Kill Team does require model terrain but if you find a cool game store they will typically provide this for you in the play space. Some of the big kill team DUDES VS GUYS releases come packed with the terrain already.
Battle Systems has Sci Fi Goth, Urban, and Cyberpunk sets and are great values too if you're okay with cardstock terrain. 100 bucks for a full battlefield worth of modular terrain is a steal in this day and age.
 
I'm a total beginner and just want something to paint models and try out gameplay.
I've been currently looking at the introductory set.
Kill Team which is about 10 models OR Combat Patrol.

If you like building, painting and playing with those models, expand.

Got a faction you like the look of or that interests you?
 
Reddit is melting down since its in America and near Trump
The thread got locked after a little more than an hour.
I suspect it's not just the standard TDS, but also the topical Minnesota ICE stuff.
I’ll be sure to visit it now.

Ignoring the the Lincoln Memorial are we (in terms of thrones and "rulers" I mean)?

The fuck do you mean "wish it was just a dictatorship?" This guy sums this thread up:

Might be worth crossposting in the TDS thread.
The store itself should be within a reasonable driving distance if it's indeed near DC so I'll definitely check it out when I can.

If only everyone realized this at the very least, but too many people believe any gatekeeping is bad even after shit goes south.

Here's Warhammer's most bullyable YouTuber, Wib, with his completely level-headed, sane takes on BlueSky.

UH OH AMERICA IS WERE THE HECKIN NAZIS LIVE.png

WIB, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS.png

What a bellend. When would have been a good time to announce it, Wib?
Would you have them just sit on their hands and not do anything until such a time as you arbitrarily decide that the political climate is right, just in case the stupid plastic toy soldiers might inspire a bunch of heckin' Nazis to do a heckin' hate crime?
 
Sweet baby Sanguinius, what if it's just a store with no underlying political intent?

It's literally just a corporation expanding its brand into a new major market, but of course, it has to be a tacit endorsement of the evil fascist Drumpf to these people.

If they opened a Warhammer World in Beijing, would we hear a single fucking peep out of these people about the human rights abuses of the CCP? What about if they opened a Warhammer World in Riyadh or Dubai? 🤔

No politics? In my current thing culture war warzone? Pfffffffffffffff

You will be shocked to find that the supposedly “anti capitalist/fascist” redditniggers are actually massive bootlickers.
 
Its funny because these types of decisions are the ones executives are actually good at, crunching the numbers on cost, reach, and location. DC is a safe bet for anything that is going to be a travel destination and DC will always be full of tourists. Chicago and NYC are both worse in terms of cost, wealth, and political landscape. Warhammer World isn't going to be a destination for 99% of people but it is an addon that people won't mind going out of the way for.
 
Just put a Warhammer World in Vegas, it’d be the most honest place to put it. That town needs another booster shot anyway.

Sports chads and Warhammer autists, demons to some, angels to struggling Vegas tourist traps.

Or don’t even put it in the States, follow the advice of the audience GW thinks buys their crap and put it somewhere diverse, cultured and not “imperialistic” at all, Tijuana would make a great place for it.
 
Trying to think of what I could do with a woodland terrain set up for kill team. I’ve got too much industrial terrain between ITD and KT1 starter and the Nightmare box. I feel like rocks and tree clumps to block line of sight are a bit over done. Maybe a cabin in the middle for a central capture point. Or pick up the farm ruins from Bolt Action. I could use bushes to block LOS. Idk I just want something aesthetic, flexible to move around and change to keep games fresh.

What about modular paths and hedge rows?

Hmm that would be interesting. It definitely would give any unit with fly a distinct advantage to be able to go over them. Would put pressure on shooters to push towards the farm ruins just to get LOS and melee guys could still hold spots. And if I do ever dive into Konflict 47 that’d be adaptable.

Anything with fly moving over a bunch of terrain is going to be an advantage, unless you over-extend those units so far they end up in combat without proper support from the rest of your army. Although currently "fly" isn't particularly great except for the fastest things out there due to needing to measure the vertical movement(hopefully 11th does away with this). And unless you're made yourself a skew list like a shitload of eldar bikes or something vs an incredibly slow army like DG, you could probably find a way to balance the terrain after a couple of games.

It’s for Kill Team. So a unit that flies ignores vertical distance entirely.
 
This is a very important point. Buy one thing (Combat Patrol or Kill Team) and then try painting it. In case you discover that you actually hate painting and want to bail. Even so, the gray Combat Patrol or Kill Team will be sufficient to play their corresponding game with. You can simply refer to Wahapedia for rules and faction data without having to buy books or search for PDFs.
I think this excellent advice. I absolutely hated building models, removing mold lines and gluing them together, but i loved the painting aspect. I liked the painting more than playing the actual game. I think buying a Kill Team is a very good entry point for a total newbie in the hobby. Also don't fall for the GW meme regarding tools and brushes, you get more bang for you buck if you just buy non-brand hobby stuff. I went through a ton of brushes before i eventually got around to buying a Kolinsky Windsor 7 series brush in size 1 and i never looked back, the hype is real and it is worth every single cent you have to spend on it. For colors Vallejo > Citadel for me, especially their paint range that mimics the Citadel range from when 2nd Ed. 40k was out, it's a perfect copy of those paints. Also cheaper than citadel, plus dropper bottles > paint pot. Build your own wet palette, no need to spring for overpriced branded stuff, there are a ton of tutorials on YT on how to build one with cheap household materials.

This is the last model i ever painted and by far my best work, it was all done with the previously mentioned Windsor Series 7 Size 1 (and Vallejo colors, their basecoat green is pure magic, that is just one coat on that mini, over grey primer) , the point in that brush is so good you really don't need to buy meme sizes like 000.

Just work on your brush control and always take good care of your brush, get a bar of brush soap (i bought curd soap from a drugstore, costs a fraction of what brush soap in a hobby store costs and is the exact same thing) to go with it and you will practically be set for life. You should of course get a bigger brush or rather a good-quality airbrush if you start painting vehicles and bigger stuff.

Edit: While it may look like a Salamander or Dark Angel it was supposed to be a Blood Angels My Dudes ™️ successor chapter. Here's some paint schemes i wanted to incorporate for troops.

The yellow is actually supposed to be a bright and saturated gold tone. Planned to do Sanguinary Guard in bone and Death Company in white. Ambitious project i never got around to come close to really work on. Even looked into making my own decals back before 3D printing took off.

Ah, so KT still does it the sane way still. Also that could be a major problem for something like that upcoming warp talons team(I didn't realize you were referring to KT terrain). Yeah I don't know then. Their tyranid terrain set didn't look like it would function much different, so layouts for that could probably be a decent start although since they're adding that warp talon team(probably get revealed in the preview show next week), could just see what they decide to include with that for terrain layouts and work from there.

Oh I’ve got plenty of terrain. Just tired of the same 2-3 settings I can play. I mean Into the Dark is fun as a set up and modular enough to keep things fresh but it does get a bit bland. I even use ITD terrain on set ups with this.

Kind of have it as a Hive City fun little campaign to get to the power plant to turn it off and the power plant is the nightmare box terrain piece.

I meant regarding seeing what the layouts are, and then figuring out something you can use besides whatever industrial terrain you have since it seemed like you were looking for something besides that, and regarding how GW intends to balance a KT of jump pack marines.
