Skinks!

I recommend some good ole IG done up in Sailor Moon colors & flair

introduce her to slaanesh

Necrons and Vampire Counts seem to be the easiest factions to play for their respective games.

I'd recommend converting or finding an appropriate miniature to make the army commanders look female (or at least formerly female).

>>2642382
I've offered her my chaos daemon army before. She REALLY doesn't like seeing them for some reason.

>>2642382
Nids & Skaven.

personality? not all little sisters act the same and other that "younger than me" we know nothing of her, for what we know you're 35 and she's 30, in which case I'd suggest Dark eldar converted out of plastic eldar and dark elfs and ... wait, what happened to the dogs of war????

>>2642444
I second this.

Btw, it's not like there's a kids range of 40k product, just go with whatever

Wood Elves. Be a good older brother and put unicorn horns on all of her cavalry.

>>2642353
If you want people to stay involved with something, you have to make sure they're personally & emotionally invested from the beginning; if -you- choose, it won't be -her- army. Just how her pictures of art & models from various different armies, tell her their stories, and see what she's most enthusiastic about.

You can help her with army list effectiveness, but choosing a "good" army isn't as important as an army that she'll stay excited about. You don't have to win to have a satisfying gaming experience.

Also, are you sure she'll have the energy and time to spend on two armies? If her attention is split too much she'll probably end up making a piecemeal effort in each, not finishing either to her satisfaction and becoming discouraged.

Orks EVERYWHERE

>>2642471
and happy tattoos on their buttocks

Sailor Moon Eldar and cuddly Skaven or female impowerment SoB and teddy bear Dwarves.

>>2642444
I've seen her play around with my Skaven army before, but I've never seen her touch my 'nids.

>>2642429
I'll have to see if she likes either of those, but she is usually interested in things along the same line in movies and such. We also don't have anyone who plays either army in my group.

Just give her a basic intro to each of the armies and see what she likes best.

>>2642490
but I've never seen her touch my 'nids.

>I've seen her play around with my Skaven army before, but I've never seen her touch my 'nads.

The lil minx waits til you're asleep for that.

my original Fantasy army (humans or whatever, it was a LONG time ago) had a knight whose helmet had Sailor Moon on it....

yeah, weird, huh?

CHAOS
SPESS
MAREEEEENS

>>2642535

>>2642535

Teach her about what makes Slaneesh awesome.

>>2642467
I'm 28 and she's 8. She loves horror and sci-fi, but hates demons (I think they scare her, but she won't admit to it. She really won't admit to being scared of anything short of being seen showing fright of them (and even then its iffy)). She also loves playing boardgames. She loves pretty much all things medievalish in design. The books she reads (and she reads a LOT of them) are things like LoTR, Dragonriders, Eragon, Hitchhiker's guide, Witch World, Mythigo Woods, and Ender's game. Her favorite movies and TV shows are things like the old horror movies (particularly from the 30s), Dr. Who, Lord of the Rings, Hellboy, and V for Vendetta.

>>2642472
She wanted me to pick the army for her. I already asked what she wanted me to make for her, and she had troubles choosing one. Its a safe assumption that pretty much all armies for both games are sitting around here (including the discontinued ones).

>>2642503
I did that, she really was rather indecisive. Was excited about pretty much everything but the chaos marines (her remark about them is that knights should fight for the good guys, or something similar) and the chaos daemons (she hates demons for some reason, I suspect a fear of them).

>>2642599
It's a good thing you mentioned her reading Ender's Game, or I'd have saged this thread for Eragon bullshit.

>>2642599
>28 and 8

????, let me guess your dad's third marriage?

good guys and knigths? hate daemons? empire and gray knigths.

>>2642484
Dark Eldar. Tell her they are the emotional Eldar. THEN PRRRROOOOOMMMMOOTTTTIIIOOOONNSS.

>>2642616
she read Eragon at the suggestion of people in her class. I'm not going to stifle a reading choice based on it being a pseudo-rip off of another series.

>>2642632
first child and 3rd child. I act as her guardian, though. Parents got lonely when I went off to college. Mother isn't around more than 2 months a year and dad is no longer here.

