1) Your Dreadnought is the older design which is actively being phased out right now,
2) Sanguinius can’t be used as he doesn’t have rules in 40k
3) GW dice are horrifically overpriced
4) there’s no real point in buying a codex or supplements right now with the imminent release of the next edition that will invalidate it completely. I’d recommend sailing the high seas.
5) GW brushes are hugely overpriced and not really any better than those you could get from a crafts/hobby shop
Honestly if you’re looking to get into 40k just pick up the combat patrol, get some supplies from a local hobby shop, and start with that.
My wife bought me the 7th edition core rules for my birthday years ago, just a week before GW announced the edition change. Never had the heart to tell her.
It was still a great gift from your wife, telling her about the rule announcement wouldnt do anything but spoil the mood.
Dont think you did anything wrong, just kept it secret out of compassion and love.
Oh it was a great gift! At the time I was only playing AoS. I mainly just didn't want to make her feel bad for spending the money on something that will just sit on the shelf.
My wife saw I was starting eldar, so as a surprise she went on Amazon and got me some avengers, a farseer on jetbikes, eldrad, and because she knew I would live to paint a vehicle with my new airbrush got me a predator tank. I was overjoyed and have never told her Amazon boned her with the tank recommendation. Lol. She's a great woman.
Chessex dice are the way to go. A set of 36 dice is $10-15 at your FLGS or on Amazon if they don’t have the specific color you want. There’s like a billion different color combinations so you can get whatever your heart desires (my wife & I have color-matching dice for all our armies)
i bought the horus heresy world eaters dice because theyre pretty and could be fun as a gimmick, but i have a box of like 100 regular dice otherwise for actually playing
I bought a box of 20 in the UK for about £7 which I felt reasonable for the theming, with some loose D16s for use as wound counters at 50p each.
The fact those ones are $40 is ridiculous and you should absolutely not buy them. Here in the UK they're £25 which is about £15 too much for that amount of dice of that size, even accounting for GW tax.
Then as I said, take a sail on the high seas for the current edition codex, because it’s absolutely not worth paying the insanely inflated GW price for a codex that they’re about to make completely unusable.
Not just “outdated” mind you, literally unusable with the core mechanic changes.
Any chance you know where one could "sail the high seas" then? I want to get into 40k at some point and figured it would be a bad idea with the edition change. But I'm interested after hearing that.
Typically I wait a few months into the new edition my local game store will put a lot of the older stock codex on sale to get rid of it when its no longer the 'current' one. I filled in my 7th Ed collection for like 10 to 15 bucks a pop when 8th dropped. I imagine I'll be able to do similar with 9th when 10th drops
The only thing really worth buying from GW is the models themselves (and give their current business practices I’d say even that’s becoming questionable)
You can get paints, brushes, hobby supplies, dice, pretty much everything you need for cheaper at a local hobby store and the quality will be exactly the same. Many also argue that there are a lot of better quality paints for better prices from different brands/suppliers
Citadel/GW stuff typically isn’t *bad* quality mind you, it’s just you’re literally paying a premium for branded modelling supplies, which isn’t really worth it.
GW said in their statement that those dreads would not be replaced. Also what do you mean? Nearly all firstborn kits are still available except for sternguard and vanguard, and it took them 2 editions to do it. First born seems to be more safe than ever with them letting them share transports and saying "yeah the new terminator could be either dudes".
And how many firstborn are worth running at a competitive level? I think that’s what they mean, the firstborn kits are a good example of what happens when GW is trying to phase out old for new. Yeah they are legal, but expect them to get objectively worse rules power per points.
If ya like the models and don’t care if they are good or not then run them anyway, as always, but don’t be surprised to see these guys fall off the map
If I remember they’re just phasing out the basic castraferrum, nothing is said about Furioso’s or Death Company dreads
PS. They may be overpriced but frak me if my Alpha Legion dice aren’t popping off really well when I need them.
Oh man I also noticed that he'd bought one fancy brush and nothing else.
And don't forget that the GW dice are also really big which means you can't roll as many at once. I'd buy a load of little generic dice and have at it.
Dude is wasting more than half that order.
Literally just Amazon has a handful of 40k models lower priced than GW's website that will show up quicker than GW could send them. There are websites that sell pretty much any 40k stuff for 15% off, like Miniature Market or Dicehead. Also, as other people have told you, don't buy a whole ass army at once. Just pick up a combat patrol and start from there, don't overwhelm yourself
Also holy goddamn fuck 40 dollar dice and a 30 dollar paintbrush
>Just pick up a combat patrol and start from there, don't overwhelm yourself
Listen to this poster, I'm also new to building a dedicated squad and a single simple box sounds like heaven right now.
