Newbie under mountain of figures (Std & Bloodbound)

Hello,

First, apologies for being a total noob. I am a reasonable painter and was a lot more involved in Bolt Action until now (WWII miniatures game).

I inherited from my cousin a few boxes of Chaos figures (+a couple of birthday presents) and bought a starter set of Slave to Darkness figures .

It really got me interested in starting Age of Sigmar but I am a super newbie here. As usual, best is probably to go to a club and talk with people but meanwhile, I'd appreciate if I could get some advice from the community.

It seems I have more figures than needed and maybe some are missing.

Questions:

What figures do you recommend me to paint in priority, in what quantity?

Anything to add?

Here is my current figure count:

15 x Chaos Knight

57 x Chaos Warriors

2 x Chaos Warriors chiefs/heroes

25 x Marauders

1 x Marauder chief/hero(?)

5 x Marauder horsemen

1 x Chaos Warlord on daemonic mount

1 x Daemon Prince

1 x Vampire Hero

1 x Chaos chariot

1 x Chaos Sorcerer

19 x Blood reavers

30 x Blood Warriors

10 x BloodLetters

10 x War hounds

Thank you so much if you could help with the first steps (I am a fast painter).

Brax

Well if I were you, i’d Just paint the models up you like best and want to use.

of course there are some direction where a professional tournament player would go, but that’s literally a big step away for you. So just paint up what ever you like and have fun on your first game.

Whatever he said.

However, getting battlelines (in you case, 5*X Chaos Warriors, 20*X  Marauders, 5*X Blood Warriors etc. ) and main hero (general) sorted are always a good idea if you want to play following matched play rules.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I am finding slowly my marks in the game.

It doesn't seem that it requires as many figures as I initially thought, and painting what I like sounds like a... good idea!

I am planning to start with:

10 x Chaos Warriors

5    x  Blood Warriors

5   x   Chaos Knights

Should take me three weeks

Again, thanks!