She was very excited about both ideas. I suspect those two are going to be what she wants the most. That or Vampires and Inquisition. She REALLY liked the look of the Grey Knights, Orks, Sisters, Space Marines, and Eldar.

>>2642695
>orks

Fuck yes, I love the orks. I wish I had more cash.

For WHF, Skaven...

For 40K, SoB.

do you hug your sister OP?

>>2642695
Fuck you nigger, you should have ripped the book out of her hand and hit her with it for picking such a shitty book.

Then rape her for the lulz

>>2642733
Very often. Usually once at waking, once before I drop her off at her class, and before putting her to bed at night. I am of the theory that children should know for a fact that they are loved.

>>2642599
Your little sister sounds too good to be true for an 8-year-old.

>>2642695
>Grey Knights, Orks, Sisters, Space Marines, and Eldar.

Of these, I think an 8-year-old would have the most fun with orks or space marines.

>>2642753
Why, I love the fact that she's reading. Stipulating what a child can and can not read is a terribly thing to do. If she wanted to read barbie books or whatever terrible shit girls typically read, I don't think I would stop it. There is no information control at my house, at all.

Also, one does not rape those they love. Thats a bad thing.

If she likes spooky Halloween style stuff, you could likely sell her on Vampire Counts. Necrons are too boring to play to suggest them, but Witch Hunters are too expensive for a hobby she might not stick with. Try out Warhammer Fantasy first.

You could kitbash a witch sitting on a broom as a vampire count HQ choice. I've seen it done before and it's cute.

>>2642755
....FUCK YOU

>>2642774
not unless they have rape fantasies


also play Orkz

>>2642767
Well, as far back as she can remember, I've been pretty much her only role model. There have been girls, but she never took much of a liking to them or they found her creepy (or both). So, she winds up watching, reading, and doing the same things I do.

>>2642781
then it's not rape, is consensual role playing.

>>2642774
what would you do if you caught your sister reading koi kaze?

>>2642807
get her girl friends else she'll pick up your mannerisms, your tastes, you bad habits and eventually your fetishes; just like mine did.

>>2642808
don't remind me T_T

Get your little sister some purity seals and an honourary Inquisitorial rank so she can order you around with impunity

As for FB, I'd recommend Bretonnians. Yeah, they're perhaps the most generic army in that game, but seriously: Arthurian Lady In The Lake, Damsels riding alongside knights in shining armor. Seems like a solid choice. but ultimately, SHE should get to choose her army.

40k: the obvious gender-appropriate answer is Sisters, but I don't know that they're necessarily noob-friendly. Also, they're VERY expensive to collect being that the entire army is metal.

For 40k, I'd go with generic Marines, Guard, Orks, or perhaps Necrons. All are pretty easy to play and you can get plastic models for all of them. Also, for the first two, it's quite possible to expand into other armies (Sisters and Knights) from them.

>>2642775
There are so many unfinished witch hunters here its not funny anymore (unless you are the one mocking me for room full of unbuilt units (both the older of my sisters and mom do this, and my youngest sister does occationally)). I intend to build the army mostly from my backlog (which is about 2000-3000 points of most armies right now, and god only knows why I keep buying them).

>>2642819
I would do nothing about it. Or for any of the other similar stories. She doesn't like stories involving romance anyways, or at least she says she doesn't. The only comics I've seen her really take much interest in were my stockpile of Hellboy.

>>2642823
I tried that for a while. I've only had one girlfriend that was able to click with my sister. She was a gamer and eventually left me because she felt unworthy or something similar to that (I was never able to grasp entirely what she was going on about). She still occasionally comes to the gaming group or will stop by to play with my sister. My sister does play with the girls my gaming group, what few we have. However, in general she doesn't get along well with females.

>>2642599
Tau.

Play a game of 40K with her where she's represented by a model on the tabletop and if the Tyranids get her then she'll get tentacle-raped. make that very clear to her before the game starts but after she's agreed to it

>>2642919

What does your little sister look like?

rolled 56 = 56

First off OP, props for raising your little sister. That's some manly fucking shit, to take the responsibility like you do. I have the utmost respect for anyone who does.

