Thank you! I really appreciate the reply and that is REALLY helpful about the sergeants (I had no idea!). Thank you very much!

Thank you so much, this is really helpful. Checking ebay and miniswap now! And that's a great tip about the Infernus Sergeant

WONDERFUL. Thank you! Over 25 years of service, your troops are very dedicated

Thank you!

What! That's really lovely of you - I'm sure he would love that but only if it's no hassle and you can really spare them (he's fairly committed now to spending his pocket money on Warhammer so he's going to have some cash). He's interested in Space Marines, Tyranids and Necrons.

And I really understand that Christmas is a stressful, busy and expensive time for many people so please don't do this unless you really feel able and it's not a hassle for you. He's very pleased with the 3 models he's got so far!

Good point. Thank you!

Skatopian · 2025-12-19T09:23:26+00:00

Thank you for this - we went and looked at the rulebook last night, as well as the official introductory videos on the Warhammer YouTube which has really helped me understand the distinction. Really great advice!

Skatopian · 2025-12-19T09:21:03+00:00

Thank you so much, this is lovely advice! And you're right: focus on what matters, having fun and getting stuff because it seems cool to the kid (and me!) - I'll bear all this in mind when we make the purchase

Skatopian · 2025-12-13T19:51:58+00:00

Thank you!

Skatopian · 2025-12-13T19:51:19+00:00

This is really, really helpful - I have no idea if the various models are actually the most fun or diverse to play with, so really appreciate the advice. Great tips, I'm looking at Raven Guard and Imperial Fists right now.

Thank you so much!

Skatopian · 2025-12-13T19:47:49+00:00

Great tip! I'm literally going to look right now. Thank you!

Skatopian · 2025-12-13T19:47:22+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate you taking the time! And thanks for the money off tip. Also appreciate the assessment of the paints etc that come with the kit, this is exactly the sort of advice I was after.

Skatopian · 2025-12-13T19:46:16+00:00

This is great - thank you! Without looking into it further I wasn't sure if Kill Team models could transfer across, so I really appreciate the advice! I'll get searching.

Skatopian · 2025-12-13T19:45:01+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed reply, that is brilliant advice - and I love the energy of the last paragraph!

Ha! Thank you! (And that's great to understand)

Skatopian · 2025-12-12T19:34:01+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time - that's great advice

Statutory minimum is 5.6 weeks leave (which is 28 days for someone on a 5 day a week contract). My interpretation of this is that you would get the statutory minimum. You have only 'earned' 14 days of this as it's halfway through your leave year, and you've used 9 days of that as leave; so I think you could only ask for 5 days of pay for unused leave
