Hello there.

I'm a noob when it comes to Miniature Wargaming so I'm in the process of working on making a hobbyist desk not only for stuff like Warhammer 40k, but Gunpla as well. I've always been fascinated with anything military science fiction related ever since I was introduced to Star Wars as a kid. Which is why I wanna start getting into Warhammer 40,000 and then go from there.

For the topic of starter sets, I have Dark Vengeance, but that's in the 7th edition if I remember correctly. So I'm not sure if I should get a new one or not. Though I'm having trouble deciding on which WH40k faction I should go with. I was leaning towards either some Xenos faction, the Imperial Guard or the Space Marines.* If I where to choose on of the latter two factions, I would want to collect all the Imperial Guard Regiments or all nine of the Loyalist Space Legions/Chapters in order to field such a large force. But is it possible to have a combined force of Dark Angels, White Scars, Space Wolves, Imperial Fists, Blood Angels, Iron Hands, Ultramarines (I know they have a bad reputation among the fandom, but it would just be to complete the set), Salamanders, and the Raven Guard? As I was typing the paragraph above, I just remembered that my all time favorite Space Marine Chapter is the Legion of the Damned. Yet I'm not sure if they still make minis for those guys or not. Or if they even have a codex to call their own. I'd appreciate some info or advice regarding choosing a Space Marine chapter as a starting 40k faction at the very least.

*As a side note, GW should totally release some new factions in the future. Especially if they're Xenos, the more options we have for factions, the better. In my opinion. I heard they might do that in the 8th Edition, but I'm not sure if it would said factions would be primarily human, xenos, or just a rumor.

For non-40k related wargames, I'm also interested in maybe getting into Flames of War (and/or Team Yankee for that matter) as my choice for a historical wargame. And the faction that I'm kinda leaning towards is the British and/or French if it means I can field an "international" force of sorts from their respective colonial empires.

Such as a British army full of...

01. Celts (Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx)
02. Canadians/Quebecois
03. New Zealanders/Maoris
04. South Africans (Zulus, Afrikaners/Boers, etc.)
05. Indians
06. Nepalese
07. Egyptians
08. Australians
09. Nigerians/Other British West African colonies
10. Rhodesians/Other British Southeast African colonies
11. Kenyans/Other British East African colonies
12. Malaysians
13. Burmese, Iraqi/Other British Arab colonies

Or a French Army full of...

1. Algerians/Moroccans/Tunisians
2. Vietnamese/Cambodians/Laotians
3. Syrians/Lebanese
4. Francophone West and Central Africans
5. Malagasy

Though another faction that interests me is the Soviets since I heard you could field a massive army of troops with them. Plus I could probably do something similar with the Soviet Union as with the French and British Empires by having an army full of the various nationalities within their borders at the time. Though I'm not sure how doable all of that is. There might not be much uniform variance, especially since military outfits tend to be standardized for obvious reasons and all that jazz. I'm just spit balling here so sorry if I get anything wrong.

But yeah, if you got any advice for me on how to start out and/or answers to my questions above, please feel free to let me know. Otherwise, I may or may not just be a lurker around here after this post. Anyways, hope that you all take care and have a good day wherever you may be.

We have a forum which includes Flames of War: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/forums/show/26.page
You can get anything 40k-related answered in the 40k forums very quickly. These are split into tactics, general discussion, etc, so keep in mind what section your discussion belongs to before posting. If you still want more, don't be afraid to visit other websites for some great answers.
The official flames of war discussions can be found here: https://www.flamesofwar.com/forum.aspx (it links to a facebook page)
Also, this DakkaDakka article is incredibly helpful for understanding how to enter into Flames of War: https://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Starting_a_Flames_of_War_Force

Dakkadakka is probably the best forum I have found when it comes to 40k discussion, so you can't go wrong. There are some sites that are more specifically focused on one particular faction in 40k, so if you have any of these factions in your interest, you will find tons of similar fans who discuss some great stuff:
If you like Tyranids: http://thetyranidhive.proboards.com/
If you like Dark Eldar: http://www.thedarkcity.net/
If you like Orks: http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/index.php?act=idx

Other general 40k discussion sites...
Warseer is also a great site: http://www.warseer.com/forums/
Librarium online is nice too: https://www.librarium-online.com/forums/forum.php

As someone who has played Bolt Action, I would HIGHLY recommend you check that game out if you want a more larger infantry-focused WW2 skirmish game. When it comes to tanks, Flames of War might definitely be the best place for that. Both are large games, but BA focuses more on infantry.