Now, as for armies? Given her reading choices, it's pretty easy to see that she'd do best with Brettonians and Grey Knights, respectively. The latter is harder to play with, and quite frankly doesn't win many games, so perhaps she'd be more comfortable playing as SM's but using GK's for count-as purposes.

Orks might be a good secondary choice, as they're versatile, flexible, and offer loads of conversion fun. Besides, they're in it for the kicks, which is something I think a kid can get behind.

Do you think she'd like the Tomb Kings? They're sort of on the tragic side, and have actual emotions and memories (I TOO ONCE LOVED), but are suitably awesome. Besides, they're easy to paint, which may be a bonus for a first army.

>>2642353
I d'awwed.

>>2642807
get out of 4chan naow before it's too late and she falls in the hands of /b/

Hey, I remember you from that other thread.

Anyway, she's eight so she probably cares fuck all about the rules and a good army composition. Show her the different armies and she'll probably pick one just for how it looks.

>>2642979
Small, long dark strait black hair, light skin, dark brown eyes. She wears boys clothing, loves overalls, and likes to wear a black baret.

>>2642993
I'm not terribly certain how to read her reaction to the tomb kings. I think she kind of liked them, but I'm not sure how keen she is on them.

>>2643074
That and reading the stories is how she's picking which ones she likes best.

>>2643074
Also, get her involved in building the army. Even if she only paints a few models, it's better than you doing everything.

Also also, you're awesome to take care of your little sister on your own. You're as much a winner as most of us are failures. Kudos.

rolled 92 = 92

>>2643115

Black beret? FUCK YES YOU HAVE THE MOST AWESOME SISTER EVER.

Might I suggest an army that uses a lot of dice?

A swarm army doesn't require much thought on strategy and it'll be cute watching a young girl throw a bucket of dice everywhere.

...

I swear I'm not a pedo.

Give her a rundown of all the races and ask her which she thinks is the coolest. I had a friend who wanted to first be Necrons, then Imperial Guard, then Tau for a tiny bit, then back to the original two, but finally settled down on the Black Templars.

>>2643243
She has to use a cup to play yahtzee, so pretty much any game with more than 3 or 4 dice at a time is cute to watch her play. Tiny hands don't hold very many dice.

Skaven... but done all cute. I knew a guy who painted all his models to look like cute lil lab rats. Okay, maybe they weren't cute, but eh.

Next choice would be Bretonnians. Agreed, boring as fuck to play, but a cool army to look at.

40k - SoBs, or failing that, Tau.

>>2643347
>Tiny hands don't hold very many dice.
Dice look so much bigger in tiny little sister hands

>>2642823
Haha, yeah, my little sister wears all of my old clothing and has a thing for catgirls too.
What have I done.
Pic vaguely related.

All this talk about little sister hands makes me think some people would like those hands wrapped around their penis.

>>2643483
scratch that vaguely bit, this looks a LOT like my sister.

>>2643483
What do you mean exactly by "has a thing for catgirls"?

>>2643483
Awesome tattoo. You don't see many drawings of people with tattoos.

>>2643489
post pics omg

>>2643438
Yes they do, and I don't have anything smaller than normal sized dice for her to use. Its also ridiculously cute when they have to use both hands to 2 dice.

>>2643385
She'll likely love anything with knights in it, regardless of how they play.

>>2643483
Mine likes Horo for some reason. Maybe the only anime character she likes a lot. I think maybe girls just have something for animalized people.

Imperial Guard for 40k(possibly as human auxillaries for the Tau if she's into weeaboo stuff.), and Brettonians for fantasy(assuming she likes horses and/or toothless peasants).

>>2643492
I found a bunch of catgirl porn on her laptop, when she was 14.
>>2643515
Horo is a cute lively charachter anyways :D But yeah, it's probably because animals are easier to understand than people, people like to make things confusing, changing their minds all the time, while animals are fairly straightforward and fluffy.

We salute you for raising your sister. We've mentioned our beliefs on parenting and wargaming before, and this makes us happy. From what you've said, she accompanies you when you game, this can be an excellent opportunity to show off the different choices. Above, all, make sure the focus is on her. Don't try to push her into the army you want her to use, and make sure she doesn't think you're doing that. Little kids base a lot of their decisions on how adults and role-models act and react.

