Buy a codex.
Hundreds of dollars.
Build time 10 minutes to above an hour. Paint time Thirty minutes to several hours.

More in depth please

My in depth advice, just go for it. It's how most of us have done it.

Buy a pack of models that look cool to you, build them, and paint them however you like.

Do a little research on blogs and stuff on what other models to buy/use, and slowly build up your army.

Dakka isn't here to do the hobby for you, you gotta do that.

That's the fun.

Definitely a troll. At first, not sure. But now, definitely.

(1)by buying the rolebook, codex, and models.
(2)it varies. what size army do you want to play? the bigger the army, with multiple "builds" and you're looking at a big investment. a small skirmishy force? not so much. it costs as much as you want it to cost.
(3)it varies. some people speedpaint, and can do a basic job on a squad in an hour. personally, i'd spend upwards of 4 hours per model. So it depends - there is no blanket answer. ultimately, it'll take as long as you're willing to put in to it.
(4)build time? it depends. conversions, poses etc. pinning, glueing etc. some models come out just fine, and just need the glue to dry before you go to work on them. others will require more effort. again, there is no blanket answer. who cares if you're not good at it. the whole point of entering into a hobby (any hobby) is that you get better with time, patience and practice.

what picks your fancy in terms of models, background, story, and theme? start there.

the death korps of krieg are the name given to the regiments of imperial guardsmen raised on the post-nuclear holocaust hellhole that is the world of Krieg, with Krieg being one of the million worlds of the imperium. they're famous as trench warfare and siege experts. they have a model line. thats what makes them special.

seriously. do some research. read. its all there, and if you ask me, exploring the ficttion of the 40kiverse is one of the most rewarding parts of the hobby.

This thread needs to die.

This has a good chance of being the best thread of 2012. I have been crying with laughter pretty much all the way through.

Is forgeworld a good idea
I would get a pylon for Necrons
Because I guess I've decided on Necrons
And how do I close the discussion

dont post here again... thats how you close this
