It all started with about 1200s into total war: Warhammer 2, which got me into watching Total war: Warhammer streams, got me to start mixing warhammer lore into my D & D games, then I started playing Vermintide 2 and loved it, to listening to the Gotrek and Felix audio books. It would seem that I haved transformed into a bit of a Warhammer fancomrade. When I was a kid I was always into warhammer minis, but I never had the money to get enough to put together an army and ended up using them mostly as minis for when we switched from AD&D 2nd edition to the more mini focused 3rd edition, but now with my renewed interest in the lore and universe, I have been playing with the idea of getting into it a bit more seriously and putting an actual army together and playing. First, since I am more familiar with the fantasy universe, I was looking into Age of Sigmar, but I just wasn't quite happy with it. One of my favorite factions are Druchii and I wasn't really happy with the options for that. I have been looking now at 40k more and I am starting to settle in on the idea of Chaos Space Marines.
All this history aside, I have a few questions about what is involved in getting into this sport.
-
What all would I need to get started? The rulebook and the relavent codex/ices? One of the starter sets?
-
How many miniatures would I need to be able to play a reasonable battle? If I got the starter set how much would I need to add to that or would that be a reasonable way to start to learn the rules?
-
What are good resources for learning to paint them nicely?
-
Does anyone have any good tips on how to get started on DIY terrain? I think in the country side and was thinking about collecting moss and shit.
-
Any other tips, tricks or pitfalls?
I don't know if anyone in the community even plays this game, but I thought I was throw it out there.
