I just started getting into Warhammer 40k miniatures games and am stoked but it is a tad overwhelming. I am hoping our site has some Warhammer vets to kind of point me in the right direction. I always wanted to play Chaos if I played and stared at it from afar. However, now a league is starting in my town and me and a buddy are diving in. We got the Defiance box set that is out right now and he took the marines while I took the Chaos guys. I need to know beginner stuff for Chaos. I would like to run the Black Legion faction but have read some things that discourage them in small games because they are a specialty army. How small or large do games get?
We played a sample game out of the book tonight but we aren't sure if we did it all right anyways. It was an ambush mission on a 5' x 5' table. Not much terrain except his dining room table's centerpiece. I got clobbered but I think my cultist armies suck. I am looking for a good beginner faction and some justification for choosing that faction. I REALLY would like to play Black Legion. SO much I have thought about just playing an unbound army and making a faction up that would be the Death Knights or something. (I like the black and gold color scheme) I ain't really sure what else to put so I am just gonna post this and see what happens. No information is worthless information to me at this point.
