From what I observed, the best way to get into the Warhammer games in a way that doesn't lead to financial destitution is probably through the small unit, skirmish-based offshots of Kill Team (40K) and Warcry (Age of Sigmar).

Yes just build up little by little. You don't need a 2500 point army off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Yeah, I know about Kill Team and War Cry... I just worry that jumping on either would push me past the event horizon. I have enough Legion and Crisis Protocol minis that are unpainted and I barely play them now what with the world being on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows. Other mini games that have been popular recently (Legion, Crisis Protocol) don’t come close to fucking with Games Workshop so they can do whatever the market will bear.

I live in this world. I used to really enjoy making the models when I was 10-11 and used to play against a few of my friends, though never in much depth. I could fully get into the game as I do like strategy and I feel like I'd enjoy tabletop gaming (though I haven't really got into that side of things) but I lack the time to invest in it properly. Really, I just need a video game version, or something as close to, that I can enjoy. Hell, if anyone can recommend something for me that's available on PS4, I'll give it a go.

Kal-El814 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think I’m mainly interested in how 9th ed approaches smaller point value armies. I have too much shit to paint to get into a 2000 point thing on the regular and I dunno if I wanna jump into Kill Team now if 9th ed makes smaller skirmishes viable. We’ll see!

Kal-El814 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Looking good so far. Not a starter set, so as someone with no skin in the game I’d need some extra kit. Waiting on price and date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at $250, the box contents would be a good value on the GW scale... but I suspect they’d get fewer people like me (not new to mini gaming / painting, but no investment in GW plastic) to bite. Hard to tell from their press if I’m actually the target for this box specifically even if it seems like I’m someone they’re targeting with 9th edition generally. It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out and is received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW had made it pretty clear that this is NOT a "starter" box targeted at new players to the hobby, but rather existing players who want to hit the ground running with the "New Edition" or at the very least, those who are familiar with the hobby but not necessarily their products.

Yeah, without some of the kit you need, that seems pretty clear. Throwing Ultramarines in that box is an interesting choice though since they’re well represented already. I’m on a list with a local game shop to get this, though I dunno how likely it is they’ll be able to fulfill all their preorders. If it’s more than $225 I’ll likely punt.

Just ordered a solar auxilia bundle and the rule books for 30k Mechanicum and Solar Aux. 606 dollars gone in an instant. Technically a better buy then the xenoblade chronicles 2 pvcs I was eyeing. Though I still want those. Guess I better get to selling at work. Solar Auxilia first then I am going into Mechanicum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
