Before you decide to do this, does he actually show any interest in your hobby?  If he has seen your models and is really keen to play with his dad, then I reckon one of the best ways to start is actually to maybe paint some stuff with him, probably some space Marines or Stormcast Eternals because what kid doesn’t like super human Warriors right?  Sitting down and following rules might not be what he wants to do – I can well imagine that being the case for a 5 year old boy, even though it’s a long time since I was one.

In terms of games most dungeon crawlers are aimed closer to the 12+ mark and I don’t really see much variation in that – maybe Mice and Mystics?  Now, this isn’t a dungeon crawler as such but I bought this on Kickstarter as “one for the future” for my little girl when she gets older.  It’s still aimed at 8+ but that’s not quite as big a gap as 12+ for a 5 year old.
