Returning after a long time

[Volbrect]

Hello, I found this group after searching for army tactics and finding some fantastic advice. I have not played Warhammer in over 20 years; my first army was Undead, and then Vampire Counts when they split up the army. Right now I'm just reading information about the three armies that most interest me (Soulblight, Nighthaunt, and Flesh Eater Courts) before I start collecting again. I'm a little intimidated by how detailed the miniatures are having not painted in a couple of decades, but I'm eager to get started.

While I'm here, does this forum cover Flesh Eater Courts, or just Soulblight and Nighthaunt? I didn't see any FEC stuff at first glance and was just curious.

Oh, welcome aboard, nice to have you here.

We obviously discuss FEC too and regarding tactics, there is the intention to realize handbooks for them and also OB.

Amazing to have you here Volbrect ! Yes, as Unas says this forum is for everything Death. At the moment we only have finished handbooks for Soulblight and Nighthaunt, but I think Grave Tacticus is working on one for Ossiarchs and when a new book comes out for FEC I know I would like to do that as well. But whatever army you decide on, we are all more than eager to discuss tactics and list builds and help with painting advice. In general painting has become way less daunting now than it was 20 years ago - there are many great tutorials online and the paint range includes very helpfuld types of paints like shades and contrasts.

Thank you for the welcome. I found the handbooks very helpful to get my bearings.

Carpe Noctem Volbrect! I certainly started working on the OBR handbook, but life has thrown me several lemons I have yet to swallow all the way down as yet, but hope remains... and you never know, might get a new book next year after FEC (presumably).

Welcome and I am very pleased that you are finding the resources and advice helpful. The community here is very supportive and there are a number of experienced players who can help you. As for painting, I have a backlog of upainted miniatures that dates back as far as 1990, so you've got nothing to worry about :D!