Have fun, and good luck with your projects!
Oh, and don't be afraid of lurking. I do it 90% of the time

So if I wanted to start a thread asking "What faction would you recommend to start out with?", would that go in 40k General Discussion section? Or would that go into Tactics?

As for Bolt Action, do they have troop models of the various subjects of the British & French Empires?

Asking about what faction to start out with is a general question, so that does go in 40k General Discussion. If you were to ask for some help in choosing specific units for an army, that would be a tactical question that would go in tactics. You can kinda see the idea

Bolt Action does feature British and French troops, including some of their colonial units. The French are a bit more limited with only some African/Middle East soldiers, but the British have a LARGE selection of colonial troops. Recently they just released Australia as it's own faction!

Take a peek here for the commonwealth section: https://us-store.warlordgames.com/collections/british-commonwealth/

Warlord has also released a British infantry plastic kit that includes some heads with Turbans if you wanted to have some Indian soldiers fighting in Africa: https://us-store.warlordgames.com/collections/british-8th-army/products/8th-army
(They also have some scottish heads, so you can go crazy with those awesome hats)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll get to work on that thread of mine right away.

No Vietnamese/Southeast Asian soldiers? Though from the hindsight of the First Indochina War, a lack of models could make sense from that perspective. Though I don't know enough WW2 history to know how many Vietnamese colonial troops fought the Imperial Japanese forces at the time.

So are Warlord Games going the route of Hearts of Iron 4 Together For Victory by giving each major British Dominion/Colony their own rule book and models? Because if they make the Indian Army playable, I would definitely like to field some Sikh soldiers in battle. Speaking of which, I heard through the grapevine that Battlefront Miniatures gave Flames of War players permission to use the products of other companies in their games. So could I theoretically use both Flames of War tanks and Bolt Action infantry in the same game? Or is that not doable due to scale differences?

What other options are there for colonial soldiers besides Indians and Scots?

No problem. The majority of people on this site are 40k enthusiasts, so prepare for a lot of good diverse answers (and disagreements )

Unfortunately, no. This is a minor faction, and so they only have rules for Goumiers (Moroccan), which require third party models as they haven't released their own. Artizan designs makes a few of those: https://www.artizandesigns.com/list.php?man=15&cat=104&sub=169&page=1
The Tirailleurs (African) do have official Warlord models: https://us-store.warlordgames.com/collections/french-army/products/senegalese-tirailleurs-infantry-section
Sadly, that's it. These are the only colonial units in the rules for French. However, feel free to replace "regular" or "inexperienced" with whatever units you wish to proxy. As long as they have the required weapons, they're all good. I don't know a supplier for French Vietnamese troops, but I'm sure with some googling you can find some shops.

I'll break this down into points to make it easier to type

1. Bolt Action is a casual rule set. Because of this, you can field early war Polish against Late War Germans with balance, etc. There is no restriction for periods like you see in Flames of War, so keep that in mind. It really comes down to which army you want to play. Warlord does allow different models, as there are units like the Goumiers in every army book that are present rules-wise, but not present mold-wise. Because of this, kitbashing and proxy is necessary.

2. As for the British, no, all you need is the British army book for your British forces. Although, I do believe a special rule allows you to choose a bonus factor depending on what play style you want. Could be wrong, so please double-check that. So no, you won't have an army book dedicated to Indian troops. HOWEVER, nobody is stopping you from using the Indian heads and kitbashing an entire squad of soldiers. You could literally buy an entire British army and just swap the default heads with colonial heads. It is very common for people to do headswaps for more creativity, so don't be afraid to do that. There are no special rules for Indian troops AFAIK

3. I actually recently checked with a subreddit to make sure this was the case, and yes you can use unofficial models with FOW, even in tournaments! (at least these people told me so)
Keep in mind, Flames of War is 1/100 scale (or 15mm)
Bolt Action is 28mm, so BA will not fit with Flames of War. Just get yourself some cheap 1/100 infantry and you'll be good.

K9ofChaos wrote:What other options are there for colonial soldiers besides Indians and Scots?


It depends. You have all the ANZAC forces for the British (just pretend that some of the Australians are New Zealanders.)
Aside from Scottish and Indian heads, there are also the Punjabi heads in the kit (the turbans with the spikes)
There are also Polish Airborne.

The Soviet army has Siberian Veterans: http://www.warlordgames.com/new-siberian-veterans-boxed-set/
They also have Mongolian Calvary, but those will need to be bought/made somewhere else.

