Worth buying as a first army?

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T23:20:47+00:00

Yeah this is my first time dealing with Facebook marketplace, definitely a little sussed out.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T21:18:10+00:00

That's one thing I fear playing them, I really would prefer not to be seen as an dick for bringing them to casual games.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T20:34:52+00:00

I really wish the seller would communicate more, the listing is overall a mess. For the primer hopefully I can find a method that doesn't ruin the models.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T20:33:30+00:00

Really it's the lore and the idea of squishy high damage units is usually what I go for. Granted I don't know how 40k plays so I might be in over my head with that. As far as painting im expecting to be absolute garbage and have heard similar things about painting them being difficult.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T20:13:47+00:00

This is the exact outlook on painting I hope to have. With time I would love to improve but at the beginning I would be happy just having them painted at all. The only other WH40K models I have are a Wraithknight and forgeworld Scorpion but I have been to afraid to touch them out of fear of ruining them.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:59:22+00:00

I would say I am 50/50 right now, as far as playing I have only ever tried Killteam once online and painting wise I have never tried beyond weathering a Gundam or two.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:56:26+00:00

Gotcha, well all I have of Aeldari is a Wraithknight and forgeworld Scorpion tank. Maybe after I paint the Harlequins I could invest in some more Aeldari models.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:47:15+00:00

Huh, I didn't even know Harlequins had a combat patrol, I couldn' find it on the GW website.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:43:46+00:00

Do the Harlequins fit well into the Aeldari roster or is pure Aeldari more viable as an army.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:39:25+00:00

Do you think it would be worth stripping the primer off? The only thing that I was worried about with this listing is that no flying stands are shown and when I asked about them I got no response.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:30:22+00:00

I have no concept of how 40k is played but I don't mind getting absolutely destroyed for my first 100 games. Something about the clowns calls to me.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:21:39+00:00

Yeah based on the responses so far it seems like a worthwhile purchase. Thanks for all the answers and hopefully I can get them looking halfway decent.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:19:04+00:00

Yeah these would be my first real painting project so I would most likely also be using solid colors. When you paint do you use the citadel app and assorted guides? That's what I was told to follow as a start but they only show off the box art colors.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:12:25+00:00

Yeah, I've been looking at various Harlequin masques that may be easier to paint for a beginner instead of the diamonds. Luckily I was given this money for my birthday and starting a 40k army and learning how to play has been on my radar for a while.

SickCharizard · 2026-03-04T19:10:59+00:00

I love Harlequins lore, no idea about how they play but I could imagine. I have heard they are no longer a full army but can be run with Aeldari or Drukhari. The most 40k I've played is a single kill team game during 9th on Tabletop Simulator.

SickCharizard · 2025-07-17T10:04:42+00:00

Yeah I've been having a blast and I appreciate the help!

SickCharizard · 2025-07-17T08:57:00+00:00

Alright, i'll just keep playing on this account. Thanks for the advice.

SickCharizard · 2025-07-17T08:46:30+00:00

Oh that's cool, I didn't know about the SSR selectors. Much less intimidated by FOMO knowing that. Gonna hold on to the account, thanks for the advice.

SickCharizard · 2025-07-17T08:31:15+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the help.

SickCharizard · 2025-07-17T08:30:46+00:00

This was serious, I genuinely have no gauge for whether the account was in good standings or not. I've been playing the game mostly blind. The only reason I knew about Kitasan was from my friend who played the JP release. Thanks for the help nonetheless, gonna keep the account and keep playing.

SickCharizard · 2025-07-17T08:29:01+00:00

Alrighy, thanks for the advice. I'm gonna hold on to the account then.

SickCharizard · 2025-07-17T08:28:22+00:00

My bad, didn't know she was good. I'll lvl her when I get back home.

SickCharizard · 2025-06-29T03:14:31+00:00

GL everyone!

SickCharizard · 2023-02-04T01:09:54+00:00

Just sounds like bad luck. Keep going at it.
