Ive got some models of varying armies though Im still not sure what army I should make my first army. the armies Im thinking of making my first are:

Kharadron overlords
Skaven(already have a few models for)
Maggotkin of Nurgle
Slaves to Darkness

#

Slaves to Darkness, we're the coolest army with the best rules of the 4 you noted

thats biased

But not inaccurate

#

Nurgle and KO are going to have issues this season

#

Skaven is decent

Slow or fast, horde or elite, damage or tanky

a slow, horde, dealing lots of damage

Idk how hordey nurgle can play but it hits 2/3

alright

Skaven has a few slow horde lists now because of the new brood terror and screaming bell, brood terror spam with a bell giving them -1 to wound every other battle round and an inbuilt D6 heal +D3 heal from screaming bell makes it a very powerful and fun faction now

alright though I dont think the nurgle models look cool (I really shouldnt have put them as one of the factions I was considering)

alright

do are any of them fast hordes?

Skaven

#

Bit low on the damage side but you can put some buffs on them and make it work with volume

There aren’t any fast hordes in AoS apart from nighthaunt, they’re a fast horde with pretty great survivability now due to their new terrain and can output crazy damage if set up correctly

# echo remnant Skaven are quite fast

They aren’t really a horde army though I’d argue. You can HAVE hordes, but they’re usually screens for big units like verminlords, brood terrors, doom-flayers etc. Vissik and krittok help with the horde style armies but they’re still not amazing compared to the traditional way to play them

A horde list of Skaven is playable, but not good imo
