First Necron Purchase

[Mirk]

This is a list of my first purchase. Please let me know if there are any glaring blunders. I am brand new to the hobby and admittedly I'm looking at stuff I like.

 

Start Collecting being

 

10 x warriors

5 x immortals

3 x scarabs

1 x overlord

1 x annihilation barge

 

Then;

 

Triarch Stalker

Triarch Praetorians

Doom Scythe

Tomb blades

 

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I haven't played 40k in quite some time and Necrons not at all so take that into consideration. :)  I would recommend getting a second start collecting box set so you could field full squads of warriors and immortals.  After that, I'd say get a couple halves of the Forgebane box set.   With these 2 sets, you'd get a full squad of wraiths, immortals (or deathmarks), and a squad of Praetorians (or Lychguard).

Others may be able to help with unit selection depending on what kind of play style that you expect as well as what dynasty and points limit that you expect to play at.

Just some advice (learned from experience)

 

• Warhammer is an expensive hobby, besides models you need alot more like dice, rulebook, codex (if you want to play kill team to start out you need kill team rulebook, faction book), a way to transport your models because dumping them in a bag might not be healthy for your plastic, glue, paint, brushes, etc.
• Start out small to see if you like the game, the faction, the game mode.
• Paint before you buy new models (i went waaay overboard when starting out causing a huge backlog and had me end up disliking my first faction when i started out)
• There's online retailers that sell models cheaper than games workshop webshop (usually 15-25% discount)
• Make sure you buy the models because you like the faction/models not because of what is strong at that moment.
• Don't rush your painting, try to improve everytime you paint. (the models are expensive, you want your models to look their very best)
• Don't forget decorating your bases (they can really up your models looks)
• Have fun, it's a hobby not a job.

Thank you. I does make sense.

 

I think one can put a bit too much pressure on oneself in the beginning.