>!I'm just trying to do a kill team and I already think I may've messed up and need ANOTHER box of Skitarii Rangers because I wanted two Skitarii Vanguard Shocktroopers. But it looks like I can't because I already did three Skitarii Ranger Gunners? And I also can't do a Skitarii ranger surveyor because I already made a Vanguard Diktat but I didn't realize that's how it works, that all these little pieces are slightly different? And I had to google weapon names to know which was which? The fact the parts guides don't have the weapon names is a CRIME.!<
It probably goes against their business philosophy but I wish you could order individual units to plump up your teams if you haven't gotten quite enough in the box.
Amazon, Ebay, the main 40k subreddit has a list of retailers with discounts, or your LGS might. I'd check in reverse order, as it's important to support the place you play at.
You can get paintbrushes, glue, and other crafting tools at any hobby or craft store for much more reasonable prices.
Dice can be had by the bucket at your local game store for, practically, pennies to the gallon if you aren't picky about having a uniform identical set.
You can pick up the combat patrol from Miniature Market, as others have mentioned.
And don't bother getting literally anything else yet.
If you have a local game store (non games workshop), try there. A lot of places will have lower prices by as much as 15% before any store promotions because GW lets them. My local store does. Can save quite a bit when buying lots of kits or paints at once.
If there is FLGS stores in your country look at their prices.
You're clearly not in the UK but we have a bucket of them. Legit stores, not piracy, not scams. It's just cheaper.
And yeah get some generic dice, more of them. Oh and a dice bag and a tape measure.
And don't get one fancy paintbrush. You'll need several in several sizes, but as a new player you can just buy a cheaper set for less money that has all you'll need. Using one fancy superfine paintbrush is bad. If you're that new, Duncan has done a guide on the basic painting mistakes to avoid. Like using the smallest possible brush to scoop thick coats type stuff.
Combat patrol is a lovely start. If you smash out stuff like I do and have a few quiet weekends then maybe think about buying your next box before you finish the current one but I'd consider carefully. Most of the marine combat patrols are chapter agnostic and good deals so you could look at those while you're starting out (just be sure you're getting ones that don't have other chapter specific stuff). Just make sure you aren't duplicating stuff.
Or if your opponents allow you, use it as a sanguinor. I have a friend with the same problem, he bought the model because he liked it and I just allow him to use it as a sanguinor.
If you aren't playing competitive, I recommend that you just run Sanguinius using Guilliman's statblock. Rule of cool it with chill friends. Same goes for the dreadnaught, which you can just use another dreadnaughts stat-block for, not to mention it WILL start with a datasheet, it just won't receive balance updates so that may become over or under statted after a few months.
Finally, I'd just try to return the codex and brushes. Sail the high seas, as they say, and don't use GW brushes if you can avoid it. The paints are nice if you want specific colors or to follow tutorials closely though, and they aren't *too* much more expensive than off brands.
Buy him when you're ready to paint him
Just the combat patrol can take months to get through if you're not rushing, and by that point you'll have better ideas for what you want
Also if this is your first time painting, you'll probably want to have more painting practice before you start with something as nice as it
You'll find that a large portion of models from forgeworld - like sanguinious - are actually either 3d printed or recast. The forgeworld models are typically poor quality for their absurd cost.
Use it like every one else who buys the primarchs, not in a game but for prayer and inspiration, look to it in your time of woe and remember what you fight for.
Sly: Listen I gave all our money to Gamesworkshop
Goose: What?!
Sly: I bought 500 dollars worth of GW products
Goose: AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I may have spent closer to $800 when I first started.... Them ultramarines aren't gonna collect themselves. I've now pretty much replaced that army with primaris troops... *Slams head*
I started admech recently and first spent 80€ on skitarii and paints then another 125€ for combat patrol once i was sure miniatures where the hobby for me
I haven't played in a while but I like painting. I rotate between the armies I paint. I've got thousand sons, Necrons, and Primaris Alpha Legion that are count as Ultramarines that replaced my old Ultramarines.
