@amachan I’m building Space Wolves because that was what was in the mystery box, but they are the chapter I was most drawn to anyway, based primarily on visual style and what little I know of the chapters.  If I can get them painted up and get some games in and still enjoy everything then I might pick up a different chapter or two some day and learn about them, although if I head down that route starting AoS might be a better idea?  I like the idea of having starter armies for all the major games painted up and ready to go.

@avernos This is a huge problem and really offputting.  If I’d been big in to the game with 500+ painted minis and they turned round and told me to yank the bases off and replace them that might have been enough to make me quit.  Not because of cost, but for ruining all the effort I’d put in painting and basing everything.  Had they invalidated expensive parts of my army that I’d spent months painting there might have been a fire at GWHQ.  I’m still miffed that I picked up a Start Collecting Tyranids box around the release od 8th ed and built the warriors to the instructions inside the box, painted him and, and then found his weapon loadout is actually illegal even thougyh its what the instructions told me to build.  Now I either leave it, or replace his arms and try to paint them up to match without runing the existing paint work.  Grrr!  Its just one model too and I’ve been fuming inside for over a year.
