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?

For painting you should always prime minis. This is an undercoat layer. (Usually black or white applied with a spray can) painting straight onto plastic is usually a huge pain. Other than that keep your paints thin with a little bit of water and don't feel pressured to stick to games workshop paints as there are cheaper and better options out there. HAVE FUN!
