it's cheaper then GW :ninja: I don't think they're actually supposed to be selling stuff below gw's prices, but alas, enjoy it.
Anyway, with any army you start off buying the basic "core" of your army. A battle force of some sort is also always a good place to begin if you're going for a genericish army. If you're building a themed chaos army (World Eaters, 1000 sons, etc) then you might not be able to use some of the stuff in the box, so just buy a few packs of whatever basic troops you need (Berzerkers, Plague Marines, and so forth). After that buy an HQ model of some sort. At this point you should have a "general idea" of what you want your army to be/do, so only buy things that absolutely fit into that. Save buying heavy supports, elites, and fast attacks for when you're positive you actually want them. Otherwise you'll wind up like me, with 3 tech-priest enginseers for my guard army
As for the order I got stuff for my World Eaters:
1st order 2 boxes of berzerkers, 3 packs of bikes (the one with 3 in them), 1 box of bloodletters (At this point I knew I wanted World Eaters and Fast)
2nd order Bloodthirster, another box of bloodletters, a box of Space Wolves Bloodclaws (to convert into berzerkers) and still more berzerkers. (This was after I had proxied a bloodthirster a few times and liked it, and it also syncs up with my stunning realization that I love to have lots of berzerkers
3rd order a chaos dreadnaught and a box of plague marines (no idea why I got either)
done.
