[TheRex9001]

Where are the 40 thousand warhammers? Who is James Workshop? What happened to sanginius? Why is Horus infront of me? All this and more on tonights thread

[conrad]

Do I play the Wargame? Nope
Do I play the vydia? Sometimes.

Am I a silicon main? Yes. Hence why I fucking LOVE the skitari and necron aesthetic.

Robots are cool.

Man I love the necrons........Most likely my favorite sci fi faction of all time

It's cool. I want to paint minis because it looks fun but I don't really want to play the tabletop all that much. It's so prohibitively expensive to get into though, I wanted to buy a few books that interested me and they're out of print without a digital version with the only way to read them being 60 dollar audio books.

Yeah it kinda sucks, I can really recommend some of the inprint books like infinate and the divine. Most hobby stores have a copy (at least in my country)

[warbluke]

I don't play the game but I do buy cheap kits on Ebay and kitbash them into horrific abombinations. It's great fun really.

I have a decent admech army, nid army, knight and some misc space marine things
40k is real good fun
I reccomend adeptus ridic if you want to get into the lore, its a good podcast for total beginners because its 1 knowledgable person talking to a newbie about a lore topic

Adeptus ridiculus and just brickys own channel both have some really good videos. GW also has a really good recent one

For lore, I like Luetin09, he has this amazing speaking voice and he really gets you interested. I also suggest PancreasNoWork for shorter comedic videos on tabletop army overviews.

Im trying to get myself to buy an army, but it costs so fucking much... But I regularly play RPGs from that universe, and I generally love the setting, with its many problems.

For starting an army, I recommend splitting a box with a friend or buying some stuff on ebay. And dont rush it, armies are built over long ass periods of time and though it is very like stupid expensive if you enjoy painting/building it might be worth it

[Timonk]

i will nuke foreign nations (i am rats from warhammer 40k)

It's way too expensive for me to ever consider actually playing. I decided to get into it by just reading the Horus Heresy one day but it seems like there's nowhere else to go from there if I have nothing to do with the tabletop game.

Also, if anyone here is wanting to read the Horus Heresy series, skip Nemesis. It is my civic duty to inform you that you nothing of value is gained by reading it. The only good part is the subplot and I'm not sure that alone is enough to make it worth it. As far as you are concerned it just goes from #13 to #15.

[dirk_mcblade]

3d printers, people.

I can really recommend some of the other book series like: Ciaphas Cain, Nightlords omnibus and the twice dead king. Especially the nightlords series, its really fucking good

It's easier to get into if you buy a starter set with friends to get into at the same time. Then just build your army over time instead of looking for games with people that already have a 2k army. Or just play it on table top sim.

I can recommend playing on table top sim if you just wanna play 40k for the table top, personally I really like painting/basing minis but others dont and thats fine

3d printers, people.

See my concern is it may actually be cheaper to just do it as intended and buy the models rather than buy and setup a 3d printer.

If you bother setting up a printer you'll probably be incentivized (apparently this isn't a real word?) to make more than one army. I guess the question is how much does the filament cost? Seems hard to believe when a dreadnought costs $100.

[dirk_mcblade]

This for example is like $350 so it probably pays for itself after one or two armies. But I don't know what the resin costs are.
I'm so ignorant about printing that I forgot they moved on from extruding filaments to using resin and lamps for the higher end stuff.

[TheRex9001]

3D printing a warhammer army would mean using a resin printer (Uv is too expensive if you are doing bulk and large) and its still very expensive. It also has the downside of taking a lot of time and using a resin printer also means you have to deal with the fumes from one. Also if you ever decide you really love 40k you cant play in most tournaments since your models are not offical, unless your store is pretty nice.

[dirk_mcblade]

What if you just want to paint and display figurines though

[TheRex9001]

I would say go for it if you have a 3d printer, otherwise I would just buy models even if its more expensive over time. 3D printers that produce good miniatures that are fun to paint are pretty expensive.

What about the official games workshop paint. Do they sell $50 brushes too?

[Not-Dorsidarf]

Games Workshop brushes aren't anything special in terms of quality but theyre about the only product they sell that isn't pricegougey, probbably because people have a better idea of the value of a brush.

Games workshop citadel paint is good, but expensive. I dont recommend their brushes like at all since most other (Vallejo, army painter etc.) Sell better and cheaper brushes
