Subject: Thinking about starting AoS with Death army, advice needed

Hi all,
So, I got into WHFB with vampire counts just before AoS started but gave up when I saw how it changed (I really liked the look of WHFB). I sold all of my vamp counts stuff back then but now I want to restart and give it a go. I'm thinking a Whight king, some skelly-bobs, black knights and grave guard type army.
Would this be any good?
I'm not looking for super competitive, just to have fun but I don't want to get rofl-stomped either.
Any advice for a mega noob such as myself?
Ta,
Ed

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.
The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.
That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

Grab a Deathrattle Barrow Lords box or two, maybe a Start Collecting Skeleton Horde box, and get a few practice games in. I wouldn't worry about what's good or not since Death is getting a revamp in a few months with the Nagash battletome.

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.
I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games. |

Awesome, thanks. I'm going in slow-grow mode with a friend so we'll be starting with one unit each and going from there. I'm going to grab a box of skellies first, hopefully this weekend.