>I found a bunch of catgirl porn on her laptop, when she was 14.

GREAT SUCCESS

Posting in this thread only to salute the OP for raising his sister. Way to man it up.

>>2643682
Posting in this thread only to salute the OP for giving the next generation a female gamer.

Parenting, fuck yeah!!!

>>2643581
Also, make sure that you stand by her even if she makes a bad choice. She's in it to have fun, so just support her. Also this is absolutely adorable.

This thread is d'awwww. Your little sister sounds way too good to be true, so congratulations on being a good role model etc.

Its sounding like Brettonia and Spess Mahreens or Grey Knights are the way to go.

Good work, OP.

Speaking as someone in a not entirely dissimilar situation, I've found that my girl, when I've let her play my copy of Dawn of War (haven't played tabletop in years), liked the Imperial Guard the best. I couldn't get her to admit why this was, but she does seem to highly enjoy employing artillery barrages, backed up by a mix of heavy weapons squads and masses of guardsmen.

With me sitting nearby to act as 'Military Advisor' if she's having any trouble.

>>2643772
you know, this brings up an interesting idea on how to have her choose her 40k army. I could see if she like DoW and use that as a way to get a better idea.

Damn it OP why is your little sister still alive!

>>2643772
Huh, are you THE Nurse-kun?

>her remark about them is that knights should fight for the good guys

>28 and 8

>reads Hitchhiker's Guide

Alright look, I am just going to have to call out your little sister for the figment of your imagination that she is.

Don't take this as a compliment.

>>2643855
Why wouldn't she be? I love her and take good care of her.

Something about a small girl considering to play Orks screaming WAAAGH!...

Heart is full of D'aaaw...

>>2642353
Empire Gunline
Spess Mahrines

>>2643897
Hey, I was reading stuff much harder than that at 8. My reading skills were top of the line, but nothing said OP's sister's aren't too.

>>2643918
I'Z IN CHARGE CUZ I'Z DA BIGGEST 'N STRONGEST!

>>2643772
Nurse-kun, where have you been? Please, tell us what's happened since your disappearance!

>>2643955
He wrote LCB.

Then he hid.

>>2643958
What?

>>2643940

She cannot read works at that high a level AND be so morally naive as to say something like "knights should fight for the good guys."

It's idiotic and this imaginary little sister from her father's third marriage is a fucking paradox.

>>2643965
Love Can Bloom

One other thing to think about: pick an army for her that would be a sensible (fluffwise) ally for the armies you play. Then you can team up for adorable 2v2 battles.

>>2643965
Nurse-kun wrote Love Can Bloom.

Then it all blew up and he couldn't take the pressure, and hid.

>>2643968
Int =/= Wis

>>2643955
leave the nurseboy alone.

>>2643968
Just because you know knights don't always fight "for the good guys" doesn't mean you think they SHOULDN'T. Hell, I still think that, even though I know better and I'd never publicly admit it. Even in D&D, I can't stand the thought of playing something like a Blackguard.

>>2643968
Reading Hitchhiker's Guide does not prevent you from having a romantic view of life. Also, she might have "read" it without understanding it fully.

>>2643974
Haha, no.

But my life did get busy enough that I stopped posting about it on 4chan.

>>2643968
should =/= do. cops should protect yo, not hit you; you should shower daily but you don't, you shouldn't be faping at OP's sister, but you are.

>>2643981

dohoho

>>2644012
We've been waiting this whole time for you to come back and finish LCB! It's like waiting for the Emperor to awaken... it might not be in our lifetimes but we know it will happen!

tl;dr: LCB is still a meme and you should finish it.

>>2644012
just tell us she's fine and we wont bother you further.

>>2644012
Please....give us a brief summary. Just to give us some closure.

>>2643968
Just because I said she thinks knights SHOULD fight for good, doesn't mean she believes all knights do. And what does that have to do with her reading level. I also never said anything about not having to explain things in the book or tell her what words are and mean. Also, I said she was the 3rd child, not that she was from a separate marriage. She had the same father I did. He was in his 40s when she was born and died about 2 years later.

>>2643972
I play most armies so that isn't that hard of a thing to have happen.

