The description is in German but I think that's not important to you

My most question is is that a good base to start and what should I get further for 1 or 2 playable lists?

Greetings

The models are all over the place regarding theme forces. And there are a few plain bad ones in there (Catapult, Incindiarii, Nihilators).

Yeah as far as Exhalted goes, the only models in that collection are Hakaar and an AG. So not a great start there. The only useful unit for Masters of War in there are the Swordsmen and they're lacking a CA. The beast package isn't too great either. Molik is unplayable with Makeda, Tiberion and the Cannoneer are overpriced. The Savages are pretty bad and Scarabs only really make sense with Makeda1.

Where in Germany are you from and are you planning on attending any events? I've got a spare Hexy1 because I'm an idiot and you can have him.

Zich has covered most of it; these models don't synergize into any coherent list with significant additions.

That's not to say it's all dead weight crap. Most of them have play in some list, only a few Reptile Hounds, Savages, Nihilators) are substandard choices everywhere.

Of course, price point is the key. If you're willing to spend over the top to flesh out your selection, you'll have a broad spectrum starting point to build in multiple dirrctions from.
