Dindrenzi Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hi folks, New to 30k, never played a game (not even a 40k one lol), so looking for a starting point. I have 3 BaC box sets to start with, and an Imperial Knights Renegade box. My aim is to eventually find a gaming group local to me but first I'd like to get an army ready. I like the look of a jp Eidolon with Palatine Blades but other than that I have no idea. I plan on buying whatever's necessary but have no idea where to start Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324034-emperors-children-which-row-to-aim-for/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yikes the 90 tactical marines alone sound like a chore to paint. Maybe keep two B@C boxes wrapped and start with one. you get around 1600 pts out of one (depending on upgrade) and play a few games to see what you like and what you don't. Sorry I have no ideas for the 3rd specifically.

Dindrenzi Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 2 of them are still boxed up and will probably end up being traded for other things lol. Decided to go for 3rd Company Elite RoW, the kakaphoni look good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324034-emperors-children-which-row-to-aim-for/#findComment-4446177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah, I think for the EC especially you don't want a lot of Tac marines or whatever! 3rd Company is an incredible RoW, getting Kakaphoni as troops is amazing!

Theredknight Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Maru skara might be ok in 3500/4K games, but I don't think many play that now, as you can go kakophoni crazy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324034-emperors-children-which-row-to-aim-for/#findComment-4446228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Maru has a place, certainly with all of the buffs - but 3rd company getting shriekers on everything is too tasty.

Jackalwolf Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Kakophoni degenerates disgust me humph! Maru Skara is the true spirit of the IIIrd Legion, play perfectly and you´ll win big, do anything else and fall on your own sword. On all seriousness, probably kakophoni rite will be best for you if you don´t mind being a traitor, since you can easily buy the GW chaos noise upgrade kit for 15 USD and turn 20 of your BAC tacticals into kakophoni: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chaos-Space-Marines-Noise-Marine-Sonic-Weapons Then do the other 10 as veterans. Maru Skara I find much more fun and of finesse but you´ll need to shell out much more cash than the previous option to make a fluffy and competitive army under Maru Skara.

If you're gonna go traitor, may as well go full degenerate lol The cost isn't the issue, it's learning the tactics of Maru Skara with no previous gaming experience. Over time I'll probably end up with an army that can fulfill both. Not a fan of the upgrades, will probably get the FW kakaphoni. Going to see if I can find a good army list for both RoW's and see if I can grasp tactics b Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324034-emperors-children-which-row-to-aim-for/#findComment-4446370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
