building from scratch (warhammer army escalation)

[Colonel Voss]

yep, but if none of them join in, then we'll move it

[Admiral-Badruck]

Tajimi is fine I just need to know when it will be... the thing that sucks is Tajimi is like 2hours door to door and like twice the price of a Nagoya ticket..

[Primarch]

Wow, Tajimi is like 5 minutes closer than Ogaki and about 90 yen cheaper for me. Thanks Voss.

hmm this seems like a cool idea, I'd be interested in coming along, since I'm pretty much a rookie at WFB myself. I just finished piecing together the vampire counts box set. I also had a browse of the rules and have a rudimentary understanding of play mechanics and what not. But as admiral said, its a bit far getting to tajimi. How many new starter players do you reckon will actually start getting into it? and will they all be japanese?

[Primarch]

So Jus wants to play using Vamps, T-o-D wants to play with Goblins. Grrr. Those were my two top choices. Now I'm going to have to pick something else. I dont want to use Brets because they're going to be painted already. My High Elves are done and I've been using them a lot so its not really a building from scratch thing.

So lets look at the choices
Dwarves: +I have some, -I know Voss is keen to use them
Skaven: +I will be getting some come September in the starter box, -So will lots of people
Wood Elves: +I kind of like the tree monsters, -Dont want more elves
Dark Elves: +Good army, -More elves
Daemons: +Easy to paint, -Badruck is bringing some
Ogre Kingdoms: +Not many models to paint, -Not exactly the best army in the game
Empire: +Very versatile, -Difficult paint schemes
Zards: +Easy to paint, -Not so keen on the Saurus models
WoC: +Very tough army, -I dont usually play chaos
BoC: +Some tough units , -Never been keen on the models

So whats it to be guys. Any thoughts on what I should play?

[Spevna]

Ogre Kingdom simply because I like the minis and I LOVE gnobblers.

[Colonel Voss]

@Jus- You and Badruk are the first two rookies. I have another one or three possible in Tajimi who have shown an interest so most likely there will be a few and it'll be mixed.

@Prim: dwarfs are yours for the taking, like I said, I won't choose an army that I have already done and the stunties were my first fantasy army

[Admiral-Badruck]

How about Dogs of War... I would think you of all people would love the look and feel of that army..

[Primarch]

Hmmm, Dogs of War.
Old old army book, no longer supported by GW, army book no longer available, no specific models available.
Yeah, sounds great.

[Admiral-Badruck]

did not know that I guess you will not be doing that... sorry
