First Purchase


WG Vrox

Recommended Posts

- Well with the posting of the codex summeries and our pre order options, I am both encouraged by the idea that I am not going to have to replace/retool my force and overwhelmed with all the new shiny models that I want.

 

With that said. What will you all be planning to purchase first and why?

 

 

For me I plan to buy at least 1 box of space wolves in PA and 1 box of the new WG TDA models. Will be getting Lukas the Trickster as well as all at least 1 blister of the new WG in PA. Of course the SW Dex and from there study and playtest till I get a solid 1850 point list that I can take to the INDY GT in Jan.

 

I plan to use the new TDA models as HQs and keep my old TDA for WGs. This way the HQs in TDA stand out as being a bit bigger and better posed.

 

So happy that GH come with both bolters and pistols, converting all my models was going to be a pain, now I can just spread out the one or two boxes of new models and give my army a great overall look of unique posses.

 

Anyway that is how one wolf sees the spending of about $300.00 U.S.

I'll probably be getting one box of the SpaceWolf PA package, one box of the termies, see if I can't track down the old Logan Grimnar somewhere cheap, and then finally decide if I like or hate the Lukas & Canis models. One moment I think they're terrible, the other I'm contemplating preordering them both. I will not be getting the PA wolfguard, as I've never liked it.

 

Edit: And of course the Codex!

-Codex

-PA box

-Termies box

 

I'll set about jostling my current list and shifting all-new models into units with some of my older stuff, in order to blend the look around a bit. I have a TDA Rune Priest model conversion I've been working on that I'll probably use Njal's rules for (started out with the FW SW Terminator parts), and give him a TDA bodyguard...

 

I'll wait on buying any character models until the 2nd wave; I'm hoping for a Ragnar re-sculpt.

Probably just the codex and a PA box.

 

Way back when i heard the new dex was coming out i got an old SW battleforce from Warhammer World and have resisted builing it until i know what options we're going to get. Now to see how far i can stretch all those shiny new bits!

I'm looking to get the codex first, then Logan, keep money spare for the battleforce when it comes, and if I have the cash afterwards, the Plastic Wolf Guard in TDA (making my total SW terminators up to 20, so I can field an all terminator army if I'm feeling suicidal (huzzah for special rules!)) Also hoping to get the other special characters and the crazy Wolf Guard with the lightning claws.

 

Oh and there should be parts for 10 Space Wolves per box(Grey Hunters/Blood Claws) and lots of stuff to convert regular marines parts into SW counterparts (Jump packing assault Marines, Devastators into longfangs etc...) and a few special close combat weapons (Claws, Hammers etc...). Probably missed some stuff out though, can anyone else add anything?

Can't decide. Definitely Codex and maybe Njal and a box of PA Wolves. Problem is, i can almost field a full Great Company now. But those new models are so shiny :( Apparently the Black Reach Marines i have left will end up as a small Imperial Fists force.

 

I've got the idea of converting a Wolflord and his retinue, each Wolf Guard styled after a different Norse deity. Thor, Tyr, Heimdall etc.

Here's my list:

 

Space Wolf Squad box

Terminators

Codex

Wolf Guad with Lightning Claws from direct order

Land Raider Crusader

 

The all Wolf Guard army is appealing but I have a way to go to get there, I really don't need the PA models but the bits are too good to pass up and I'll be using some of them to convert up a new model for my Wolf Lord. :( ^_^

Codex, Njarl, Ulric (finally) then a battleforce (which contains scouts from the leaked gw stuff we've seen, it mentioned combining the pack upgrade sprue with the scouts in the battleforce) and probably some termie's as they might not be in our force.

 

Then a Storm, I don't care if we're not allowed, it's being used for apocalypse so it's an ally and will finish my suppression force.

 

Some more dreads would be nice as well.

I will probably be buying 1 or 2 boxes of the PA guys to spread the new guys amog the ones i already have and boost the whole hopefully they fit in well otherwise i have alot of work to do.

 

My second purchase will be some sort of tank to replace my LRE

Codex, Assault Squad and new PA box, and the collectors edition WG with LC's/Wolf Claws and throw a jumppack on him aswell.

 

im really keen to be able to use the Jump pack Blood Claws to go with my fast army.

 

and who knows i might eventually make a Canis list with some wolves and maybe a TDA list with Logan.
