Guest Armies

One of the things I'm going to have to tackle soon, is having a guest army. Lets start off with why have a guest army.

Basically, a guest army is an army for friends who don't want to pay for models, or people deciding whether or not they want to get into the hobby, before they buy their own army. So if you have one, you can get more people into the hobby. It will also give you another army to play with when you wanna spice up the game. It will also add much to the pictures you take, just guardsmen running firing at nothing, and manning defenses is getting a weeee bit old.

What is a good guest army to have? Space Marines, Chaos space Marines, Orks, and necrons, are great guest armies. Why those armies? space marines (and therefore chaos space marines) and orks are part of the assault on black reach box set, meaning, ebay sells these models like worms a tackle shop, its just the bread and butter of warhammer sales. That said, necrons are also cheap, due to high model points cost, and basic logic, necron warriors, plus moniliths, equals done.

Now how to buy one :D Me, I'm torn between iron warriors, and orks, but I'm going orks, because, well, I like orks a little bit more, and I love horde armies too much to not get another.

So here's plan >:D Buy orks, lots and lots of orks for cheap, I really mean, LOTS AND LOTS of orks. Upwards of 120. Then buy two warbosses. DONE. I'll periodically add more, as I go, but it's a thought. Orks also make a fine starting army tactically. See, the main objective, simple, get into CC. If they lose men, they have more. Tactical errors are few and far between, and thats always good for new guys.