>>2643968
>>2643897
0/10.

>>2644029
She's fine.

At the moment, she's sitting across the room from me, watching what looks like an episode of Avatar, on DVD.

She likes Toph.

>just tell us she's exists and we wont bother you further.

Fix'd.

I can't believe I get to post in a Nurse-kun thread, after all this time... The likelyhood of troll is high, but whatever. So, was it all real or fake nurse-kun? Was it all just a dream? Extra points for heresy.

>>2644028
I'm telling you, I didn't write LCB.

>>2644035
He's just jealous of how awesome your sister is.

>>2644061
Well, I checked 4chanarchive. Aside from the +W at the end of his tripcode, it's exactly the same.

>>2644051

>trolls are anybody who says things I don't like

>ratings are things you give people when they make you very angry >:(

If this girl exists:

Let her look through all Warhammer art books you have and everything except the most brutal pr0nografik WH images inside the internets.

When chosing an army it must be the most awesomely cool armée possible.

( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

>>2644061

Raaaaage at my mis-spelling of likelihood. Eh, guys, Nurse-kun never wrote LCB... where did this come from? Miko did the comic, but no-one knows who wrote it.

>>2644074
>BAAAW HE MADE ME LOOK LIKE THE IDIOT I AM!

>>2644062
It's too late, the Bloomlust is upon them. They need that ending, and they need it more than they could ever explain, even if it's not from the true source. Run, and run as far and as fast as you can.

If they catch you, they will sit on you until you write it.

>>2644092
I...must have the segway of doom

>>2644053
Damn fitting. Everybody likes awesome Toph. How is the little lass now? Just a short overview or something.

And all of you thinking that the OP's lying, let me say that my own little sister likes my Warham models, and the fluff (though I left out some of the more PG-13 specifics). I think that she (OP's sister) just likes the look of the models, and the fact that big bro's painting and assembling them; it's all a big arts and crafts project.

Hence, OP, try to get a catalogue, a brochure or something- hell, d/l the Codices off /rs/ and show her the pics of the models, see what she likes, get a few and turn it into a family occasion. Be prepared to offer encouragement and words of comfort when she finds out Golden Daemons take work.

Oh, and postan in a Nurse-kun thread.

OP, You are awesome for raising your sister the way you do, and you should feel awesome.

That said, my suggestion is an ork army. They have flavor, they have fun, and imagining a little girl screaming "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH" at neckbeards just makes me happy.

>>2644113
Agreed on the overview and the posting in a Nurse-kun thread. Honestly, I wish that I could be as manly as he is.

>>2644118
I'm finding the idea of my sister yelling "waaaaagggh" in a game to be amazingly cute.

>>2644113
She's actually read most of the codices for both games, or at least she can regurgitate a bunch of stuff from them. They do vanish and reappear on the veranda with an over stuffed bean bag from time to time. She's also played a game or two, and watches them at least once a week until she falls asleep either at the table or under it.

>>2644139
>watches them at least once a week until she falls asleep either at the table or under it.
I D'AAAAAAW'd outloud.

>>2644139

OP, you are an inspiration to me, and I shall remember you if I ever have a daughter.

Okay, okay, fine. Summary.

She's doing fine, I'm doing fine, we're doing fine together, in a new place, which we're (well, I'm) renting, her education and various therapies are going quite well.

My father died, my family and I have been dealing with it as best we can, my mom loves her, she likes my mom, and various other members of the family to varying degrees.

I've been working part-time at a new job, and that's going pretty well. She enjoys Avatar, Dawn of War, my Muppet Show DVDs, and we play a mean dual-game of the touhous.

Ze end. Back to discussion of OP's quandry.

>>2644149
You weren't the only one X3

OP, what codices did she read? Just some you had lying around, or did you pick them out specifically for her? She might not know the wide range of options she's got, and you don't wanna fork out $$$ for 9001 Spehss Marehns only to have her look at a High Elf Codex and decide she wants some White Lion chariots or something. Like I said, you might want to d/l the Codices, or go to GW's homepage and peruse/cut-and-paste pics on to a file then print them before asking her what she wants to paint.

