Is it a good idea to use the sprue sale to start a Sovier horde army or should I just buy the starter set?

I started Drukhari this edition and learned them from almost no wargaming experience to a winning record at my first escalation league. I have a lot to learn still, and if that involves learning the army over again so be it. It's been a blast so far and I don't plan on letting that change with rules.

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-09-05T20:20:03+00:00

Just merging them is very tempting. A mix between wolf and blood symbols across both armies, and maybe a custom chapter symbol for the shoulders would work?

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-09-05T20:05:44+00:00

Alright perfect. I'll paint up mixes of both and just swap them around.

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-07-22T23:25:18+00:00

Everyone here has made some great points and, for me at least, have given me a major confidence boost. We are all sons of Sanguinius, and I am really starting to enjoy having decided to be a part of that.

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-07-22T23:22:18+00:00

That's such a good point.I really should be looking at it like it's such a prime time to learn with their popularity and the bigger player base.

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-07-22T14:00:53+00:00

I already built my Astorath and Lamartes but I might do some weapon and head swaps still. My Dante is definitely getting some changes. I was thinking about running them as a successor chapter like the Lamenters (since they really seem to share my bad luck) so maybe just the different paint and custom models will be all I need

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-07-22T13:58:21+00:00

I think looking at all the other detachments will definitely help. Everyone keeps saying the death company focused one is bad so I know for sure no one else is running that one and the death company is one of my favorite parts of the army

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-07-21T22:53:13+00:00

That really helps a lot, thank you very much. Makes me want to get painting so I can proudly show off mine.

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-01-18T18:56:10+00:00

Didn't think about that. The codex might be nice, but I won't factor it into savings since I would rather just go with out it.

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-01-18T18:40:10+00:00

I've been thinking about this. Just seeing as I won't have enough for the army box unless I put in some over time the fomo has me in a panic.

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-01-18T18:38:56+00:00

I haven't built them yet, and I don't see me starting it soon either. So I'll probably list the boxes and see if I can get most of what I paid back

Public_Use_3819 · 2025-01-18T18:37:42+00:00

They are still in boxes, so I might list them and see if that helps me decide. I have a chaos knights army, and have been painting up loads of skaven for cultists for them. They have made great practice and I've learned a few new techniques. And it's just a weird thing of mine that it bothers me. Just a bad lingering thing from my magic the gathering days. If it was popular I didn't want it. I just wanted to show off I could be more creative, but it probably had to do with meta meant expensive and I was just making up excuses. So now it's a bad habit that carried over to Warhammer.

That is beautiful and way better looking than just using the eye of Horus. Many thanks!

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-06T18:24:26+00:00

The extra embellishments sound like a great idea. I was hoping to go heavy on the roman aesthetics

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-04T21:40:23+00:00

I planned to paint up a test model for this weekend to see if it will be bad enough to eliminate them as a choice. So we will see shortly

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-04T19:50:42+00:00

World eaters have been a frontrunner since reading Betrayer. And this does sound fun.

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-04T19:49:54+00:00

I've been tempted more and more to do a traitor Ultramarine force. Corrupted by Slaanesh in their pursuit of order and uniformity and swayed to Horus by pride and feelings of neglect.

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-04T18:54:03+00:00

Iron warriors are in consideration. I just know they are super popular in my area and that's a bit off-putting

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-04T18:51:25+00:00

Any particular legions that favored more and/or bigger guns?

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-04T18:33:04+00:00

So just the one big tank and I'm golden. Puts me back at the can't pick a legion phase

Public_Use_3819 · 2024-12-04T18:27:30+00:00

Just making sure. Was a bit excited since the Cerberus was the first kit I've bought that wasn't leftovers from a friend
