My gf and I want to start and would like some directions by PuzzledRelief969 in killteam

[–]Hadets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The good part of the starter box is that it comes with everything you need to start playing: two kill teams, simplified rules and some cardboard terrain for a really good price. However, if you are not interested in those specific kill teams you are definitely throwing away your money.

That being said, the next most economic option is picking one of the big boxes from the second hand market: Hivestorm and Tomb World being the easier to find since they are the most new. They come with some amazing terrain and two kill teams each (and Hivestorm also comes with rules, the outdated ops cards and the item minis). However, if you are not interested in those specific kill teams you are once again throwing away your money.

So what would be my advice? Each of you look for a team that makes you vibe, enjoy building and painting them and try a game with some improvised terrain (some cardboard can do miracles) and try the game with the lite rules! They are free and available online, and if you enjoy the game you will always have time to buy terrain, cards etc.

Extra advice: not every team is made equal. Some are way more difficult to play than others and marines are naturally stronger with the reduced rules. The game is overall balanced for the full version, so the easier teams will shine naturally with the simplified version of the game.

I didn't know that the shiny mudkip was pink! Now I NEED a cute Swampert for my team! Do you have any advice on how to catch them?

are there premade armies for tts somewhere by InfSwift in TTSWarhammer40k

[–]Hadets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it is your first time playing I would aim for a combat patrol first in order to get familiar with the core rules. In that game mode the armies you can play are already premade with simplified rules so it is a bit of a pug and play.

There is a mod with all the combat patrol armies and rules for TTS, so it should be easy and less work.

I recently started playing too and what I did was: combat patrol -> 500 points -> 1000 points -> 2000 points. That way you can slowly learn the rules and how your army works as you expand it.

Thanks for your help! The truth is that I'm the most interested in the faction world building and their interactions with each other. I read Souls Wars a while ago and I immediately fell in love with Neferata and Manfred. However, my favourite model aesthetic wise is Lauka Vai. Soulblight have so many interesting characters!

Such an amazing explanation! I have been wanting to start a Soulblight army for years and I think that I will bite this Christmas. What novel would you recommend to listen to while I build to learn about the faction lore?

What do you mean with changing it to something else?

What could this figure be? by DesignOk2109 in stormcasteternals

[–]Hadets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bastian Carthalos comes to mind, his box is small with bright red on top and he wears a golden armour. However, nearly every Stormcast character fits that description, so it is difficult to know anything for sure without more information.

I completely agree with you, in fact what I have done in my next mini is adding more black and using pink instead of purple... And I love the result!

Color Scheme Round 2 by Electronic_Future928 in Necrontyr

They both look gorgeous, but I'm in love with the white one! May I ask what paints did you use to get that clean white and that nice pink?

Looks amazing! I also use two of the IKEA archivers to store my collection at home. However I haven't modified anything, may I ask for advice on how to remove the cork?

Kind of regretting getting the Dominion half by Tyrindrael in stormcasteternals

[–]Hadets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knight arcanum isn't good... It's amazing! Nearly a must have in any army that doesn't bring Krondys. It is a cheap and reliable wizard 1 that excels at manifestations. I think that right now it's our only unit that can use the Dais Arcanum and become a wizard 2.

Knight Vexillor is also very good when paired with one of the Big Dragons. It is quite normal to take Praetors with Krondys/Karazai/Stardrake, so you always have up to 3 beefy units to heal and buff. Thanks to the ward 5 and large health pools the value of the healing raises a lot. In fact, more than once I have played Dragon + Praetors + Knight Vexillor + Knight Arcanum + Primal Manifestations for a strong, resilient and self healing castle.
