    Having recently painted up my Octarius Ork Kommandos as well as a box of Gretchin I bought during a recent visit to Warhammer World in Nottingham, I realised the other day that along with my other greenskins I already had over 500 points; enough to put together a small green tide! Or at least a green trickle. But I find myself planning which HQ to buy next, maybe some silly Killa Kanz and a Mech Gun and a War Boss and a pain doc and some more crazy grots and a ... well ... you get the picture!

      Any luck with that army? I'm looking to get started playing with Orkz as well. I'm also starting with the Kill Team Octarius box set, but I may have found a good deal on a Combat Patrol with codex. What's a solid army comp and strategy from those available units?

      @@donnylurch4207 Hi! Slowly but surely, I'm getting there. I've now got 60 grots, 10 Kommandos, 12 boyz with Nob, and Zodgrod Wartsnagga (still boxed). Next I want to collect some Killa Kanz and Mech Gunz.
      Combat Patrol is excellent value! But I'm building up a grot-based army. I think Combat Patrol gives you 500 points, but there's plenty to add on, I guess. I think there's a new set of army rules coming out, but I'm kind of building my own list which I can mix and match later, to suit.

    Great video! Thanks! I'm new to the hobby. Just spent $1,452 (£1,258) on Primaris models alone over the past six weeks. I feel this will give me the ultimate flexibility to try different builds and see what works for my style of play. I bought some limited edition and variant models (i.e. 5 different Captains) just to have them in my collection. Also bought a Battlefoam 720 bag with magna rack sliders. Did I overspend? Who cares?! As you said, I'm enjoying the hobby my way. Cheers!

    just a couple of suggestions a) buy Vallejo or AK Interactive paints their cheaper and give you more paint (b) use Army Painter brushes their cheaper and better quality brushes i find (c) use a non-gw plastic glue i use tamiya cement as it comes witha brush applicator so saves on glue....for models goto either Wayland games or Element Games websites their both regular stores but their about the best priced in the UK if you want to order stuff other than that just support your local store

    I just started to get back into Warhammer and was looking to start building my first army, Recruit Edition is in the Post so i can learn the basics. But, I didnt really have a goal to work towards, and was feeling a little lost, now i certainly have one. I really like this 1000pt army and I worked out if you buy Recruit + Command editions and the Dark Angels Combat Patrol you get nearly everything here, but without Tor Garadon (Captain and Chaplain instead) and an extra squad of assault intercessors instead of a larger regular. Just need to add the Eliminators and Gladiator, which can be a Reaper. It comes to about £50 more with a discount but I also get over 500pts worth of Necrons, a squad of Outriders and a Lieutenant for that additional Fifty quid! Amazing guide I have some direction now!

    So far when starting an army, I always started by buying a Combat Patrol box and then adding some models to it untill I get around 1000 points. This most likely does not give me the best troops/best balanced army but I only play at home with friends vs. my own armies so I guess that balances everything out :P

    • @tabletopskirmishgames
      @tabletopskirmishgames  Рік тому

      We've done that with Tau. Gone for the Patrol then my boy picked out cool units he liked. We don't worry about balance either, it's all about fun narrative.

    I really needed to see this. Generally speaking, how do players feel about home brew chapters? I’ve got a killer idea for one and I’d like to use it to compete and also create a story within 40k. Also should I just start with a “normal” chapter of space marines and make my home brew army after that?

      @jeffreysleeper1572 Рік тому +2

    • @tabletopskirmishgames
      @tabletopskirmishgames  Рік тому

      As Jeffrey said, the successor chapters traits will help where rules are concerned then go for your own colours. Home brewing is great fun, and I think other players will like to hear about how you came up with your ideas, and background for them. I would anyway!

    • @tabletopskirmishgames
      @tabletopskirmishgames  Рік тому +1

      100% include a Dreadnought. I would recommend Eliminators with Las Fusil to make the most of Round 1 buffs against vehicles. They are also great in cover with their extra cover buffs shooting against the enemy in cover as they will lose their cover. With the remaining 200 or so points I'd be tempted to add some more Intercessors.

      I like the idea of a 10 man Intercessor Squad for the Imperial Fists when you use the Stratagem that let's them shoot again. In a 1500+ point game I will include that. For 1000- points having the extra squads is helpful for objectives, and you get the Sergeants for each squad as a bonus too.

      The box they brought out for 9th Edition was so cool, I missed it as wasn't;t playing 40k then. I did get the other Dark Imperium box set a couple of months before 9th edition released, and my boy and I just played with it with our own skirmish rules. Thats an awesome set too. You can still get the three marines vs necrons starter sets, but they aren't as good a those others.

    This is quite a bad and expensive advise for a 1000pts army. Let's say Bobby G + Combat patrols of DA and SW + a box of Hellblasters is about 256pounds, without the discount, and its over 1500pts with models that you probably gonna need, but the reivers. So you don't need much more to go for a proper 2000pts army instead.
