Date: February 27th, 2025 7:39 AM Author: Emerald Frozen Native Internal Respiration I don't really play--I don't have any of the models and don't aspire to--but I like the games and some of the lore and I've played with a friend a few times. He talked me into it and will lend me an army. I'm thinking maybe the Imperial Knights? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5686349&forum_id=2#48698059) |

Date: February 27th, 2025 8:17 AM Author: Electric ladyboy 180! knights is fucking hardmode though, man. depending on what armies your friend can lend you, it's relatively easy to play space marines. they come in every big release set for a reason. the army mechanics are interesting but not too difficult. low model count means you'll have fewer units to learn, but they're elite enough that you'll be less likely to get blasted off the board early and have a very unfun time for the rest of a game. they're also iconic, so you'll get a big part of the aesthetic *experience*. [heavily edited, i misread the OP] |

My thinking with Knights is that, in the past, when I've played with my friend I've had a harder time keeping track of everything and a smaller model count could make that easier. OTOH, I agree that the low model count could hit me and also it can be harder to actually cap objectives when you only have like six dudes to work with.
I'm probably least likely to do Custodes; from what I've heard they have a lot of the same downsides as Knights and require some optimization to play.
I'll let you know what the actual lists would be at some point. I'll probably get together with him a couple times and try out the different armies and see which one I have the most fun playing with. |

Date: February 27th, 2025 9:07 AM Author: Electric ladyboy Right, one of the big problems with knights is controlling objectives, which is what how you actually win. One of the bigger pitfalls for new players is focusing solely on eliminating your opponents units and losing sight of board control and victory points. With chaos knights at least, you need to use a combo with demons (allied army, it adds layers of complexity) to actually get board control, so I would avoid this sort of army. Same with custodes, as you say. Just to give you an idea, my last blood angels list from a tournament was: - 4 hqs/characters - 1 battleline (basic unit) - 1 transport, 2 vehicles/walkers - 6 elite units It is more units than knights/custodes, but really not that many more units. Plus there aren't that many weapon loadouts, at least in my list, so it's pretty easy to keep track of. This is just an example, but there are a lot of armies that strike a good balance between super-elite and HUGE FUCKING HORDE OF CULTISTS/XENOS, IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO MOVE 120 MODELS EACH TURN, AND YOU WILL ROLL HUNDREDS OF DICE FOR ATTACKS THAT JUST BOUNCE OFF ANYTHING THAT ISN'T OTHER CHAFF. I'm probably hiding it pretty well, but I absolutely love 40k. The lore is nice, but the gameplay is truly fantastic. A lot of nerds hated 10th edition at first, but I think the overall direction has been good. Will be stoked to chat through armies/lists. |