And don't prress the issue. Intelligent she may be, in my experience young kids can be pretty flighty. She might want to paint warhams today, and tomorrow be all big on W.I.T.C.H. or something; as a big brother, just roll with it and don't be disappointed if she doesn't want to play army men like you do.

I'm always behind on my stories and whatnot...

Nurse-kun is the one with the Damaged Goods story, correct? I tried to read that, but I my moe meter shattered from overdose.

Oh, and, postan in a Nurse-kun thread.

>>2644186
Nurse-Kun is the androgynous nurse who found a triple amputee loli with one arm. She got in a fight with some marine, and Nurse-Kun comes just in time.

That's as far as I got before I realized that it may turn into a loli guro slashfic, and then got scared and stopped reading.

>>2644163

Closure... sweet closure... Time... To die.

By the way op, I suggest Undead (either one) for Warhammer, they are the easiest to paint and have the best fluff. All she needs to learn for skellies is either drybrushing or how to use washes.
As for 40k, I wouldn't recommend IG, they rule, but painting dozens of guys will bore her to bits eventually. I'd go for Grey Knights or maybe one of the other SM factions, Blood Angels (tortured but noble) would seem to suit her taste, and aren't that hard to paint..

>>2642353

Chaos Demons.

Then, paint her purple and give her horns.

Undead and Tau

I'm very disappointed that the first reply in this thread wasn't 'Your penis'.

FOR SHAME.

OP, just wanna say you're awesome for raising your sister. I hope my daughter (assuming I ever have one) will be as awesome as her.

>>2644053
So do I.

So. Do. I.

>>2644204
Sorry if I can't get past 8-year-old-modo, but wouldn't the undead be, well, scary? If it were my sister were were talking about, fantasywise I'd be buying Wood/High Elves, and as for 40K Grey Knights of Tyranids (she likes animals and bugs, and used to steal my Sliver cards back when I still played Magic).

>>2644198
I remember chapter 21, one of the most heartwarming things I've ever read. I remember crying every time I read it, since it was just so sweet.

Anyways, I fully support an Ork army. What is her style of playing?

Oh, I'd say give her Elves for Fantasy, and Sisters of Battle for 40k.

Or Slaanesh.

>>2644175
I have the codices (all of them, going back a long ways) on a shelf, and she was reading most of them.

>>2644263
Well then, that's simple; just get off 4chan and ask her what she likes.

>>2644263
I will just say this, then I'll go back to lurking.

It IS adorable to hear a young girl 'WAAAAAAAAAAUGH'. Even if it's barely above a whisper, solemn-faced, while she's directing a squiggoth to crush a Tau commander. That may factor into your decisions.

>>2644284
That was the first thing I did. She wasn't able to narrow it down past a bunch of different armies.

I would recommend the space marine army. With this, you may easily mix and match a majority of the 40k race.

SM can have allience with the forces of order (tau, eldar, GK, SOB, IG) Since she is into knights and stuff, the races above have characters that can be related with knightly attributes.

SM can be her base force for the time being with the normal HQ and 2 troop slots and expanding them by mixing tau fire warriors as troops and eldar harlequins for Elites. Saraphim from SOB and GK teleport attack for Fast attack, IG armored company troops in the troop slot and so and so. But than, the Leadership profiles for the races will be affected.

This is a great way to find out what she likes. If she likes all of them, than this can be a very unique army with all of the forces of order combine and it is within all the rules stated.

As said, including allies into a SM army from any allied race is this

2 Troops
1 Fast Attack
1 Elites
1 HQ

But it depends on the current codex of the races above, but stick the above. You can have troop choices from any of the race IG, Eldar, GK , SOB, Tau. Same with other slots, but no Heavy support is allowed.

If you take orks, you only can have kroot from tau and some units from dark eldar and chaos. Those are the only ork allies and it depends on what is allowed for them.

From the vibe I'm getting, she doesn't actually want to play 4 SRS, just pewpewpew with big brother, in which case I suggest that OP buy either Tau or Spehs Marehns as the big flat surfaces would be very friendly to new painters/modelers. And remember, OP, MAKE SURE THIS IS WHAT SHE ACTUALLY WANTS TO DO, and that she's not just spouting out sstuff like most younger kids. Don't project your hobbies and desires onto your sister.