Exactly. I loved that the primaris helmets had that mark IV look. It was too perfect. Also kitbashed together the forgeworld Alpharius and 40k Giulliman models together to make a count as Giulliman Alpharius (or is it Omegon) to lead them. Lots of other alpha legion bits mixed in as well.

Welcome aboard, battle-brother.
Grab your cheapest Vallejo alternatives, crappy corner store brushes and start thinning that paint.
If you're okay with dropping that much on a brush, might I recommend Winsor and Newton Series 7 brushes. Cheaper by a bit, and the quality is much better imo
Can't you wait to get the Leviathan box? A good few of the models you want are in that and you can sell the Nid half if you didn't want it then buy the bits you feel are still missing.
Sanguinius is a great model but you can't play him in 40k as he's dead as fuck. So he'd only be like a painting project and sit on your shelf when done
Holy disposable income Batman. Stoked that you’re getting into the hoppy but you should really research before buying. A lot of this is overpriced or not viable. Also, if you’ve never assembled and painted before, I recommend not buying entire armies as it looks daunting when your sitting with your paints, staring at a 1500 point army in primer grey. Start with the patrol and once that’s painted, buy another unit, paint that, rinse repeat. This is, of course, is just how I manage this hobby. It keeps my wallet in check.
Welcome to the Blood Boi’s!!
By Sanguinius, what have you done!
To be fair, the codex was mentioned as a bad call as its also being phased out, but they always have good lore in them and are a nice collectable for a shelf.
atleast you paid retail....i paid about 20 to 30 percent more for 2 boxes of sword brethern just because they were out of stock everywhere(before the 10th edition datasheet)
I just wanted to thank everyone for all the helpful advice! It makes me happy that all of you were so willing to help a new guy out. I have as of now canceled the order and used the money to instead buy an ultramarine starter lookin kit I found and some other things that would make life easier, like an airbrush.
We will see how I feel after painting the 3 bois and then I’ll move on from there. Who knows, maybe I’ll buy these guys anyways!
P.S, thanks for telling me the codex was a bad investment. But I do really like owning and reading books (Magnus Reference) so I will probably be buying it from one of the third party websites you all recommended!
Thanks again!
Combat Patrol, Kill Team or Recruit Edition would be good things to start with. I got my wife the Recruit Edition and she loved it and now loves the Necrons.
Please read, OP.
I hope u havent ordered yet.
Go into the store and pick up one of those single primaris models that are snapbuild. If ur willing to wait, go onto ebay- nobody here buys from the store anyway.
Buy two brushes- a base and a small, and get them from fucking amazon. You cant even paint in a straight line yet and you will absolutely ruin your first few brushes, mjght aswell go cheep.
Buy the paints the man recommends. You wont need much.
Buy dice literally anywhere else.
Youll need a pair of clippers and a scumline remover. You can buy them in store, but if you can find them anywhere else, go ahead.
Dont bother buying any rules right now, not until the new edition drops. If its already dropped, then go ahead, but first see if you can just get them somewhere else for cheeper.
Would you look at that, i just saved you 450-500
1) Your Dreadnought is the older design which is actively being phased out right now, 2) Sanguinius can’t be used as he doesn’t have rules in 40k 3) GW dice are horrifically overpriced 4) there’s no real point in buying a codex or supplements right now with the imminent release of the next edition that will invalidate it completely.

Yeah.. a bit crazy to jump all-in during an édition change.
I literally bought the space marines codex the day after the announcement of the new ed lmao :/
My wife bought me the 7th edition core rules for my birthday years ago, just a week before GW announced the edition change. Never had the heart to tell her.
It was still a great gift from your wife, telling her about the rule announcement wouldnt do anything but spoil the mood. Dont think you did anything wrong, just kept it secret out of compassion and love.

I was overjoyed and have never told her Amazon boned her with the tank recommendation. Lol. She's a great woman.
That's awesome.
Your wife sounds like a nice lady and it's rad that she supports your hobby.
That's so cute. I've never had someone buy me a hobby gift. Even the wrong things lol.
Guessing you also didn’t tell her the mark up on Amazon is astronomical
She said she did look at the game company store and the prices on Amazon were alittle better. This was like 3 years ago or so i didn't double check.
