I decided to start an Orcs and Goblins army, just not sure how many games I will be able to play, so will go with miniatures I find aesthetically pleasing over ones I don’t like, but I would like to have a playable army at some point and am wondering what miniature/units are most useful in the game so I can get those as well.
I am thinking of getting back into miniatures, mostly the hobby side, but did enjoy playing fantasy when I did about 15 years ago. I want an army I like the aesthetics of, but might play from time to time, so would like something I enjoy the play style of as well. I played a dark Eldar army in 40k and although I loved their aesthetic, I did not like their playstyle, I’m not skilled in the nuances that army needs. I played lizardmen, and had a dwarf army in fantasy, not sure I ever got the dwarf army to the table and honestly don’t remember what the lizard men were like. I think I am more of a just charge into battle type player, and might be ok with holding my line and getting charged at, don’t think I am good with nuanced maneuvering and don’t want to have to get into having to understand every army, and pick the ideal targets for what my troops do. I know this will make it difficult to be a great player, but like I said, I am mostly in it for the modeling and painting, and a game here and there.
If you made it through all that, this all boils down to 2 questions I am having a hard time finding answers too. Are there armies that you would consider easier to play, and what are the basic play styles of armies.
These are the armies I am considering based on aesthetics:
-Orcs & Goblins(seems like an army that would be fun from what I remember, and think they look cool)
-Tomb Kings(I really like the way they look)
-Ogre Kingdom(again I like the way they look)
-Dwarfs(I think another army I think I would enjoy, and love the way they look)
-Lizardmen(aesthetically might be my favorite army, and loved painting them)
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Me being me, I am thinking I am leaning towards Orcs and Goblins and Lizardmen. Really love the look of the lizardmen and the Orcs and Goblins seem like a blast to customize and play.