No offense meant, by the way, I'm just trying to err on the side of caution.

You made me d'awwwwwwwww yet again in this thread.

Lil loli orkz maek me 'appy.

Pic not quite related, but also brings warm feelings into mah green 'eart.

LITTLE SISTERS OF BATTLE!

If OP does the right thing and lets her sift through a giant picture catalog for a few days, allowing her to choose her own, he must tell us her choice so we may skry what her future holds.

>>2644323

Wasn't there something about Blood Axe orks being able to use as merc forces?

>>2644323 Continue

For the fantasy, give her the brits. She likes knights, give her that, or skaven. Both can be allied with other races easily and she can expand from there.

40K might be a bit of a problem as she needs to read many codexes to know the basics, but get the online version and print the army list for her. As said, the Tau, IG, GK, SOB, Eldar, and SM.

She will have fun with this army. SM goes shooty, SOB becomes meat shield, GK deep strike, Tau crisis suits jumping here and there, IG troops in chimera and Kaserkins getting in close diverting enemy shots while harlequins dances here and there whipping the enemy up with their Initiatives

Do you reliase 40 SOB troops only cost less than 500 points with 2 meltaguns, and 2 storm bolters and with krak grenades. That is a serious meat shield with with enough bolter fire and numbers to make your opponent hesitate to assualt and attack tanks if your sister wants. Each squad consist of 1 special weapon and 1 other weapon. Each model cost 11 points and they come in plastic.

Mix and match the good guys, this she can decide. But if you are making an army for her, and you have many unused models, this can lower your spending cost. Get her a normal SM HQ and 2 troops, than start mixing from there.

Good luck.

>>2644345
I'm not sure how serious she is about it, but she does like to play tabletop games. And she does like the Warhammer fluff. I'm not sure how much she will actually play it though.

>>2644350
She's in bed now so I'll ask her tomorrow. Her current favorites are Empire, Bretonnia, Vampire Counts, and orcs for Fantasy. Her favorites so far for 40k are Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, Orks, and Squats.

Post the army when it's done.

>>2644358
2 ed, waag da orks, they can get guard, DE, ogryns, zoats an I dunno who else

>>2644379
If that is the case, then yes, I suggest Bret knights (sod me for not thinking of them earlier). Maybe even a pegasus knight or two, those models are awesome. As for 40K, I suggest mixing-and matching Bret parts (knights are plastic, right?) with SM parts for that real 'Knight in Space' look. Orks can be an interesting family project; forget Monopoly, start bashing together a trakk with your family today! Like you said, she sounds like she's more into painting and modeling than actually playing, so sod stats and get her some pretty models!

>Squats
Yanno, if it weren't for you saying that you had a large collection of old stuff, I'd start thinking you were a clever troll or something. As it is, remind her that GW has

>>2644379

Get empire for fantasy and SM for 40k.

Both can be easy on someone her age as well as painting and modeling and both can help you save cash if you have them at hand.

I am sure you have extra marine bits, try looking through them and you may find out you can built extra marines from there. You also said you have extra witch hunters, so ally them with the marines.

For Empire, you can have an allience with the brits.

40K, don't use squats. they are outdated, but wait until the updated version comes out. If you have them at hand but don't play, same thing. Mix them. Codex say they can ally with SM, so it helps a lot here.

Let her play and get a feel of it first of some portions of these army and let her decide on how to continue. You can clobber her an allied army, but how it expands, will depend on her. This way, you will not risk spending much.

>>2644379
then give her Squats they're done easily whit dwarf bodies and space marine and ork guns whit the gliphs and symbols filed of -adding candeljack here so they kidnap each other- vehicles will have to be scratch built which is always a hassle unless you're an ork player. paintjobs need to be bold bright and "XTREEM" whit neon runes and the like, give a slayer a purple and pink mohawk. dunno where are you gonna get those much goggles, though.

>>2644404

I second this motion.

>>2644417

He can get the goggles from the SM sniper scouts box set. But there are only 5 of the in a box set.