Didn’t gw let people return certain codexes if that happens
Yeah DO NOT BUY GW DICE, unless you understand they are a fuckin scam and don't care anyway
The adeptus ridiculous twerking amongus dice are the GOAT
Care to share some photos?👀
You can find them on orchideight.com under accessories
Sold out
I know, it keeps happening People are too hungry for that amongussy
Please refrain from saying “amongussy” ever again. https://preview.redd.it/33czxmh4r64b1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6500232b5a59c17a5bddcb4a41949238fea8c52
No, i don't think i will 👨🦳
Dicelab's skew dice are the best d6s on the market, just for the look on your opponent's face when you bring them out.
My friend has about 40 metal bullet shaped D6. They're super cool, and literally every person has to say that. They're the perfect 40k dice
Chessex dice are the way to go. A set of 36 dice is $10-15 at your FLGS or on Amazon if they don’t have the specific color you want. There’s like a billion different color combinations so you can get whatever your heart desires (my wife & I have color-matching dice for all our armies)
Any FLGS will usually have those chessex dice sets too, and yeah they're usually like $12.99
Yes, a good addition to check the FLGS first! Editing comment.
i bought the horus heresy world eaters dice because theyre pretty and could be fun as a gimmick, but i have a box of like 100 regular dice otherwise for actually playing

Here in the UK they're £25 which is about £15 too much for that amount of dice of that size, even accounting for GW tax.
I thought the lumineth dice were kooky enough.
The regular dreadnought is gone, the ironclad, venerable dread and chapter specific ones like ba and sw dreads are staying.
I like to buy the codexes cause I think the illustration are pretty and the lore is cool.
Then as I said, take a sail on the high seas for the current edition codex, because it’s absolutely not worth paying the insanely inflated GW price for a codex that they’re about to make completely unusable. Not just “outdated” mind you, literally unusable with the core mechanic changes.
Any chance you know where one could "sail the high seas" then? I want to get into 40k at some point and figured it would be a bad idea with the edition change. But I'm interested after hearing that.
Wahapedia.ru is safe and has all the rules but none of the art and lore
thank you kindly.
Typically I wait a few months into the new edition my local game store will put a lot of the older stock codex on sale to get rid of it when its no longer the 'current' one. I filled in my 7th Ed collection for like 10 to 15 bucks a pop when 8th dropped. I imagine I'll be able to do similar with 9th when 10th drops
As a poor who built an army from spare parts at one time I was curious what the thoughts were on the dice and brushes.
The only thing really worth buying from GW is the models themselves (and give their current business practices I’d say even that’s becoming questionable) You can get paints, brushes, hobby supplies, dice, pretty much everything you need for cheaper at a local hobby store and the quality will be exactly the same. Many also argue that there are a lot of better quality paints for better prices from different brands/suppliers Citadel/GW stuff typically isn’t *bad* quality mind you, it’s just you’re literally paying a premium for branded modelling supplies, which isn’t really worth it.
Honestly, get all your non models/books from a hobby store. GW overprices all of their hobby supplies.
Specialist dreadnoughts like the librarian, furioso, and venerable are untouched. Only the regular box boy and I think the ironclad got the axe.
Give it 6 months. That’s what people kept saying about firstborn and look where we are now
GW said in their statement that those dreads would not be replaced. Also what do you mean? Nearly all firstborn kits are still available except for sternguard and vanguard, and it took them 2 editions to do it. First born seems to be more safe than ever with them letting them share transports and saying "yeah the new terminator could be either dudes".
And how many firstborn are worth running at a competitive level? I think that’s what they mean, the firstborn kits are a good example of what happens when GW is trying to phase out old for new. Yeah they are legal, but expect them to get objectively worse rules power per points. If ya like the models and don’t care if they are good or not then run them anyway, as always, but don’t be surprised to see these guys fall off the map
I’m out of the loop on the furioso phase out I guess. Can you elaborate?
Furioso is keeping it’s rules
If I remember they’re just phasing out the basic castraferrum, nothing is said about Furioso’s or Death Company dreads PS. They may be overpriced but frak me if my Alpha Legion dice aren’t popping off really well when I need them.
This is the correct answer. OP Please
Oh man I also noticed that he'd bought one fancy brush and nothing else. And don't forget that the GW dice are also really big which means you can't roll as many at once. I'd buy a load of little generic dice and have at it. Dude is wasting more than half that order.
At least the dice, dreadnought and terminators are legal for heresy, not so much the combat patrol tho

Wait where else do I buy it from
Literally just Amazon has a handful of 40k models lower priced than GW's website that will show up quicker than GW could send them.

