ok not really a noob, i played Fantasy back in 6th edition for a little bit but then my group and I have jumped headlong into 8th edition with a vengeance. I normally play Druchii but now Im branching out because of my not so secret desire to play with toy dinosaurs lol. My plan for my army is to use models that I like whether or not they are GW or not. For instance the DE cold ones for my cavalry and convert a few toy dinos to be used as carnosaurs and salamanders instead of the wallet emptying GW ones. May the Dread Saurian not turn on you and have you for brunch
Welcome to the Jungle! Where toy dinosaurs rule (literally and figuratively). Be sure to share pics of your converted dinos.
Welcome to the forum! Toy dinosaurs is what got me into the hobby in 6th edition. I always like seeing converted dinosaurs so make sure to post your work in the painting forum here. For gameplay, I recommend giving the Tactica Index a look if you haven't done so already.
