My insights for today:

1: The Thrallmaster is surprisingly fun to paint.
2: I still have a talent to knock things over.

Blue Tac is your friend  I tac my pots to my painting mat because I have the same talent

How big is such a box? On the GW product page it somehow looks super huge. At least the "project box" one. Unfortunately it doesn't say the measurements anywhere. The "color box" seems better sized and might be enough. Which one do you have?

And yeah, I'd definitely assemble and prime at home. I'll probably only do basecoats on the go. So the light situation isn't even that critical. That would already help me a ton. Then I could focus on the cruicial and fun parts on the weekends.

 

I have the project box, It's big but fits in a carrier bag and holds everything I need, the colour box is only designed for paint pots, the project box has compartments for tools, brushes and miniatures as well as paints. I got everything I need in that one box.

Sounds great! Finding people to play with is half the fun too, wargamers are usually easy to approach and talk to and more than happy to share knowledge and ideas.

For list building, your first stop should be the builder here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/

You can start with a 1000 point list for example, choosing the bonereapers as allegiance and faction as well to draw units from. You will get handy lists with point costs and simply click to add the unit to the list.

As you will see for 1000 pts 2+ battleline units are required and 1+ leader is required. With the feast of bones box and a harvester you got a lot of heavy hitters and lack some battleline, as only the 10 mortek guard in the box are battleline. Your only leader from the box is a named character, and while cool he is not really that great, I however proxy his model as a soulmason, which uses the same base size and is much more flexible.

Here is an example of a 1000 point list, this requires you get a Liege Kavalos model and a box of Mortek guard:

Allegiance: Ossiarch Bonereapers

Leaders
Liege-Kavalos (200)
Mortisan Soulmason (140)

Battleline
10 x Mortek Guard (130)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield
10 x Mortek Guard (130)
- Nadirite Blade and Shield

Units
3 x Necropolis Stalkers (200)

Behemoths
Gothizzar Harvester (200)

Total: 1000 / 1000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 54

Thanks so much for the reply.

Looks like a good starting point for an army there, now all I need to do is find someone willing to show me how to play and somewhere to play lol

I work away so don't get a lot of time to paint so I'm going to set myself a realistic target. I was bought the Feast of bones box and a Gorthizzar Harvester for Xmas so this month my plan is to assemble and paint the 10 man Mortek Guard squad which came with feast of bones to give myself a chance to test out the paint scheme I want to use. I'll also be creating custom bases for these models set in a lava setting (Dead dudes coming from hell kind of theme) so that will take some time to get right.

If I get time I may also assemble the Harvester because it's a cool looking model.

Also my first time so start small and aim high I reckon

I also work away, I bought one of those plastic project boxes from GW and a small carry case for a few models, I bring all the paints i'd need for the certain models I bring and a bit of glue in case there are any accidents, 2 water pots and my palette sheet book .

I make sure to assemble and undercoat stuff at home so I can keep the amount of stuff I need to carry to a minimum. Most hotel rooms I stay in have decent desk lamps already so that's one less thing to transport

I'm completely new to playing AoS but I love the look of the bonereapers and it's got me wanting to play.

My only issue is I have no experience with building lists or anything I've only ever been a painter for both 40k and AoS models, never found any gaming clubs which were local to me in order to learn how to play.

I have the feast of bones models for the bonereapers and also a Harvester because I liked the look of the model and I'm going to start painting these this weekend but any tips I could get on building lists would be greatly appreciated.
