It all depends on how you want to approach the game. If where you live, there is an established mesbg community, then it s just a matter of what you want to play. In this case I d advise you to get the Rules Manual and both Army books first. Scroll through the army lists, see what seems appealing to you and start collecting stuff for that army list.
A little tip that I can give you on that is that no matter if you are a casual player or a competitive player, don t follow the route of "what is meta / what is op". Since you start now with the game, you should know that Mesbg is quite a balanced game and as people like to call it "easy to learn, hard to master". Find something that suits YOUR playstyle.
If you where you live there is no esbalished mesbg community and you d like to bring people into the game, the War of the Rohirrim starter box is the go to solution because you get the best value-for-money out of it, with two ready armies to play with and the possibility of inviting a friend over and introduce him into the game. The starter box even comes with 4 beginner friendly scenarios so that you and a friend can enjoy and learn the game, step by step and have fun while at it. 😊

There isn't much of a community where I live, at least not that I've found, so the War of Rohirrim starter might be best like you said. However, the Hill Tribes don't really excite me and my favorite looking models are the Haradrim. However, I also have no scenery or anything so I may just need to bite the bullet for now and get the starter.
