40k for decades now and have decided to give
AOS a try.
I am a complete newbie to it all so I am undecided on what kind of army I want to start with (I was thinking Skeletons and Vampires).
Anyway, because of my uncertainty, I wanted to buy a start collecting box but was not sure which
HQ on the on the behemoth to go for.
I am pretty sure there was a box set which said in the description that I could set up a behemoth and attach any of the 3 main characters I wanted (Mannfred or Archon for example).
I cannot seem to find it now. Do any of you know of this box set and where I can find it? I was thinking of attaching magnets to each of the characters so I can change them depending on my strategy.
Are you wanting to start small or start with a decent sized force?
If you want to start with a decent sized force that comes with its own rules and the only downside to it is using Neferata rather than Mannfred or Arkhan the Black?
The Battleforce "Blade of the Blood Queen" is your ticket. Bear in mind that it might be going away
fast with the surge of new Death players thanks to the new edition's box as it was a Christmas box that still has leftover stock.
It nets you:
-20 Skeleton Warriors(this is
two boxes worth of Skeletons as silly as that might sound. They come in boxes of 10 at the moment)
-10 Grave Guard
-2 Morghast
-Mortarch that can be built as any of them(I can't speak to magnetizing them--I think there's some potential issues with the reins and heads that you might encounter?)
-A Wight King with Tomb Blade
The box you were asking about is "
Start Collecting: Skeleton Hordes"
-10 Skeleton Warriors
-5 Black Knights(or they can be built as Hexwraiths--not in the Warscroll Battalion I think)
-Mortarch
To quickly and fairly cheaply bulk out a force with some elite-ish, heavy hitting-ish units look no further than the
Deathrattle Barrow Lords skirmish set.
Gets you:
-A Wight King
-5 Black Knights
-10 Grave Guard
Hope all this helps. Everything I listed off is usable for "Legions of Nagash"--as is the upcoming Nighthaunt stuff!
