A lot of them offer discounts off of GW prices. One in my city does like 20% off pre-orders, and another does 10% when you buy over $200. Talk to them first if possible.

That's how I got my Mortarion for 125 and my Cities of Sigmar box for 145.

You never have to spend 10 brajillion dollars on new slightly taller and more attractive spacemans for your Dark Angels to be playable. 5 brajillion at most.

TehRedWheelbarrow posted:so just new rulebook and codex then? i havent played since like 4th or 5th edition i just spent way too much money 20 something years ago The game has changed a great deal, mostly for the better. Space marines may be close to unrecognizable. You might want a hand adapting some of your old units to the new datasheets, and some of the Forge World stuff may no longer be usable outside of friendly games (or 30K, which is a throwback version of 40K set in the Horus Heresy, and a separate game entirely). Space Marines are pretty much completely converted to Primaris units now, but aside from rebasing and rearranging, your old guys will generally be usable. For the buy in, a rule book and codex are good. Buy the codex new (it has a one-time-use code for the pretty decent army builder app) but look around for a used rule book. You probably also want the Leviathan Mission Deck, which can also be bought used. Mission decks and rulebooks go for cheapish from people splitting starter boxes. Your codex's point costs are wrong, and it doesn't have the Dark Angels units or detachment. You can get all of that info here. Don't buy the Datacard packs unless you want a bunch of cards with unit stats on them. ymmv but it's skippable. Download Tabletop Battles on your phone. It's a game management app that tracks score, mission, objectives, etc. It's unofficial but a free lifesaver, and a goon project to boot. There's an official 40K app that's an army builder, but it's freemium and annoying if you didn't download it six months ago. Other goons can rec good free army builders if you don't want a Warhammer Plus subscription.

Thanks! honestly most of my FW stuff is weird fluffy stuff anyways like land speeder tempests and Damocles command rhino stuff with some of the wirder land raider varients. the titans and the thunderhawk were always pretty much oh cool 10 billion points exploding on no later than turn 2 so not that worried about it.

The classic Land Speeder has been Legend'd, the only one around now is Vengeance. At least for the time being. The new hotness is the Storm Speeder.

While we're looking at newish things, are combi-weapons any good now? I'm still a bit disappointed they've all been mushed into a single profile that can semi-reliably cause 1 damage to infantry models, at worse accuracy for some reason, but that doesn't seem very exciting. Especially if my DG terminators can just get Rapid Fire 2 Lethal Hits bolters.

I'm leaning against MDF just because I'm hesitant with that stuff around moisture, and I'm a bit heavy handed with my base gluing technique using Frisoni's method. I'm wondering if I should try to print the drat thing as 4x 4"x5" segments that I can glue together.

Don't worry, you can skip painting the undersides of anything and various nooks and crannies and your poo poo will still look great from every possible viewing position that matters. The only person who is gonna pick up your dudes and look at them from the bottom or inspect the far side of tubes is you and only you.

I'm a weirdo and I like to paint the nooks and crannies of stuff because I will notice, and the only one who really cares about my poo poo is me so I try to at least do a good job. Some corners get cut in those spots but at least there's some small attention there
