I'll add them to the queue!

Thanks! I'll look into him.

Thank you!!

Now I need to read the rules properly so I can make it to 2k.

Then again I have a billion mids to paint so I have time.

Really?! Thank you :)

What came in the WarHammer Paints+Tools Set that paired with the "Starter Set" for Mids and Space Marines. The GW shop keep recommended it to me 😅

Holy cow those look sweet!

Can't wait to start collecting Necrons. Definitely saving this idea.

Thanks for putting that into context! I'm getting my Necrons tonight!!

Cheers, thank you :)

I'm trying to soak up as much as I can. I just want to avoid buidling an army and discover it's not a match for my playstyle after many games learning the ins-and-outs of it while seeing other factions perform. Then again, study can only do so much.

Understood. Also in my research everyone who commented on the Space Marines noted them being "very diverse" in builds. Does that diversity aid the army builder's expressiveness or is the faction similar to Mario in Smash, or the London Open in chess, where it's well rounded but expected?

Pardon my questions, I'm just learning 🙂

It would recommend buying models with rules or painting challenges that interest you first

Interesting! I never came across a 'painting challenge' yet. Is that a product or a concept shared through the community?

When it comes to rotation like in Magic, you can argue that GW does do this, but it is on a much much longer time scale and much smaller of an amount of units. They won’t release a model and rules for it and then sunset in 3-4 years. It usually stays in the game for a long time, and the rules for it will be adjusted over time.

That's a relief! Might pick up some 9th edition Patrol boxes then!!

what may be viable or competitive.

If necrons are good that's news to me! From what I understood between the rules and videos I've been consuming the theme of their playstyle and lore is perfect for me. I always play Necromancer classes in every game if there is a option of doing it. Heck, my first big D&D set-piece was a city built around Necromancers doing menial labor through their undead for the city (for the slight cost of consuming the inhabitant after they were dead.)

Also, thank you for your response!

Wow thanks! So to help me, conceptually, take the Necron Warriors units. Say if I were to pick up ten or so — would they pretty much exist between editions over time right?

I stopped by two local games shops in my area and neither had any Necron units. (Man, if I were interested in the Space Marines would I be set) There is a local GamesWorkshop store in my area and both stores recommended me visit there to answer questions. One shop owner looked at the Introductory Box in my hands after I couldn't find my Necrons and told me to put it back on the shelf. "This game is a pretty big investment I don't want you to get off on the wrong foot."

Not trying to ruffle feathers, but why were there so many unpurchased Space Marines boxes? Do players not like them in lore or in playstyle?

For sure. If this phone were to come out I'd immediately regret getting the base 15.

Just want USB-C and iOS, dog.
