Now this is just a little bit of fun but what was your first warhammer army?.
My first army was a very coherent looking force huge bulk of it was made out of the huge mainstay of the BATTLEMASTERS boxed set.
Ah yes the memories of all 20 beastmen 25 beastmen 20 of my chaos warriors the 12 chaos knights (two boxed sets of battlemasters and I used the empire knights as chaos knights too :P) A chariot I built out of the cannon from the battlemasters game with two of the chaos warriors from the heroquest game riding it.
The HeroQuest Against the Ogre Horde ogres with 10 ogres in total the battlemasters ones as a champion and standard bearer respectivly in each of the 2 regiments.
Yes I got 2 boxes of battlemasters one off a freind for Ā£5 who got it brougth for him by a aunt for christmas but wasnt interested in warhammer nor the cheap battlemasters alternative. The against the ogre horde was also found in a local toy shop who had thousands of copies of the expansion for Ā£2.99 which wasnt bad for 6 ogres.
I painted them all a lovely almost purplish blue metalic and I was using a high elf swordmaster model as Aekold hellbrass at one point and I had a chaos mage from the heroquest game as my magic user.
Blood Angels (although technically I painted my first Space Marines in a mix of the four main Chaptersā¦) . My first Warhammer army was Bretonnians, because thatās what I got in the box. Those models still make up the core of my current Bretonnian army, actually.
High Elfs for me. I remember looking through pretty much every army back then, saving the pictures they had on their homepage, which wasnāt quite the SELL! SELL! SELL! it is now back in -98/99. Taking them home sitting and looking at them. Of course I kinda liked them all.
Why I didnāt pick CDs then and had a cool OOP army now Iāll never knowā¦
Though I didnāt quite get into it all until I started my CSM army in 99/00 and got properly involved in the club.
CDs were my first army. If Iād taken a bit more time to think about it I probably would have gone for Dark Elves. Later I bought a few O&G models just because I liked them.
Chaos here, although I didnāt have a clue what was happening and when I realised the armies etc, I bought a crap-load of stuff and to this day havenāt painted all of the army box
I guess I would say that my first real army was dwarfsā¦almost all of which I still and have greatly added to in the last year or so. that said I owned portions of everything that was availableā¦most of my āarmiesā were based off the ancient Warhammer regiments box set that came with 10 each plastic Dwarfs, Orcs, Gobbos, Wood Elfs, Dark Elfs and skavenā¦i had at least 30 of eachā¦eventually I traded off the WE and O&G and started working in metal command sectionsā¦then slowly replacing the plastic with metalā¦I now have 21 plastic dwarfs and everything else is metal!
for 40kā¦I had a Rogue Trader SM force which I used a few timesā¦and am selling now. For collecting reasons only Iāve been gathering a RT CSM force over the last couple of monthsā¦they are going to be fun to paint!
My first army were Orcs & Goblins. This was back in 5th ed so chaos dwarfs were there as well but i didnāt go for them at that time. O&G got my attention because of their variety. As a fantasy fan i thought that I want as many types of fantastic creatures in my army that i can get and the O&G book was the only one that had two races in the title :D. The next army i played was Dogs of War but i quickly abandoned it (though i still own some regiments of renown). And the last army that got my attention were the chaos dwarfs. They are now one of the two armies that I posses (the other being my first love O&G).
My first army was the space marine 6mm figures space marines (and squats simultaneously)Ā Ā Then I started 40KĀ Ā (I think thatās the order)Ā Ā with Space Marinesā¦ I started my own chapter the Space Tigersā¦Ā Ā and painted them black with white stripesā¦ then I got into Fantasy with the 4th edition box set and collected Dwarfs and orcs and goblins simultaneouslyā¦Ā Ā I know have:Ā Ā 40K: Tyranid, Orks, and 2 Space Marines (Dark Angels and Space Wolves) Amries.Ā Ā Fantasy: Chaos Dwarfs, Beastmen, Chaos Warriors (thank you battlemasters), Orcs and Goblins, Undead (never updated from 4th edition), dwarfs, bretonnian, and empire (again - thank you battlemasters :cheers)
I still have all the Epic space marine stuffā¦ Iāve been tossing around attempting to play it again soonā¦Ā Ā Iāll have to dig out those card board buildingsā¦
My 1st army was 4edition empire. Thought they looked really cool at the time. Still got some and the painting now looks terrible! Moved onto chaos dwarfs next then dark elves then orcs and goblins and now finally back to chaos dwarfs!
boxed set.