There are both Nationalist and Communist Chinese armies in the rules, but they have ZERO models.

The Australians have native irregulars, which has a few different ethnic groups: https://us-store.warlordgames.com/products/kachin-native-irregular-squad

The Chindits have Papuans: https://us-store.warlordgames.com/products/papuan-infantry-battalion-section-pacific

EDIT: The Belgians also have some models which you will need to proxy. These troops are from the Congo.

I can't really think of any other units. You can kinda see how there are maybe 1-2 max colonial units for most armies, but you'll have to check that out for yourself.
Bolt Action EasyArmy is a free platoon builder that can show you what units are available for free. Check that out
As I have said earlier, there are simply units that do not have models, so you might need to be a bit creative.

Hopefully that covers everything!

That's a lot to take in. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the info. It's just gonna take me a while to digest is all.

If they don't have an army book dedicated to Indian troops, why do they have one for Australia/ANZAC despite them being British subjects at the time? Not saying it's a bad thing for Australia to have it's own army book. I'm just saying that if they're going to give Australia an army book, they might as well give India, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand their own army books as well like how Hearts of Iron 4 gave those five British Dominions their own national focus tress.

Punjabi soldiers are Indians too. When I said Indians. I was talking about other ethnic groups besides the Punjabis/Sikhs.

So are these Siberians ethnic Russians who may or may not have been sent to a gulag, non-Russian ethnic groups like the Yakuts or the Buryats, or a mixture of both? I assume it's the third option as with most stuff related to the Soviet Union. Pretty cool that you have the option to play as Mongolian Cavalry though.

SirStudent wrote:There are both Nationalist and Communist Chinese armies in the rules, but they have ZERO models.


Cool. Sucks that they don't have any models though. Warlord Games should definitely make more models though. What are the best places to get third party models online though? (Sorry If I asked a question you already answered.

I did see the Papuan models while browsing the Warlord Games websites a day or two ago. Good to know that some obscure parties in WW2 are represented in this game. I don't think FOW even has any Belgian colonial troops in the first place. Though I could be wrong about that.

Thanks! I'll check out the Bolt Action Easy Army program myself. Does easy army only work for Bolt Action or can it be used for other wargames as well?

If not, what's a good army building computer program that could work for all types of games?

I guess what I was trying to say was that Flames of War has much more of a restrictive lock on what periods you can specifically play in, whereas Bolt Action is much more liberal. Of course, fielding FOW troops in BA would never work due to the bases, along with the scale difference. In hindsight, my point 1. was terribly worded, so sorry if it made no sense :(

Not something I can answer. At the end of the day, companies will start to support the factions that are the most popular, which is financially beneficial. Keep in mind that as I said before, BA is a casual game system, and so Warlord really didn't plan on having every single major faction have various subfactions with their own specific rules. Not every game system is designed to have that many armies or options, although I'm sure that if we were to have this discussion again in 10+ years, there might be a new faction on the horizon for BA. It really comes down to what the majority of the fans want, as well as corporate interest. Personally, I prefer having the entire British army encompassed in one rulebook, as any extra units are sent out for free on Warlord's website (they do this now and then to add new units for the minor factions).

K9ofChaos wrote:There's a FOW subreddit? If so, I might need to see if I can find any other subreddits for wargames besides 40k. Also, good to know that the two games have a completely different scale.


There are subreddits for everything. I would also like to add that there are just as well-known Facebook pages, so you don't have to just stick to Reddit

My ethnic knowledge of India is limited, so sorry about that. Poland does have it's own army, but the Polish airborne technically count as a commonwealth force, being part of the British.

They are models with Asiatic features. Most likely, historically speaking, they are a mix of both Yakut and Buryat, as they were used as an offensive horde (cannon fodder) against the Germans.

No idea, sorry

There are ethnic Polynesians and Burmese (some in this Chindits). but there are not many Aboriginals as far as I know. According to the internet, only about 3000 served. They did wear basically the same uniforms, so just use a different skin/hair/eye color and you'll be fine. See the attached photo below for the infantry.

On a side-note, Britain has Maori infantry as a special unit with AMAZING bonuses, although no models. Makes me shed a tear with NZ pride

There is no such thing as a program that builds for all wargames. 40k players tend to use something called 'battlescribe", but that is out of my area. Ask them. There is also an Easy Army builder for Kings of War (fantasy).

Here are the trained Aboriginal troops:
