Nowadays lots of Warhammer shops specializing in providing free tables to play on. Solaris has the official Warhammer shop with the widest range.

Christmas 2024 box for Tau is fantastic value. Two boxes is enough for a pew pew army. Not much painting to be done because all huge models with large points costs.

Also, Tau is mono color army so very easy to paint.

Have Battle Sisters but the army is quite expensive since miracle dice ability requires sacrificing units to gain them.

Firstborns are obsolete. Already moved to legends. I used to have a firstborn ultramarines army in pewter and lead.

Now all primaris models.

Depending on which fraction. Easiest are mono colored armies like Tau, Necrons or Ultramarines. Hardest would be colorful stuff like Chaos Daemons and Orks.

Blood Angels prefer bloodshed and collecting skulls..

When you want to play? 2000 points Nexus game. Your shooty army vs my melee army should be interesting.

You need to check your base size if your models are too old. They have changed the base sizes when they switched over to 9e. Now it’s 10e. Sandakan Hobby Shop on Shopee sells original GW bases in bulk.

That’s a lot of firepower on your Tau suits

Space Dwarves aka Leagues of Votann is a fun army but it’s not fully fleshed out yet due to it being a new army.

Thousand sons are okay. A bit too shooty for my liking. I prefer melee focused armies as there is nothing more satisfying than destroying a tank with punches and chainsaws..

They are the loyalist World Eaters.

You see their special army ability also know that they are secret worshippers of Khorne..

A bunch of Warhammer specialty shops. You can join me and my friends who play regularly. Just PM me your messenger name and we can add you into the group.

Combat patrols for the fractions is a great starting point and gives you a general feel for the fraction. Very minimal cost investment and it’s a complete army out of the box. If you like it and want to continue, then look for the Christmas boxed set or similar discount boxes for your army.

Each combat patrol is around 500 points while battleforce or boxes sets range from 600-1000 points on average.

There are 3 standard points games that are official

500 points
1000 points
2000 points.


People would build 500 pts first then move on to 1000 and 2000 later on.

High level competitive plays like the Las Vegas open and others uses the 2000 points format.

Space Orks competitive list consist of melee units mostly. The shoota boyz can’t shoot for peanuts.

Tyrannids are basically a swarm army. Be prepared to paint and field 120 models in a 2000 points game. Their special army anbolity overloads on battleshock which is devastating to low morale armies.

Necrons are basically the second most shooty army after Tau Empire. Their army special ability is “reanimation protocol” where each damaged units will regenerate D3 models or health. They are the terminators of the Warhammer world. Slow but virtually indestructible.

Warhammer models and units go on points system.

Each player will agree on the points before hand to build your army.

Let’s say 1000 points.

So both players cannot exceed 1000 points for their units costs combined.

So, for example, Mephiston costs 120 points. So if I field him as my warlord, I have 880 points left to bring in other units.

The more powerful a unit or character or tank or aircraft or hero is, the more points it costs.

So if you bring in all the big stuff, your army will be very few models. Quality over quantity.

A combat patrol box set will provide you with 500 points army to play with to get a feel of the army.

Combat patrol cheapest entry point

Per box is RM620 or cheaper if you can find boxes online.

Everything you need to play 500 points game is inside. Plus free rules and data cards for the units in the box.

Paints, go for the 13 pots set for RM120 or so, comes with a brush, 13 paints, clippers and file. Don’t be like me and invest in different size brushes and multiple pots and stuff. Just keep it simple first.

And there you have it, ready to play your first game of combat patrol.

I know the lore. You must be new to W40K if you are not familiar with the insider joke among Blood Angels players that BA are secret Khorne worshippers.

You never played the tabletop is it?

Dark Angels half of them turned traitors..

Yes la. Blood angels play like World Eaters.

Just charge and charge. And we are the only space marines chapter that use Eviscerators a lot besides World Eaters. Our jump pack guys pack Eviscerators in death company 😂😂

Actually it’s the other way around.

Fabius Bile stole Sanguinius Essence from Blood Angels and also some primaris geneseeds..

So we might see red thirst and black rage World Eaters soon in the new codex next year 🤪🤪

Uhhh… I thought they don’t exist …
