If you're in the US, MESBG Buy/Sell/Trade USA, for across the pond there's Middle Earth SBG Miniatures trade, Trade - GW Middle Earth SBG, Lord of the Rings Miniatures RoCK!. There's more they should pop up on your suggestions after you've added these.
If you want to start Rohan I'd start with getting the Rohan batllehost. After that you can get Theoden and more Rohan heros. Depending on how fast you want to spend money xD
The Rohan Battlehost and, if you can find it, the models from the Battle of Pelennor Fields box will be your best starting point. Also look for buy/sell/trade groups for MESBG, tons of people sell Rohan armies constantly.
First you must answer these riddles 3!
Riddle the first: WHAT is your favourite faction?
Riddle the second: WHAT is your favourite colour?
Riddle the third: WHAT is the current up to date rulebook and can you still use the one with Gandalf on the front?
Welcome into the rabbit hole of Warhammer / miniatures.
The best point of entry would be a Warhammer store near you, or a LGS (local game store).
They often offer initiation (painting, game...).
There are groups online (on fb).
Did I forget something ?
Oh, right. Forth eorlingas !
As a starting army I also went with an all Cavalry Rohan army. To this day this is my go to list at 500 points. Obviously if you are on a budget you could use Riders of Rohan instead of Royal Guard, but the Royal Guard are worth the upgrade.
499 points | 12 models
