How much you need to spend to get a whole army?
I heard it is very expensive from your bro.

Expect to spend about RM1.5k on a decent starter army That's the number that Wolf (from Wolf's game shop) gave to me as of the current prices.

Thanks but I am not a tabletop gamer to be honest(but I enjoy building kits), as I started to play DOW 3 years ago, and recently the dark crusade. Space Marine is always a jump start for noobs like me. Now I am training with Imperial Guard but no that frequent, can only practice with friends at CC 2 or 3 times XD.

I like Imperial Guard, due to their more human characters and yes, all their heavy weapons.

oops, I derail the thread from tabletop to PC XD.

Imperial guard arent that expensive..same boxes price but consist more units thats all

I guess its all pretty even depending on how many points you want your starter army to be. The amount you spend is roughly the same with exception to necrons, if you're fielding an army of warriors. the only problem with guard or other low pts/model armies is the amount of painting time. Otherwise its all good.

Actually..... for starters... 500 point army to get you started would cost like RM 1000 plus paint for IG... I was suppose to be a collector for GW and Forge world tanks.. but got poisoned into playing anyways.... I think RM1000 is the normal price to start any average army, except space marine whom are mainly plastic models. that makes them cheaper...

And if anyone is tired of Warhammer, might I introduce you to

WARMACHINE

http://privateerpress.com

Fewer models involved. Everything is metal. Very satisfying combos. Lovely fluff!

yeah warmachine is awesome! have a few figure that i bought from AU and NZ. btw, warhammer is cool too.

but all these miniature are damm expensive...

=) ah! yes warmachine's model are nice but the gameplay still lacks compare to GWs. Same goes with confrontation. GW kinda TM everything so that they monopolize the miniature tabletop game. The ncie aprt about Warmachine and confrontation is the small scale but the nice thing about W40k is large scale haha

for me i don't play the game so it's ok. i just buy the figure and paint them. so my army is rojak. lol

I got the first page updated with pictures and details

so newcomers can find them at ease

Is Games Circle still open?

u can start off with rm200 but needed ard rm1800 to start an army

Just wondering whether is it noob friendly? I mean like is it hard to assemble and pain the figurines?

its not hard to assemble the figures neither to paint them.

the hard part is to assemble them and paint them nicely, smoothly and detailed. thats the only hard part.

as for starters u can enjoy assembling and have a noob painting skills and u will do fine

William, where can I get the miniature besides from Comic mart?? And.. how big are the miniature? I've never seen one before in my life.. except for pictures.
