QuestionCan I play this game alone?Community AnswerTheoretically, yes. With enough creativity and a slight bend of the rules here and there, you could play it alone. It would be like playing chess on your own. Also, many collectors of Warhammer prefer the building and painting process to the game itself. With a little practice and dedication you can dramatically improve your painting skills in a short period of time.

QuestionWhat if I don't have anyone to play with? Are there events I could go to?Community AnswerYou would have to research that, as every place is different. However, if you can find a gaming store you can possibly find events or ask around, or see about hosting an event yourself, depending on the store's setup.

QuestionWhat is the best army to collect for beginners?Community AnswerSpace marines (ultramarines) are easy to get into, but honestly, it's mostly a matter of personal preference.

QuestionIf I am a beginner, should I play necrons?Community AnswerNecrons are a great choice for new players who want powerful armies that do not rely too much on complex schemes. They shoot quite well, have decent armor and have nicely powered vehicles. They are also, arguably, the most resilient army in the game.

QuestionHow many miniatures do I need to play?Community AnswerThe number of miniatures is based off of how many points that you and your opponent have planned.

QuestionWhat about the Tau Empire?Community AnswerI have a Tau army, I sometimes use them as allies with my Ultramarines. They are not bad.

QuestionDo you recommend getting Skitarii when I first start Warhammer?Community AnswerThis is my personal army of choice. If your mind is set on Skitarii as your army, it's better to start collecting them early than to buy another army and either get turned off the hobby for playing something you didn't care for or spend a bunch of money on something you wont play again. That being said, they are not a newbie-friendly army, especially with regard to painting.

QuestionHow many different armies can I have at once?Reno ByromCommunity AnswerThe only limit is space and money. If you are referring to gameplay, that requires consultation of your rule book.

QuestionHow do I play Warhammer 40K on a budget?Community AnswerHave an Ultramarines army. Don't buy citadel paint, as it's really expensive. You don't have to have a huge army, just a few units are enough to play with someone in a small game.

QuestionAre the T'au a good idea to enter Warhammer 40k?Blaziken77gCommunity AnswerAs long as you like them, yes! Don't get too caught up in the stigma surrounding an army as that could lead you to play an army you don't really enjoy. If the T'au range has your favourite models and favourite playstyle, go for it. Remember: Warhammer 40'000 is a game. That means you should have fun with it and if you enjoy the T'au's aesthetics and rules, play them!

QuestionIf you get a starter kit can you play without purchasing a codex?bob bobCommunity AnswerHypothetically yes, you can play with just the rules on the datasheet - you can also find most rules for the game and the factions on Wahapedia but a codex definitely is easier to use.

Questioni just looked at the website and didn't find the dark vengeance box, why?bob bobCommunity AnswerIt is an old box set, so is no longer in production. You can purchase the Warhammer 40K starter sets instead - there are 3 types, each one with increasing price and models (featuring Necrons and space marines). Combat patrols are also a good starting point for singular armies
