Hi there guys!

Recently I started AoS with a friend of mine. After a while we have a few miniatures and we are looking to play a game. We decided that we will play at 600 points.

I have the following miniatures:

Montarch. 

Wight King with Black Axe.

10 Skeletons with Spears.

10 Dire Wolves.

5 Black Knights.

This is thw list I think I'll play:

Allegiance: Grand Host of Nagash

Leaders
Arkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament (320)
- Lore of the Dead: Fading Vigour (Deathmages)
Wight King with Black Axe (120)
- General
- Trait: Lord of Nagashizzar 
- Artefact: Ossific Diadem 

Battleline
5 x Dire Wolves (60)
10 x Skeleton Warriors (80)
- Ancient Blades

Total: 580 / 2000
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 36

 

After this I've been think about buying the next things to comolete my army I hope you can give me your feedback:

Haven't done the math but what you plan on buying sounds like more than a full army.

Might want to make 1k 1.5k and 2k lists (these are the standard point games) and see what products you will need to purchase from there.

The game isn't really balanced or designed around smaller games like 600 pts, so who knows how it will go, just have fun :)

 

I would also recommend buying, building, and painting in stages.

Good rule of thumb is not to buy anything else until you're painted what you own, otherwise you have a big gray army and people usually enjoy playing more when their army is painted.

For the time being I have everything painted. Only the montarch is giving me problems.

With the links I show you before in theory I'll get 30 Skeletons and 20 Grave Guards. A friend of mine told me that as death was expensive I could try to use the free bits in the boxes to make 10 of each extra. That would let me only with picking 20 extra Dire Wolves. 

That way I would have full packs of Battlelines. But I wanted to check it out in this forum.

My idea is to play mainly with Deathrattle and Grand Host of Nagash. 

So what outside of I said would you pick?

Thanks.
