<p>Players can use the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Theme_Force" title="Theme Force">Theme Force</a> rules to construct their army list once the game size reaches 25 points. Themes <i>restrict</i> which models from your Faction you have access to, with different models being "locked" into different themes. In return, playing a theme force gives you multiple <i>benefits</i> in return. Also, models in a theme force normally have natural synergies with each other - synergies they can't use if they're paired with models from outside the theme.<br />
</p><p>Themes are considered the default way to play Warmachine and Hordes (although technically they're optional). <br />
</p><p>Regardless of whether you're starting at 25 points or lower, as a new player you have two options: <br />
</p><br />
<ol><li> Ignore themes to begin with, buy a couple of things you like the look of, and later on figure out if they work together in the same theme. <br />
<dl><dd> With this approach you run the risk of buying models from a hodge podge of different themes. At some point you'll end up choosing one theme to use and expand, and shelving your models that don't fit the theme.</dd></dl></li><br />
<li> Figure out which theme contains models you like the look of, and limit yourself to just buying models from that theme. <br />
<dl><dd> This approach has the benefit of not shelving any of your purchases <i>and</i> you're more likely to have models that have natural synergies with each other (even if you buy things completely at random).</dd></dl></li></ol><br />
