I take it you are new to warhammer 40k?

you don't really buy boosters, you just buy various models, some are as low as 3 for $6 and some models are as much as $45 (bog ol tanks, LOTR felbeast) anyways I basically bought the rulebook, my armies codex (space marines) a space marine battleforce boxed set and thats how I started then I spent a few hundred and hundred and got a alot more guys

I made my own chapter (space marines have various chapter, basically differant paint schemes, some of the already made official chapters have special rules ie. the dark angels can field an army where terminators count as troops. It gets complicated, I'd first go to your local GW (gamesworkshop) and ask the people that work there, or go online to www.gamesworkshop.com and look at differant armies.

oh and the a battle force is around $80 or so, contains alot of guys though, I'd suggest playing LOTR if you are low on cash, it's generally cheaper (24 models for $20)

Hmmm I see you play the mech warrior table top game? well the Gamesworkshop productsare simiar but alot older, IE GW is over 25 years old. anyways 40k is like MW but you build your own guys, paint em, and equip em how you like.

anyways you paint you're own models so making own little chapter err army custom in easy, to ease the confusion
