I asked a few months ago on advice on getting started with warhammer. Played my first game last night. Got most of my figurines on eBay and made the terrain out junk.
If you find yourself on :reddit-logo:, head to Sigmarxism. It’s one of the few good things still there. Also, there are some great recast sites out there for a fraction of the price of legit new.
I haven’t played since I was a teenager without bills, but I like to think about it still.
I’m thinking about just getting a unit every two months or so. Like like 30 bucks a month investment. Buying a 2k army all at once is way too much for me.
looks dope 👍
Pics of your miniature paint jobs?
I haven’t actually gotten around to painting yet. My wife is going to get me paint stuff for my anniversary present. Some of them are painted because they came that way off of eBay.
I feel you, I “haven’t actually gotten around to painting” my Sisters army for about ten years.
Congratulations!
Did you have fun?
We did yeah. My opponent played the space marine start collecting box and missed a bunch of his abilities, and I accidentally gave my bloat drone a heavy blight launcher and a fleshmower so he got totally wrecked, but we started to get a better feel for the rules. Excited to try again.
Looks very nice. Great job on the terrain. Did you have fun?
I had a huge amount of fun. Building the terrain was half the fun honestly. I want to do an ork themed warzone with more trees next.
Hmmm, so Warhammer 40k is like a toy set. I always thought it was a computer game.
It’s a long-running tabletop war game. It’s played using a person’s collection of miniatures. Basically, you know how D&D can be played with miniatures, usually to enhance the experience and to add a visual element to help the players know what’s going on? It’s like that, except the entire game is played with those miniatures, and it revolves entirely around battles instead of roleplaying.
There have been many video game adaptations of various genres throughout the years, but the main thing is the tabletop game.
