lunchb0x Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 With the new "DEX" supposively a few months away, I am torn, between what to add and what not to add to my army. With new a "DEX" comes the follow up new figures...so I wonder if I should just get vehicles for right now, or get more troops...like bike squads and what not. I currently have a small army, planning to add a boxset a week... Current army : 3 - 6man grey hunters 1 - 10man blood claws 2 - drop pods 2 - dreadnoughts 1 - rune priest (power and terminator ) 1 - wolf priest ( terminator ) 1 - 5 man Termy squad ( old skool for the win :woot: ) 2 - razor backs 1 - rhino 1 - long fang squad 1 - scout squad ( again, old skool for the win :lol: ) I have to finish getting in some more metal terminators and Ill have a second 5 man squad of termies. Lighting claws + heavy flamers!...or cyclone missile launchers and storm shields and master crafted...yes its mean, but AWESOME. So, I was thinking of adding more of the following : vindicator (x2) Drop Pod (x2) RazorBack (x2) Land Raider Crusader Whirlwind (x2) Blood Claws Grey hunters old skool Ven. Dread/Forge World Chaplain dread Bikes (x6) Wolfguard (x7 1 assault, 1 heavy flamer, 2 cyclone , 3 troopers ) Should I just go with vehicles for now, and hold off on troops till the new dex comes out?Or load up on troops right now and wait on vehicles? We can pretty much garuntee that dedicated transports will be in the new DEX so I dont have much to worry about with them...though what they can be out fitted with I am concerned about. Drop pods...thats a no brainer...though I do wonder if we will get the vindicator in exchange for something better from the Leman Russ tank setup... :huh:...also there is a concern about adding things to the list that , due to rumors, wont be in the new list...so I want to stay as basic as possible.

Vassakov Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Vehicles is a better bet, as they are a lot less likely to be screwed with. Perhaps not Redeemers as much, as rumours suggest we might not have it. But tanks are a good bet, especially if you glue little and magnetize lots.

To be honest I would say to just be patient, wait, and don't buy anything until you see the new codex. If you simply can't stand that, then I'd say you would definitely be safe to pick up more Drop Pods if you want them. You could also get your vehicles (Predators, Land Raiders, Transports) and just use magnets on all armament options to ensure future flexibility in case options change (this is a good idea anyway, just to have more flexibility when creating army lists).

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I am in the same boat at the minute so I decided to add more packs of Grey Hunters and Blood Claws and get creative with them until the new Dex is released. It all goes towards my ultimate aim of fielding a full great company based upon the Warhammer 30k Apoc datasheet, 6 x 10 man Grey Hunter Squads, 2 x 15 man Blood Claw squads and 2 x 5 Man Long Fang units. My current project is 10 Blood Claws using the assault marine box sets for that running/ charging around look. :woot: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168351-in-anticipation-of-new-dex/#findComment-1985613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I am in the same boat sort of. I play 13th Co and not knowing if they will have a list in the new dex and not just a 0-1 choice is leaving me hanging. If I can't play my current army, I will be playing a regular SW army but still not sure what I intend on buying. Vehicles would be a safe bet and I would be able to spend my time till the dex comes out magnetizing options on them in case something weird comes out of the new dex.
