I have a few questions for you 40k vets out there. I am interested in starting an army for 40k. I have a little expirience with fantasy, with an alright grasp of the rules and flow of play, but I have been much more involved with painting and modeling up to this point.
With that in mind, I am totally enamored with the look and story behind the daemonhunters. The GK Terminators look absolutely awesome, and the possibilities for inquisitor and retinue modeling and conversion is a very attractive quality. BUT I have been told they are a difficult army to start playing with, and through the rough army building I've been doing they look to be pretty expensive too.
-Is it a bad idea to start off with a daemonhunter army?
-How much should I expect to spend?
-What would your suggestions be for a good beginning, basic, and balanced army, using grey knights and centered around majority inquisitorial forces?
-Is it okay to take some liberties on model choices? For example, I really like the cadian kaskrin models to represent the storm troopers, but I if I were to have two units of them, it would cost me less then half the price and still look fierce to use cadian shock troops all jazzed up in red and grey. Also - if I were to order the Solomon Lok forgeworld figure for use as an iquisitor, could I use some dark angel vet marines for the warriors in his retinue?
-What kind of stratagy would a solid army be built around? I like the idea of a lot of deep striking GKs but I really don't how good of an idea that is...
I don't really have a store in my area or anyone to play with locally, so I don't have easy access to advice and don't want to show up to some event two hours away to get criticized for something stupid.
Well, any suggestions and advice you have would be appreciated. I look forward to participating on the forums and interacting with everybody.
Thanks!
