      How do you start a new army?

      By MARK0SIAN · Posted

      For me it happens in one of three pretty similar ways.   The first is I might already have an interest in the faction but there’s something holding me back, normally that the models don’t inspire me. A perfect example of this is World Eaters, I’ve thought they were a cool idea for a while but there was absolutely no way I was ever starting an army of them with the previous generation of terrible berzerker models. Then GW updates or expands the range and suddenly that barrier is gone and I’m ready to start the army.    The second is that I like the models and the army already but the price barrier is too high, Mechanicum and Solar Auxilia for example were too pricey because they were resin armies. GW then release (or will soon release) them in plastic and they become more affordable so I can start the army.   The third is that I may have had no previous interest in a faction at all but then GW releases something cool that sparks my interest and I’ll look into them more seriously.    Whichever one of those steps is first, the second step is for me to look at the rules for the army. This is mainly to see if they will play in a style I like.   The third step is to then write a list, starting with the models that drew me to the faction and working out where to go from there. What I buy to start the collection will depend on that list.

      By KaosRaptor · Posted

      Been a while since I posted anything of mine on here, but I'm pretty proud of these ones.   TITHI finished a squad of Sternguard that have been sitting on my desk for over a month - I caught covid for the first time while painting these and still haven't entirely recovered, my hands have been shakier ever since and I have a stubborn cough that won't go away. Despite that I'm really happy with how these guys turned out. Got a little bit of freehand on the parchment with words like purge, banish, etc., and did a little bit of kitbashing to really make them mine.

      How do you start a new army?

      By Bung · Posted

      I think you need to find out what motivated you the most. Lore, Miniatures, painting, Game mechanics etc. a combination of them. Everyone has a different taste.   For myself for any game i get a bit into the Lore and the Miniatures first. I think its important playing Miniatures you like to paint with a fitting Backstory. If getting a warband, army, fleet, etc. ready for playing comes to you as a chore you probably wont have fun with that Project.   For buying / building i would recommend doing the "must-haves" first. For example in Horus Heresy you need 2 compulsory Troops for any army list. Doing 20-40 Bolter Marines sounds boring but a) after that you can expand in any direction and dont need to get back doing "must-haves" units to change your army list if you want to change and b) after that Miniatures you got experience with your colour sheme which will speed up painting the rest and any mistakes wont be noticed that much in a bunch of other Miniatures.   As for color shemes thats something personal too as it can be as simple or complicated as you like and heavily depends on the tools at your disposal.  Even personal preference comes into the mix here.   For me, when I started a Horus Heresy Army a few years ago and after painting Black Templars over a few Editions of the Game i knew i didnt want to paint a Legion with Black or White as a main colour.
