My buddy’s Warhammer table is batshit insane
So we played a game on it last night
Here’s his army. I allied with him- he plays space wolves, I played Salamanders
Here’s my guys!
Here’s the bad guys. The sons of Horus and a militia army
My firedrake terminators ended up winning the day for us- we needed to kill the opposing warlord and they took him out on the last turn.
There was a pretty epic battle on this bridge.
Militia. My friend has been working on them forever and they look amazing.
Sons of Horus jetbikes!
Battle for the bridge. Seriously epic game.

Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war!
RuthlessRuben
What I think is most impressive about the Militia is how your friend managed to make that crackle paint work on the bases.

You worship a deadman upon a golden shitter. All in all the armies and the table look great.
ForgeoftheWordsmith
Incredible.

I was looking to get into the table top scene, is 40k the way to go or Age of Sigmar for a new comer?
silfarion
You can do either. I don’t know much about AoS but 40k has Killteam which is a much cheaper way to get into the tabletop scene
PapaNurgleLovesYou
Kinda like Heroscape™

An update from another salamander! Wish I could give you more than 1

Yeah Salamanders!

Standard rules with just cooler minis? Also the militia dudes look awesome ... so much forgeworld stuff though $$$$
AnDanDan
Vulkan lives!
Heljaeger
Oooooo don't see much 30k on here. This is nice, as are the effects!
CoqRoq
I dont play, but that looks amazing. Glad you guys had a great time.
TatersWhatsTatersPrecious
I have no idea how you play this but it looks hella cool
whatwhatwhonow
Short answer: you pay a $2000 to throw dice to see how good you mash your guys into the other guy's guys.
TheAvengingKnee
It is a pretty fun game with some amazing models. not the cheapest hobby though. If you ware wanting to learn look into kill team.
MFDork
yes, Kill Team is great, like a fast playing real world X-Com
CrazyCatLad
Step 1: Log on to Steam. Step 2: Buy Dawn of War 1 + expansions. Step 3: Have out of this world fun. (Cheaper route)
thepathweweave
How does one do Warhammer? Serious question, waiting for and epic response.
silfarion
You can watch a battlereport ok YouTube to see what a game is like. My go to is the Miniwargming channel.
BuckeyeBTH
It's a serious investment in both $ and time, you purchase a rulebook for an army &many boxes of plastic figures to assemble and paint. 1/2
BuckeyeBTH
2/2 Actual game play is very similar to D&D - each unit has stats / movement range / weapons stats. Most things are d6 dice roll determined
Biffa90
Another YouTube channel is tabletoptactics they explain most stuff as they play too
H3xfly
The photoshop after effects seriously turn this up a notch. This is wild.
PleaseDontAskAboutMyUsername
Thought it was AR. I am so confuse.
H3xfly
If that's what it is, then that's even better
PleaseDontAskAboutMyUsername
I swear that’s what it is
tallkidwithglasses
It’s an iPhone app called lensFX, basically photoshop with a library of explosions and lens flares and stuff
PleaseDontAskAboutMyUsername
Ahhhhh I see. How do you play the game then?
CorgiGrrrMan
I want to get into warhammer soooo badly, but even just the cost of entry is a bit steep.
thesmelge
They keep releasing narrative boxsets with 2 playable armies generally at around half the price of the contents. Good starting points.
LatexAndLesbians
Play Kill team. 8th Edition is a fantastic time to get into the game, and Kill Team is cheap and fun.
Gochira
Lots of ways to get cheap models, and a few older box sets can get you rolling pretty cheap. If you aren't picky hit up Craigslist or ebay
ivdreg
There’s also a ton of other minis games out there that are much easier on the wallet.
IDontActuallyHaveUsername
As other have said: Pick an army whose looks your like. Buy single box of "Troops" and you're good to go. Killteam missions use 3-20 models
IDontActuallyHaveUsername
That said the single box of troops will never be the top choice and expansions unlock more and more models but its a awesome starting point
devildog272
Shit I’ll sell you my old imperial guard army for less than you’d buy new minis for and mine are all painted.
Badgerlord
Kill team, kill team, kill team. Low cost of entry and a fantastic jumping on point. Whole game is just a handful of models.
CorgiGrrrMan
Super late reply, but I'm so glad you mentioned this! I'm gonna do some research!
ilikefoodmorethanpeople
I played when younger. wanted to get back in to it. don't have an army anymore. asked around at the local club and got someone to loan me..
ilikefoodmorethanpeople
...theirs in exchange for beers and/or coffee. people generally want more people in their hobbies. ask around where you live.
Ogreman247
Holy Crap! Major cash investment on that table. Well done, well done.

ThomasThundersword
so. i get it, and as someone with 2k invested each in three computers i can't say shit. but you think about what you said. you have 2k>
ThomasThundersword
invested in a bunch of colorful plastics on a table. some people just think that's crazy shit they are wrong. and compared to off the shelf>
ThomasThundersword
2k is actually way less then it could have been (hence your only i know) but man hobbies get expensive if you think about it.
captjackvane
Love that you guys are intense enough to play 30k still.
ThomasThundersword
When you put that much money into minis
KovnikJoe
Worst fucking ruleset I've ever played.
mynameismochi
Oh is it not my little pony's island adventure? Stop bitching and go play your kids game of age of sigmar or some similar shit.
KovnikJoe
Found the butthurt 7e fanboy.
ilikefoodmorethanpeople
never played 30k, can you please elaborate ?
captjackvane
30k still uses a version of 7th Ed rules. It requires a law library worth of rules manuals to get through, but SM vs SM is fun & balanced.
KovnikJoe
Basically refer to table X which refers to table Y which refers to table Z repeat ad infinitum. Many many janky rules.
GarthOneeye
i have never played but I hear people say it is a lot like 7th edition 40k
KovnikJoe
It's based off the 7e rules. Some people say it's an improvement, but it's terrible regardless of that.
