I started off by being a basic blue boy Ultramarine. But growing up in a Christian household influenced me to start collecting the Sisters of Battle. I really like their catholic esthetic, plus they have a PIPE ORGAN MISSILE LAUNCHER!

As someone with two armies(Salamanders and Tau) and I got some advice. 1- even if you have a lot of one army and you lose interest, don't be afraid to scratch that army and build something else. You can always come back to that army later or sell it off it you really dislike it.
2- Don't let anyone tell you that you can't collect an army....rule of cool🤙
3-Paint schemes don't matter, the only exception to this is if your playing Blood Angels for example but they are painted as Imperial Fists, that could be confusing. Although it's not illegal or against most rules.
4-Collect units YOU want, this is something I struggled with. I wanted the best for my salamanders but ended up just getting a bunch of random units in my army.
5-Rules change ALL the time so don't worry about getting the best units because tomorrow they could be the worse.(look at LOV for example, everyone got the bundle box but returned it once the new rule changes came out.)



Bottom line is to get what you want, do what you want, and have Fun. I would also recommend Kill Team for anyone debating on multiple armies, although Kill Team isn't 40k you can kind of see how they play in 40k by playing Kill Team. Lastly, don't jump right into it and feel as if you need everything all at once, as stated in the video, start small.

Nice concise vid! I'm starting to get into 40k after the PowerWash Simulator DLC got into my brain (despite my best efforts otherwise lol) and here we are. Slowly (but quickly) building a Sisters army and seeing where that takes me. >:D

I like this channel so much already that I subscribed with 2 different accounts. One for when I am sneaking around at work to watch, and another on my own personal computer (bob the builder).
Great advice - looks and what you want to do with your army. Thats why I settled with Necrons and Iron Hands.

Loving the videos! Thinking about expanding my Ynnari army with the new edition!

[LordCommanderJoe]

Great video as always! Keep up the great work!

Ooo hello new video 😍. I've narrowed down to 4 armies.
Ultras. Black Templars. Tyranids. Tau.
I don't think it's healthy for my wallet to build all 4 😂.

Great thumbnail! Lol. Should definitely be a recurring thing with different models lol.

Still in the collecting phase, after having gotten a few cool ones just for painting purposes. Decided on Salamanders - who doesn't love fire? We'll see how it goes. Looking to find a Land Raider Redeemer, but those seem to be super-scarce at the moment. Eh, it can wait.

Anyone knows the name of the art used for #2 army composition?
it looks amazing

[daniever]

I understand less and less the more I research.

Is the boss on the ork boyz part of the unit? Is he a character? Arent characters supposed to be their own units?

I can barely start planning because I understand nothing.

[Morgansquad]

I started with imperial knights haha 🤣

[habitualturniptwister]

Space wolves.. That is all.. Team Jacob. Sorry wrong franchise.
