Hello everyone. I am starting an Imperial Guard Army, but I can't choose between Steel Legion or Death Korps of Krieg. Any help in making me decide?

If you have several dice, I suggest the DKoK [aka, money is no object, Forge World!!!]
If your too poor to afford dice, Steel Legion [Cheap]


So in other words,
Rich - Forge World - DKoK
Poor - Games Workshop - Steel Legion

Wait a second...

Super Rich - Forge World
Have extra money to spare - Steel Legion
normal cost for GW - cadians...

poor = steel legion... they're not cheap! lol.

Is $300+ dollars enough to afford a DKoK army?

a small'ish one! keep in mind that resin is at least 1.5x the price of plastic kits. the DKoK squads are just that; 10-man squads. sure they look fan-freakin'tastic, but you're looking at droppong more like 400-500$ for a proper 1500pts force!

also keep in mind the lastest batch of juicy rummors which have hinted about forthcoming plastic greatcoated guardsmen for about the past month now!
this could mean we might be getting them by the later half of this year, after the big summer release!

cheers!

Cant believe I missed this so far. If you have about 300-500 USD to drop on FW and some kind relatives who might spend another couple hundered dollars you can pull off a Krieg army. They are totally worth the money b/c even if you suck as a gamer at least you'll have THE coolest army out right now, so you cant lose!

And on a side note FW isnt really that expensive compared to other hobbies. But in respect to GW their prices are pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for and thats also why FW is not for everyone.

Whichever way you go man I'll be happy to help you out with all aspects of either a Steel Legion or Death Korps of Krieg army as I am one of the few(maybe the only one) who has close (short a few Infantry sqauds) to a full army of them around here. If your really enjoy the Guard and are serious about all aspects of the hobby you wont regret going Death Korps.

Good luck mate,
BvL