>>2644409
new rulebok actually says "SQUATS CAN BE AILED TO SPACE MARIES"? as in calls squats by their name? that mean they wont kidnap us? or do we have to wait 'till their relea

>>2644409
There is WH40k stuff in my house going back maybe 15-20 years having the models (or bits to make models if need be) will never be an issue here. My bits box is actually a closet full of boxes.

Emp and Brits are what I'm thinking she's going to want to do most, based on what she likes. However, I will have to ask her after she wakes up what she wants. I also plan to let her decide what goes in her army, that way its built the way she wants it. I will likely start her out at about 1000 points or so, and let her build it as she sees fit to expand.

>>2644417
I still have boxes of Squats around here somewhere. No need to fashion new ones. I'd like to make space skaven, but I've got no idea really where to start on that.

>>2644404
She already helps when I'm messing around with building large numbers of units. She has the coordination to build well enough, but I do the painting.

>>2644434

No I mean the Squats codex. I have it but it a large high res scan costing 450++ MB. The codex outlines you can ally with forces of the Imperium and Adeptus Mechanicus armies. But they still follow on how the GK and SOB allow SM to use their forces. 2 Troops, 1 fast attack, 1 HQ, 1 elite but no heavy support.

>>2644434
as far as I know the 5th edition SM codex doesn't state that they can ally with anyone other than other chapters of SM.

2644499

As long as they are forces of order, you can ally them. Why else do they release the Leadership modification chart at their website. Go browse the GW website, download it and read it. The chart outlines on who can ally with who, but squats are too outdated, but wait for the updated version, but other wise, refer to their codex and use the rules there.

THE rules say this, REFER TO THE PARENT CODEX OF THE RACES CONCERN FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Did you guys even read them page by page. These many shit in there they went through and this includes allies and where to get more info from.

>>2644459
>I will likely start her out at about 1000 points or so, and let her build it as she sees fit to expand
>1000 points

Are you sure ou want to start off that big? I remember when I first started; the first 500 points were the hardest (and I refuse to believe that a little girl has more willpower than I do). Of course, if you're planning to carry on with the 1000 points as you do with your normal armies (I.e. assist her/with her assistance) feel free to disregard me.

>I'd like to make space skaven, but I've got no idea really where to start on that.

IIRC, there were pics posted on /tg/ with Skaven modeled with Tau parts; counted as Gue'la auxuliaries or something.

>>2643968
That's the age I was when I read Hitchhiker's. I think it was the fifth proper book I read, after reading Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

Didn't really stop me from being a naive little kid though. All the really morally ambiguous, adult situations just go over your head at that age, even if you are smart enough to read the book.

>>2644285
Nurse-kun, you're my hero. I thought you should know that.

>>2644499
Of course. Neither does the Imperial Guard codex. Typically, except for Daemonhunter/Witch Hunters, it never will. But what you CAN look for is the parent codex of your allies, where it should say what units can be included. DH and WH aren't mentioned in Space Marines--they're just allowed under their own codexes. And GW clearly agrees with this principle, being that you can take both allies along if you play them at 'Ard Boyz finals in Baltimore (where they'll be using the 5th ed codex).

This might be the most fulfilling thread I've read during my entire time spent on /tg/. Thank you, OP.

>>2644163
>>2644186

I can't find this in suptg... does anyone have a link?

>>2644163
To hear such a conclusion to your story, however brief, has made this Anon teary-eyed. You've done a wonderful thing Nurse-kun, I wish the both of you well.

>>2644906
It appears Nurse-kun was WAAAY before your time, lad/lass.

>>2644942
Please, no oldfag chest beating. You make the rest of us look bad.

>>2644906
the OTHER archive, 4chanarchive.

>>2644946
Yeah, I just realized how I sounded like. Mea culpa.

That being said, for all of you who don't know who Nurse-kun is, do a Google search; the first link's a pretty complete account. read it, and cheer with us as we learn that Nurse-kun and the lady he's taking care of are happy and well, and that he's still getting his ass kicked in Ouendan/origami/everything. How's it feel to be inferior to a little girl, ya big sissy?

(Heh, /tg/ really is the best board).

Well, my brothers 6 year old offspring managed to beat computer with Orks in Dawn of War skirmish. It was on easy, true, but she did it alone! With Orks.
