Fresh Recruit

[apollyon]

Hello everyone!

New here, and very new to the Guard (if not the game). I've been inspired by backpacking through Eastern Europe and the WWI/I monuments to begin an army of Guard.

Bought my first Battalion Box set today, and will be putting the Platoon together tomorrow. I plan to build a combined arms force of lots of infantry with vehicle support. As such I thought I'd join the forum to get help with what builds are best. Once I start painting I'll get a plog going.

Cheers!

Did you go Cadian, or Catachan?

Looking forward to seeing your models. Before you do start building as word of warning. Its worth a moment to look through your Codex to see what is legal and Not. I've seen many new beginers waste time and money by forgeting to do so. Sure some models looked cool, but the army was completely unplayable.

Once you know whats legal, don't hesitate to talk Army Lists for the best builds, or to hear what kind of builds suit your taste, and possible play style.

Cadian. Will be dipping into the FW range to add some flavour.

I have looked at the book and won't waste my money. I have a rough idea what I want to build, but will post a list up soon.

Ah, fresh meat for the grinder. Welcome to the board, and don't mind the genetic samplers.
