http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k. Lots of my friends play this game and I just built my first 1500 point army! Look forward to learning a lot from these forums!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444333/4176791.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444333/4176791.page GMT
Welcome to Dakka ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444333/4176805.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444333/4176805.page GMT 40k, I have gone out and purchased several boxes and assembled my very first army. I am new to the rules but I have studied the codex and the rule book and I built my very first 1500 point list to play tonight. The list is down below. However as I am new to the game the various game types are throwing me for a loop as well as all the different rules and unit types lol. I was hoping I could get some feedback on the list I have made and some tips (nothing too advanced new player here) on how to learn and be successful at 40k. This list is all that I have, currently at least. It is now fully assembled and ready to go (painting will come later - I have an excellent painter willing to help tutor me on the paint job and I am following his instructions). So I can't switch anything out and the list is what I am stuck with. Can any of you take a look at it and let me know the best ways to use it if possible? I would really appreciate any feedback and help. Thank you in advance!

If you want to take one idea from me it would be to magnetize. $10 or so will get you 300+ magnets on ebay.

Every squad has options, and rather then "pretending" to have the option or building "extra" models to switch out for games, you would be better off just magnetizing the option and swopping them when you use that option.

Also you can preserve paint jobs and do away with the foam if you magnetize the bases and get cases with steel paper lining the bottom.

In your case, I would 100% totally magnetize those terminators and dreadnaughts. Even if you never change them out, they are such expensive models and you can always repose them and move them around if they are magnetized.

Have a good one

The list should be in the army list section, and Dakka might delete it as it shows actual points and stats of the units.

But, my advice....

Your list looks different but may work. Fill us in on wins and losses, and good luck.
