wow, this is my 1st post. i tried warhammer about 3 years ago, but all my friends were very good, they all placed in top 20 in warhammer every year for 3 years at the GW GT in hong kong. so i played 40k, got pretty good, won many local tourneys, but decided to check out warhammer again. let me just say something...wahmmer and 40k have nothing in common...i didnt realize this. i think even with 3 years exp in 40k i would lose to your avg fantasy player...ive been reading this forum, not because i wanna try DE, but simply out of all online fourms, this is amazing. its like going to a conference on all things Tactic/BR/Army list at once and getting many views. i might play DE just cuz of all i have learned in pst 3 days reading this forum. i feel i could make a list just based on the knowledge you guys share so openly. and you dont just say things, you reason why, give examples, ect ect. its basically perfect for anyone with a DE army. why these are not around for other armies, i dont know.
--since u all seem to be exp warhammer generals as well, i was just wondering, this may be a strange questions...what is a good army to start off with? in terms of overall balance, army list, units, magic, ect ect. DE seem to be for more exp players, due to requirements of tactics n stuff. i.e. like eldar in 40k, if your good you cant be beat, for the most part, like me
, while most ppl can pick up space marines and compete, what im sayin is
all armies have weaknesses that can be exploited by a SMART general. i am not gonna be playin smarties, ill join the dummy league. whats a good army to learn with? not trial by fire, but just get the basics, like setting up flee reactions to open up a flank and stuff like that...thnx for your time...
in case it matters, i played Eldar, Tau, Dark Angels, and Nigh Lords in 40k, i was good with all of them, so i think i cna play a shooty, assault, and balaced list all very well, so i can hopefully adapt in fantasy
thanks again
ps-- excellent job talkin to Gav Thorpe, my 40k DA site i go to also has similar ties wit 40k side, they talk alot to andy chambers, cuz owen reece, who works for 40k is part of the site,
thats what these games need, comm support that is useful,
