GhostLegion Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 new player or old, I dont personally thing the chapter really matters so long as 1) you like the look of the models, 2) you like the theming of the chapter and the unit choices, and 3) you find a paint scheme you like. with that, well, any codex works so long as you find it interesting painting your models is another point...here you need to make sure you like the colors youve chosen...whether or not you decide to go with the colors as ascribed in the codex you choose...they are your models and youve taken the time to paint them, so you should like how they look. army composition wise, well 1) make sure the units you choose are available in the codex you choose, 2) make sure you read the codex you choose to know what the units are and how many you can have, and 3) make sure you have enough basic troops to support any specialists you bring. as to how big it should be...well, for a new player, I wouldnt suggest more than 500 points. this will typically be 2-3 squads and a commander...and maybe something else depending on how you spread your points. all in all, remember it is supposed to be fun doing this, and if you like the look of the model and how youve painted it, well who is anyone else to tell you wrong? (though ask for an opinion and youre likely to get it...just fair warning there) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260599-hello-im-new-and-need-help-with-stuff/#findComment-3170937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hail and welcome, brother! I would attempt an answer of my own but I believe GhostLegion has adequately spoken of the salient points. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260599-hello-im-new-and-need-help-with-stuff/#findComment-3171099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
