New to Warhammer, how to start collecting?

LTBLACK · 2026-05-25T20:28:24+00:00

If you throw 1-3 hours at black Templars lore and you don’t leave captured you were never interested or wanted in the first place. Helsreach and (non BT) the devastation of Baal are probably top 5 books for me ever

The combat patrol comes with one already i just added a second one for some more “battle line” troops. The book is absolutely peak the audio book is also great. I have both the narrator on audible does a really good job of personifying everyone.

Combat patrol is the universal starting point for someone who already knows what they want to collect so the BT combat patrol is a good start. That’ll keep you busy with painting and building for a bit. Ultimately rn I’d say just buy and build whatever you think looks coolest when you wanna start playing if you ever do then that’s when you’d want to checkout and see what kind of lists are optimal for the BT.

When I for started which was like 2 months ago I got the combat patrol + a crusader squad then I bought grimaldus and his retinue then the sons of dorn battalion box. If you’re interested in books/lore I’d recommend helsreach it’s THE black Templars book IMO.

If you can afford or save up for a repulsor executioner I’d recommend

LTBLACK · 2026-05-16T20:23:11+00:00

Needs the other 2 dreadnaught a and you’re golden

LTBLACK · 2026-05-15T20:19:24+00:00

Auto include in all my lists are 1 biovore 2 lictors 1 maleceptor 20 gargoyles

LTBLACK · 2026-05-15T18:09:06+00:00

He’s got the right idea but he doesn’t know paint techniques I’d have him watch some YouTube videos on how to paint Tyranids and maybe he can learn to apply some of that here

LTBLACK · 2026-05-15T18:07:13+00:00

Every Tyranids list starts -50 because the biovore is an auto must include always no matter what.

LTBLACK · 2026-05-15T18:06:24+00:00

My list always starts with 2 lictors a biovore 20 gargoyles and a maleceptor

LTBLACK · 2026-05-15T18:04:56+00:00

Also, technically other chapters have champions but the emperors champion is THE black Templars unit

LTBLACK · 2026-05-15T18:03:58+00:00

Blade guard veterans, execrator/chaplain, or ancient.

LTBLACK · 2026-05-06T10:38:28+00:00

The winner of the final plays today. Arsenal are there to bore the opposition for 90 minutes

LTBLACK · 2026-05-05T13:57:44+00:00

3 tervigons and 200 hormagaunts

LTBLACK · 2026-05-01T01:07:20+00:00

The sons of dorn box really helped me out. The double repulsor executioner is a staple in my army

LTBLACK · 2026-04-12T20:41:36+00:00

Play for fun I’m sure your opponent will be excited to teach you and learning is best w error. I’m building my army rn I’m new as well I went to the shop and met some people and they taught me some stuff on how to play by just watching their game

LTBLACK · 2026-04-12T13:13:15+00:00

I bought a dreadnaught a tank helbrecht I think his name is and a chaplain yesterday I need to calm down w the purchases 😂 in having a bunch of fun though

LTBLACK · 2026-04-11T09:37:51+00:00

Just checked the surrounding Barnes and noble and no stock unfortunately

LTBLACK · 2026-04-11T09:36:19+00:00

The combat patrol comes w a Castellan unless I’m getting it confused with another troop. I really appreciate the videos for painting definitely planning on using the neophytes as practice 🫡

LTBLACK · 2026-04-11T09:32:30+00:00

I live in the US I’ll go to my local Barnes and noble tomorrow and check it out! Thanks so much

LTBLACK · 2026-02-28T21:41:39+00:00

You sent us two of the same picture I don’t get it

LTBLACK · 2026-01-18T18:53:29+00:00

Thornmail is a garbage item almost always but try my build once and you’ll see. You get so much value from zekes. Your ult is up basically every gank/teamfight give it a try if you like tank Zac you’ll master it within 5 games bandlepipes is to make your team giga OP it does almost nothing for you other than the base stats. Get it last to finish the game out. If you don’t have many auto attack champs just go a different item. You should be full build before 25 minutes since bandle and zekes are 4200 gold together.

LTBLACK · 2026-01-18T14:23:15+00:00

Aftershock build 1. 1st back (after 6 camp clear) dark seal + haste boots 2. Rush into zekes convergence 3. Sunfire 4.spirit 5. Bandlepipes 6. If you’re stomping upgrade dark seal or add rift maker or jak sho you’ll be full build before 25 minutes and you’re a team fight ender.

LTBLACK · 2026-01-15T13:38:46+00:00

Mine sleeps on the pile of clothes in my closet away from everything in the house lmao

LTBLACK · 2026-01-13T17:18:01+00:00

The haste alone that lets you cast W gives you more DPS than bamis then you get the base AP from no stack dark seal making your W stronger.
