So I was wanting a little project to throw some cash at and I've been getting into the 40K lore so I thought I'd get like $30 worth of models and paint them. I was wondering what armies are easy to paint and aren't crazy expensive.
I know you can get Standard Smurfs and Blood Angels for like a dollar a model on eBay, but I wanted to try something a little different that isn't a cheap Chinese knockoff.
I was thinking a squad of Grey Knights because I have a boner for terminators and they are a pretty good army that isn't model heavy if I decide to buy more and actually play from what I gathered.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Find an army you love and build that. It probably won't be cheap, but it'll be worth the money.

Yeah i get that, but I'm talking like 2-5 models for now, not even close to a full army just cool ones to look at.

You should still pick what you like.

>buy squad of necron warriors
>spray with gun metal primer
>apply nuln oil
>paint eyes
>attach Gauss green bits
All done

I guess that is true, seems stupid to shave off a few bucks to get something I'm not happy with, any advice for the best site to buy them?

there is a starter kit of three snap together marines with some paints for 33 bucks MSRP

At first I wanted to get one of those Tesseract Vaults and paint that, but I didn't realized how expensive prisons for cosmic horrors were.

amazon sometimes. Shop around, or support your friendly local game store as they often give a ~20% discount on GW
you can get lots of cheap models on ebay if you play a popular faction but they often need extra prep work first like stripping the paint

Oh wow, the only starter sets I've seen are at my local game store and they are like $80.

I'll look into that for sure, thanks dudlio!

you should really consider that if you do not want to drop like 50$ on paints alone
