With my much needed holiday over, it was back to good ol'Blighty from Greece, my extra wait to open up my Heresy Age of Darkness box set was not wasted. I did plenty of research reading other blogs and watching the community creators You Tube videos. In my head I had thought I had decided what my first steps were going to be, that was until I started opening all my pre-orders. I must admit the sheer amount of plastic in the box set I found intimidating. Normally with a new starter set there are 2 sides, bish bash bosh and the forces are assembled and you are gaming. Now with Age of Darkness things are not quite so simple....
Thankfully Andy a good friend of mine has picked up a starter set and has decided on Blood Angels as his force, so this made my decision making a little more easier. Reading through the rulebook it is very clear that you need a good amount of line troops to be able to take and hold objectives.
As I already have a painted Tactical squad of 10 with a Rhino. I decided that my first unit would be another Tactical squad and the Praetor with the axe. This would at least give me a legal starting point to the army and give me a little more time to decide on the rest of my list.
So as you can see in the picture the first squad and praetor are built and ready for undercoating. I am aiming to have this squad completed this week.
What progress have you made with your box set? and have you yet decided on your army list?
