I started with the new Starter set kill team a month ago. Its been a awesome experience. The only thing stopping me from building armies for the 40k game are the prices. I feel like those r very over blown. You don't need to buy paints from citadel!!! Regular stuff that are 5bucks works well enough! Something ive learnt being in a few discord communities. They help out a ton. Its a slow hobby may take a good year to get use to things.
Also - look for hobby shops with marked down prices, don't buy straight from GW and look for pre-owned miniatures after you know what you want to play. Especially Marines and Chaos Marines have a big after market, you can find unopened boxes and new-on-sprue products at a cheaper price.
Don't be intimidated of the building & painting of models. Building is easy & there is no minimum level of artistic quality that you need to meet outside of your own.
Thanks for sharing. Yes I agree. It is very easy to look at incredibly well painted minis online or in the box art and feel down when you don't hit that level. I think it is best to aim for what you feel comfortable doing and push yourself how you like and when you like. If you just keep at it you will see improvement over time.
One big recommendation if you want to play the game: choose the faction that you like, find interesting, and have a playstyle you like, DO NOT pick a faction based on their current power level, because they're winning a lot of tournaments, etc. The game gets rebalanced constantly, so a faction that is considered weak could be considered the strongest in the game with one data-slate change. Likewise, if you just plan on playing the game casually, the meta really won't matter.

Thanks for sharing! Glad you have enjoyed the Kill Team starter set. Great box.
@@BrotherVeli Great tips! Thanks for sharing those. I rarely, if ever, buy items that are not on some kind of discount myself.

Completely agree - picking a faction based on their current power level is rarely a good idea.
