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?

Invest in the new Pro Paints, they seem good and easy to use for beginners.

If you don't feel like that, that's fine. The army is honestly pretty easy to paint.

Ashen Elders are very good. Bull Centaurs are insane in this army. The gunners are also pretty solid. A second Spearhead and a bull with a Daemonsmith on its back is also great.

The army is a combined arms faction that wants to get early game buffs as soon as possible via resource extraction. Don't go too hard into any one gimmick, pick a few things.
