Just started...

[VesperalSukhoi]

Hey, I'm VesperalSukhoi from the US,

Just started not just VC, but Warhammer FB as well. I love painting the models(well, the skeletons at least, haven't started anything else...), but reading my shiny new(and expensive) codex, I'm thinking I might have got myself in over my head; the rules for FB seem a bit...complicated. But the VCs seem way to crazy awesome for me to give up on, so I'm going to try and give this a go, hopefully without to much trouble...any recommendations fro army building or getting into things would be appreciated.

Thanks

First off, welcome.

Secondly, build your army out of the models you like, and you must like the models you paint. WHFB isn't that complex (hell, since 8th it's actually closer to 40K than it's ever been before) and once you know the rules for building your army, all you have to do is fill it with wicked-ass cool models that you're going to love painting.

And then, when you discover that your army list sucks, you get to buy all those OTHER models you thought were cool and add them to your list too!

Seriously though, grab some skellies if that's what you like, and start painting them up. Anything from the Core list is going to be good to have, because you're always going to need core units. Its the monsters & rares that you're going to want to consider a little more carefully before you go out and dump a bunch of money.

Enjoy, and welcome again!

I appreciate the words of advice, good sir. I'm hoping to get a crash course in FB from the local gaming store. Are there any threads anyone would recommend for painting advice on Vampire Lords?
