildings instead.

	* '''Red Rocket Scenic Set'''		* '''Red Rocket Scenic Set'''
	The ultimate in premium stuff you don’t need, this scenery set perfectly replicates the iconic Settlement from the Fallout 4 trailers and load screen which is (usually) the second Settlement you get in the game. Very overpriced for printed cardboard and resin bits, but you get what you pay for in terms of appearance not to mention only having a few pieces to paint. Has detailed interiors. Its made by [[Battlesystems]], which is amusing since they are probably your first choice for cheaper generic premade terrain. Get this if you’re the kind of person who gets into [[Warhammer 40000]] by browsing [[Forgeworld]].

			* '''Red Rocket Scenic Set (No Mat)'''
			A cheaper version of the above set, coming in around half the price ($44.66 vs $82.93). So what are you giving up to get this cheaper set? The playmat. The 3ftx3ft mat, which is identical to the one you got in the Starter Set. If you want a Red Rocket, buy this one obviously. Hell, you can get an entire Starter Set when its on sale for the price of that fucking mat.

	* '''Two Player Starter Set'''		* '''Two Player Starter Set'''
	Obviously, you want to start with this. It gives you the usual stuff like markers, range and templates, dice, and the rulebooks, but the other contents are more useful than most game starter sets. The playmat is generic enough that almost any video or picture you can find of people playing the game is one or two of them put together with different scenery on it, looking fitting every time. The miniatures included not only represent your start to the Survivors and Super Mutant factions, but also include a Brotherhood Of Steel Paladin, a Deathclaw, and an alien which find a fair amount of use in the non-skirmish game modes. You'll want to pick one up. They go on sale sporadically on Miniatures Market, more so than the starters for similar games. Its not exactly the best deal to buy two of them since there's not much need for a second Nora, there's another pack where you can get another Dogmeat that has a different sculpt and different cards, and the game doesn't have much need for each player to have their own set of the tools, there's something to be said for getting two Deathclaws, two Paladins, two aliens, and two game mats. Still, if you do want those things then consider looking on ebay for individual parts being sold first.		Obviously, you want to start with this.
