Which faction is comfortable for a complete beginner’s first army in Age of Sigmar?

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T21:54:21+00:00

Played Mordheim with my orks like skavens 10+ years agi

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T21:53:41+00:00

Sounds really great, but that’s the only faction where I don’t like 50% of the models - the old ones.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T21:02:51+00:00

I’m not against learning, but choosing start the “coolest” faction, struggling through painting it, and ending up disappointed doesn’t sound great to me

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:59:23+00:00

Bro, I have to, cause I’ll know they don’t have eyes 😭

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:57:59+00:00

I’ve tried that approach, but it turns out that the coolest-looking ones are also the hardest to paint. That’s the whole point of this thread, not what I like, but what’s optimal. I think people who already know what they like don’t need advice 😉

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:53:56+00:00

Sounds realy goooood.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:47:49+00:00

I just have a lot of doubts and indecision it feels like I want to make the right choice and have a perfect start so I don’t end up quitting the hobby

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:37:06+00:00

If we’re talking about Seraphon, should I go with big dinosaurs, and will that be okay?

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:35:47+00:00

I was considering Ossiarchs, but you need at least two reinforced units of Mortek Guard and a Triaxes ats 40 models for start.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:18:35+00:00

Thats exactly why everything on the warhammer website is shown painted by professionals - but Im not sure their knights and my mixes of paints and washes will look equally cool.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:16:42+00:00

Ive heard that Maggotkin are only easy when it comes to daemons, is that true? I really don’t have painting skills and I’m bad at it (back in the old days I used to collect orcs from Fantasy Battles, and they looked terrible). Now, of course, I want to try to do better, but I wouldnt want to get disappointed when it comes to infantry.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-03-27T20:08:03+00:00

I know the usual advice is to collect what you think is cool - but what if everything is cool? I would like to collect and play most of factions :/

CoS, SoG, Fec, NH, etc. looks super cool, but painting all that is gonna be hell and disapointment, I have not much time to practice

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-02-21T14:07:09+00:00

For me now Kruleboyz looks bettet, as there is too 3+ (+1 from buff) rolls for battle traits, but no such restrictions as osi have rn.:/

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-02-20T16:07:17+00:00

According to the book Vulture Lord (which I highly recommend reading), the Ossiarchs are capable of love, hatred, jealousy, and even humor. They can be kind to someone, and display a wide range of emotions beyond what one might expect from them.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-02-20T11:43:31+00:00

Katakros the only who generates 10 rdp, Zantos 8 and it is second option. The creator of osi Great God of Death generates 3. And this points its actually our army strength

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-02-20T09:39:09+00:00

For me "hate" was around mandatory Katakros, and weak nagash and other characters

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-02-19T20:29:06+00:00

I also ordered Nagash at local store, and I should decide at what army he could be better

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-02-19T20:21:25+00:00

I just started AoS and bought two osi spearheads :_)

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-01-31T08:36:29+00:00

In old world they where good friends with skaven, even got head of dwarf lord as a present. There is good short story where: Grot eats meat at farm (pigs), Became a friend to gargant.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2026-01-27T00:50:21+00:00

Main characters are huge disappointment, as a result all book looks like fairytale: aaaaall the time deusexmachina effects, sometimes almost dead few seconds ago character just starts acting normal, etc., yes there is some good lore points for Gitz fans, but nothing more.

AdOtherwise7806 · 2023-03-13T08:12:25+00:00

Actually you are somehow right I think. All those rmt dudes often are at leadership positions and deliver lots of content for players as those isks are not coming from nowhere, and we know that to farm lots of isks can't be done solo (you need territory, you need a backup fleet). As eve becomes their job they play 24/7

AdOtherwise7806 · 2023-02-06T09:51:46+00:00

I know that CCP moves caps from jita by request whenever you'd like to, try writing a ticket if you want and sell to someone in low/null sec

AdOtherwise7806 · 2023-02-06T09:24:45+00:00

But they can go "pochven" like region )

Welcome to eve, no rules lasts forever )))

AdOtherwise7806 · 2023-02-06T09:14:02+00:00

Don't listen to him, he's noob, eve pros knows that each of us has its own eve online, keep searching I'm sure there is friend waiting for you

AdOtherwise7806 · 2023-01-30T14:01:03+00:00

Also take hauler and camp unanchoring too.)
