Uhhhh idk dark eldar maybe (previously OP in tabletop but more balanced now). Tyranids are cool. 40k doesn't really have vampires although space marines eat peoples skulls or something in the old lore

they look really nice although exposed faces and all that hair has to be hard to paint. i bought a bunch of used helmet heads for my sigillaria back then just because i had so much trouble painting the heads to any decent standard

They're the traditional starter army. Easy enough for a middle schooler to paint well

They have these "Start Collecting" kits in the Rountree era of GW that get you a basic playable army for "cheap" (Warhammer cheap)

I have a tyranid army. They’re really good this edition.

Space marines are probably a good starter army.

I also like the Tau

I tried getting into a little knick knack hobby. My interest is waning fast. Especially with the downturn.

space marines are cool, and they're probably the easiest to paint and play. i would pick one of the flavors of them (black templars, blood angels, dark angels, space wolves, ultramarines) and pick up a "combat patrol" box. pick based on what looks coolest. if you actually get into it, you'll spend a lot of time looking at models, so the coolness factor is what will keep you going.

if your son is really into dorky tinkering, there are ways to get into magnetizing everything. you might keep him pure save some eskimo kisses through UG.

If I could go back I'd probably try to learn wiring/basic electrician work at that age. Kids can solder by themselves with some experience and it's one of the more niche skills involved in building a home

Models and painting are great for fine motor control though

it's nerd art chess with a big backstory. the whole thing is a big tent meant to cater to different interests. some people just like the backstory (e.g. are reptile), some people just like the hobby part (building and painting models), some people just like the gameplay and treat it as a strategy game with a luck component and a living, changing rules and a meta that you can master. people tend to pick and choose which parts they like. it's nice to be able to fill gaps in your life, e.g. a competitive one in mine; screen-chained white collar professionals often like the tactile and creative aspect that's lacking in email lyfe, ime.
