http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WoC army and I have a few questions:

What is a good budget I should look to start with?

Whats a good point range for a starting army to learn the game mechanics? (ive read some of the rulebook, but I learn better by doing then reading)

Has 8th edition drastically changed the way you play a WoC army? In what ways?

Ive heard some bad things about playing WoC like here:

Is this true?

Thank you everyone for all your help. It is much appreciated!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1786634.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1786634.page GMT WOC has 2 of the best core ranked units.

Warriors run in units of 15-20. Khorne marked units work well with halberds or additional hand weapon. Tzeetch marked units work well with hand weapon and shield.

Marauders run in units up to 50. I prefer great weapons* and no mark, others prefer flails and the mark of Khorne.

*use the flail arms with the ax heads - super easy GW conversion.

Trolls and/or Ogres work very well in 2 ranks of 3.

Add a wizard lord, Battle Standard Bearer, and 1-2 fighting characters.

Fill out the last quarter of your army with units which look like fun - Hell Cannon, Knights, Chariots, Spawn, Marauder Horsemen.

As for that blog - its the gamer equivalent of Fox News.

3 boxes of CW, 3 boxes of Marauders, 2 characters, 2 boxes of Trolls = $340 retail. I'm sure you can find it at a discount somewhere. If the budget is an issue, Knights have the best points/dollars rate.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1787906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1787906.page GMT
I also agree WoC are one of the cheapest armies to buy because i'm making a 2250 lits for about $310ish. The only other army that I can think of being made that cheap is Ogres and HE (with the new starting box).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1787929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1787929.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1787978.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1787978.page GMT I personally hate marauders, but they are very useful. I just don't like the models. Just remember - your hero/lord is probably going to massacre most other heros/lords, but they do cost a ton.

Heck, in my 40k circle, tau and eldar dominate everyone. The rankings say the shouldn't, but tell that to my dead nids :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1791621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308133/1791621.page GMT