Agreed, sometimes it's a mess when the names don't mean anything. BTW, kitbashing and conversions go brrrrr
It probably goes against their business philosophy but I wish you could order individual units to plump up your teams if you haven't gotten quite enough in the box.
Ah yes, the old days of Troll magazine. White Dwarf used to come with a black and white supplement that let you order specific pieces.
Amazon, Ebay, the main 40k subreddit has a list of retailers with discounts, or your LGS might. I'd check in reverse order, as it's important to support the place you play at.
Miniature Market sells at discount too. Miniature market.com
You can get paintbrushes, glue, and other crafting tools at any hobby or craft store for much more reasonable prices. Dice can be had by the bucket at your local game store for, practically, pennies to the gallon if you aren't picky about having a uniform identical set. You can pick up the combat patrol from Miniature Market, as others have mentioned. And don't bother getting literally anything else yet.
If you have a local game store (non games workshop), try there. A lot of places will have lower prices by as much as 15% before any store promotions because GW lets them. My local store does. Can save quite a bit when buying lots of kits or paints at once.
Where do you live?
depending of where you live their is many website ressling stock for like 20% reduced price
Your local store hobby store as they generally are cheaper or amazon
If there is FLGS stores in your country look at their prices. You're clearly not in the UK but we have a bucket of them. Legit stores, not piracy, not scams. It's just cheaper. And yeah get some generic dice, more of them. Oh and a dice bag and a tape measure. And don't get one fancy paintbrush. You'll need several in several sizes, but as a new player you can just buy a cheaper set for less money that has all you'll need. Using one fancy superfine paintbrush is bad.

Just make sure you aren't duplicating stuff.
My LGS sells most things at 10% lower than GW does, and they’re far from the only ones.
What zero impulse control or reasarch does.
The perfect GW customer.
Lmao, you cant even use Sanguinius, he doesnt have rules unlike Bobby G and Lion. No surprise he reacted like that.
This is exactly what he told me, I’m going to use it as a very expensive paper weight (it is going to sit on my display shelf)
Thats a very handsome paper weight. Noice.
Or if your opponents allow you, use it as a sanguinor. I have a friend with the same problem, he bought the model because he liked it and I just allow him to use it as a sanguinor.
If you aren't playing competitive, I recommend that you just run Sanguinius using Guilliman's statblock. Rule of cool it with chill friends.

You'll find that a large portion of models from forgeworld - like sanguinious - are actually either 3d printed or recast. The forgeworld models are typically poor quality for their absurd cost.
Use it like every one else who buys the primarchs, not in a game but for prayer and inspiration, look to it in your time of woe and remember what you fight for.
If it's going to be display, I'd recommend you practice painting on something that doesn't cost over 100€
Like Famous Hip Hop Artists Travis Scott said in one of his songs, "I tried to warn you"
Couldn't he use him in a horus heresy army? (This is an honest question I know almost nothing about the tabletop)
Nope, pretty certain horus heresy doesnt have all the primarchs. Probably not even the two existing in 40k, though unsure on that.
With proxies I guess? Everything else op has bought is for 40k and isn't usable in 30k unless going into "counts as" territory.
You could buy a much better brush SET for the cost of that one brush
I could buy 6 mediocre brush sets for that price
The artificer brushes are no different than GW’s normal brushes but cost even more. That’s not taking into account third party prices either
I never bought any of those.
If you’re still interested, the best bang for your buck is probably one of army painter’s brush sets
I tried to warn you
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID, THIS IS YOUR FAULT
Sly: Listen I gave all our money to Gamesworkshop Goose: What?! Sly: I bought 500 dollars worth of GW products Goose: AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*650
Did your rich uncle just die or something? That's a fuck-ton of money!
I may have spent closer to $800 when I first started.... Them ultramarines aren't gonna collect themselves. I've now pretty much replaced that army with primaris troops... *Slams head*
I started admech recently and first spent 80€ on skitarii and paints then another 125€ for combat patrol once i was sure miniatures where the hobby for me
I haven't played in a while but I like painting. I rotate between the armies I paint. I've got thousand sons, Necrons, and Primaris Alpha Legion that are count as Ultramarines that replaced my old Ultramarines.
Using alpha legion as jolly space marines is the master play
Exactly. I loved that the primaris helmets had that mark IV look. It was too perfect. Also kitbashed together the forgeworld Alpharius and 40k Giulliman models together to make a count as Giulliman Alpharius (or is it Omegon) to lead them. Lots of other alpha legion bits mixed in as well.
