Growler67 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The Battle Force box and COdex would be a great foundational items in building an Army/Great Company. After that youshould consider your HQ options.

King Tiger Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 the battleforce and codex is indeed a great starting point, giving you 410pts to start off with, depending on how you kit them out you could get almost 500pts to start playing small games 10 grey hunters 2 plasma guns =160pts 9 blood claws Power fist Wolf guard Power weapon =203pts 5 wolf scouts Melta bombs =100pts drop pod =35pts =498pts no HQ but I doubt people are gonna complain too much if your only starting out, unless there jerks, but there easy to spot and avoid (they usually use marines in blood red armour and complain allot to people who don't listen ^_^ ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182165-if-i-wanted-to-start-an-army-how-should-i-go-about-it/#findComment-2155643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 well instead of the wolf guard you could make him a wolf guard battle leader?

Heimdal Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Personally I would make that two GH packs and buy a seperate Wolf Priest for a simple, yet effective, HQ. That extra GH you will get is good for flexibility as you can model a special weapon on him, giving you the choice to use or not to use him. Then I would flesh out the army with a solid Heavy Support choice (preferably Long Fangs in this edition) and Wolf Scouts as elites. That would bring you closer to a 1000 points list.

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Same way I'd start any army. Make a list. Post it. Get it torn apart. Refine it to whatever degree you wish, whether you want to win games or stick to a theme while remaining competitive. Then buy models. I'd say from the sounds of it the Battle Force has a lot of what you'll need to start, so go for that if you can't wait to get some models. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182165-if-i-wanted-to-start-an-army-how-should-i-go-about-it/#findComment-2155763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
