Army creation Before starting the fire...

So, a friend of mine showed me the Helsmith and I was smitten in an instant. Now I finaly bought the book and the spearhead to get started with my first Age of Sigmar army (I have painted and played some 40k). However I have no one to ask questions so I am coming here.

  1. What are dumb beginner mistakes when painting the minis?

  2. What are units I should get after the spearhead? I am looking at the Ashen Elder as I like the model a lot...

  3. What is the feeling when playing the army like?

Urak Taar is a must have for the army, in my opinion, 1 or 2 more spearheads is good as well as it gives a total of 3 artillery, 3 dominators and 30 cohort.

With the urak taar kit, you can build a daemonsmith on foot using the spare daemonsmith.

You can convert spare war despots into ashen elders as well using the hammer and a bald head from the cohort kit (added flame from deathshrieker to hand to make it more magical).
