There is a small chance.
« on: June 22, 2017, 12:28:53 PM »
A few questions about 40k.
If you can answer with lists it would be amazing, but any other answer is also useful.

1) Which army(ies) are fun and competitive with the fewest amount of big models? (big models = bigger than our Steam tank).
2) Which army(ies) have the must unique models ? i.e. Harlequin have really nice models, but few in quantity. 
3) Any good bungles, or army starters to recommend $ wise?

3) All the Start Collecting boxes are good, and the bundles with 1 transport + unit are good also

Yeah, I get one of those or the starter set. I liked the Harlequins but that army is really expensive.  :icon_cry:

Price wise, the starter set is just pretty good. I do not know why I hate having to buy the book. Anyone wants to buy my book?

1) Necrons, I think.
2) Eldar, IG if you convert them, Orks! They also have few big models.
3) Start collecting, eBay for a big army for low price.

Marines don't offer variety but you can get into any point level at rock bottom prices.  Honestly, you can get marine models at under a $1 each.

And you don't need to use anything but infantry with them.

I saw an army of consisting of only 12 assassins. That was last edition though.
I agree with the inhumane treatment of animals.

You could do that in the new edition, too.

Assassins were crazily good, last edition. Maybe except the Eversor - he sucked.

Thanks for all your input guys. Finally the wallet had the biggest say, and I went for the starter back. Normally this are really good to start, and great price.

I will probably start with the Marines since I think they are easier to paint, and the other models I think are more interesting. I will wait, until I learn how to paint to do those.

I may do a little blog about my journey on 40k, will see.

Good painting vids up at warhammerTV on youtube for those starterset models!