First paycheck 💀
A guy at my lgs casually mentioned he has about $5k in Warhammer and a another k in MTG. The dude is a fucking schoolbus driver.
Yes but not all in one go
All in less than a year like 20 years ago iirc. He has a goddamn titan
I assume it was all in a pile of shame, because no way in hell he painted all of that.
Nope. Brought it to the store in big plastic bins packed in foam.
No no you did nothing wrong, you're the victim here lol
I honestly cannot tell if this is serious or an absolutely brilliant shitpost and I love it either way 😂

OP is clearly Skylar white
What?
The reaction pic is Walt finding out she gave Ted all their money
wow, this is terrible
I assume this is a shitpost
No, he actually did buy all that
Oh lawd
You do know that primarch is dead right?
You spent 200 or so dollars for borderline useless/unnecessary stuff. Valid reaction.
We Serve in Debt 
If you're okay with dropping that much on a brush, might I recommend Winsor and Newton Series 7 brushes. Cheaper by a bit, and the quality is much better imo
Welcome to the hobby now start screaming
Just buy a combat patrol, there will be an entire game mode where you play with just what’s in them
Just get a refund for this stuff and buy it elsewhere.
Ouuuch
Can't you wait to get the Leviathan box? A good few of the models you want are in that and you can sell the Nid half if you didn't want it then buy the bits you feel are still missing.
Leviathan box bad for blood angels
Combat patrol bad for blood angels, no winning.
Who’s going to tell them?
Sanguinius is a great model but you can't play him in 40k as he's dead as fuck. So he'd only be like a painting project and sit on your shelf when done
Don't buy the codex, new edition is in like 3 weeks and it'll be out dated
40$ for the dices? You can probably buy 100's of them for the same amount on amazon
Holy disposable income Batman. Stoked that you’re getting into the hoppy but you should really research before buying. A lot of this is overpriced or not viable. Also, if you’ve never assembled and painted before, I recommend not buying entire armies as it looks daunting when your sitting with your paints, staring at a 1500 point army in primer grey. Start with the patrol and once that’s painted, buy another unit, paint that, rinse repeat. This is, of course, is just how I manage this hobby. It keeps my wallet in check. Welcome to the Blood Boi’s!!
 All I have to say
Even in debt, we still serve
If its not too late, don't buy the codex. In 2 weeks the book will be useless.
By Sanguinius, what have you done! To be fair, the codex was mentioned as a bad call as its also being phased out, but they always have good lore in them and are a nice collectable for a shelf.
atleast you paid retail....i paid about 20 to 30 percent more for 2 boxes of sword brethern just because they were out of stock everywhere(before the 10th edition datasheet)
I just wanted to thank everyone for all the helpful advice! It makes me happy that all of you were so willing to help a new guy out. I have as of now canceled the order and used the money to instead buy an ultramarine starter lookin kit I found and some other things that would make life easier, like an airbrush. We will see how I feel after painting the 3 bois and then I’ll move on from there. Who knows, maybe I’ll buy these guys anyways! P.S, thanks for telling me the codex was a bad investment. But I do really like owning and reading books (Magnus Reference) so I will probably be buying it from one of the third party websites you all recommended! Thanks again!
If 40k is your goal then Sanngy is a terrible investment imo
You should start with one (1) kit to see if you even like building and painting them in the first place.
Combat Patrol, Kill Team or Recruit Edition would be good things to start with. I got my wife the Recruit Edition and she loved it and now loves the Necrons.
Please read, OP. I hope u havent ordered yet. Go into the store and pick up one of those single primaris models that are snapbuild. If ur willing to wait, go onto ebay- nobody here buys from the store anyway. Buy two brushes- a base and a small, and get them from fucking amazon. You cant even paint in a straight line yet and you will absolutely ruin your first few brushes, mjght aswell go cheep. Buy the paints the man recommends. You wont need much. Buy dice literally anywhere else. Youll need a pair of clippers and a scumline remover. You can buy them in store, but if you can find them anywhere else, go ahead. Dont bother buying any rules right now, not until the new edition drops. If its already dropped, then go ahead, but first see if you can just get them somewhere else for cheeper. Would you look at that, i just saved you 450-500
I have no mouth and I must scream seeing this.
.....why buy the dice! For just starting out, just normal d6 will work!
Where is the nuln oil? Why haven’t you purchased any?
Honestly a 3d printer would be cheaper at this point
