Jt3n Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 So I'm just now getting home from my overnight job, it is 7AM, I'm not too tired yet and browsing GW website I get a 'lil upset seeing all these different battleforces... Where is BA's!? Maybe I just want to buy jump marines cheaper, I dunno. But with all the different BA armies out there... what would be included in this fictional kit? Jump pack marines for sure, 20 maybe? or 10 ASM and 5 DC? B) I'd imagine there would be a Furioso in there... Baal Predator? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 10 Assault Marines. 5 death company Razorback. And maybe 1 priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CainTheHunter Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 According to the GW rules of marketing there must be at least 1 non-useful item in the Battleforce. So I'd expect 5 scouts or 3 bikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It would need to contain a DC box and a Sang Guard box - since thats where we draw our bits from. Then, maybe a either tactical squad and or a regular assault squad and a baal. maaaaaybe a rhino- but thats already too much. Id say all of the above minus the baal.

Id say all of the above minus the baal. that would be a rather large body count for a marine battleforce then. I think they'd give us at least 1 vehicle though.

JamesI Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I would assume it would have a vehicle, so I'll say a tac squad, a DC box and a rhino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Devlonir Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'd say: 10 man Assault Squad 5 man DC Drop Pod Furioso Dreadnought Replacing vs normal box: Tact -> Assault Assault -> DC Rhino -> Drop Pod Scouts + Combat squad -> Furioso It has 1 'useless' item in the Drop Pod, as most BA's prefer fast rhinos and razorbacks.

Well I never got to see or participate in the old discussion. This board needs a few odd topics like this.... I didn't say anything when there was 2,000 topics regarding Mephiston! :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealadin Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Coming from someone with Space Wolves as their chapter thats a pretty ironic statement. Last time I checked IG and SW are the two most feared and highly rated armies. That being said your tears are amusing. I'm guessing: 5 Assault Marines 5 Death Company 5 Scouts or Dev Squad Dreadnought/Razorback They won't release a battleforce without a vehicle of some kind this edition, and a dread is probably pushing it. Like someone else also said, there needs to be something useless. I can't see it happening TBH, and I can order frm an online retailer and save 40% of the RRP here and get exactly what I want so its a non issue.

Drachnon Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'd hope for a librarian + 2x assault marines and a baal pred since those are all things BA players would want to field. But since those probably sell well enough to the BA community GW would release the battle force with a captain tactical marines and a whirlwind.

Brother-Captain Sicarius Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 based on how the wolves got it, i would say somethin like: 20 DC (they can after all be made to both DC, Tac. squad or assault squad...)(5 of these migt be sang guards instead...) (wolves got 15-20??? wolves in PA, for blood claws, grey hunters or wolf guards...) a transporter of some kind (RB or rhino, would be my gues...) or a baal pret... thats my gues anyway...

Bat33.1 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Pah! Who wants vehicles? :D I'm building a full jumpy list so lots of assualt marines would be good with some DC thrown in. Useless item termies cos they are too slow :) Oh and how come we have to pay £20 for five figures over 2 sprues when SW get a box of ten figures and four sprues for the same money - well at least until the price hike came in :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Because our Sprues don't involve Jump Packs? And most of our sprue is heads, a fair few which most people loathe. Jump Packs have always been more expensive, we just get copies of the same sprue, don't think there's that in the DC box. As to what I'd put in a BA Battleforce... 5 Death Company 10 Assault Marines Razorback Effectively giving you a free Razorback, which is about the saving battleforces are making these days.

Bat33.1 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Yes JP's are more expensive - praise be to GW and Sanguinius - but in terms of the amount of raw plastic in each box the DC sprues weight 77g the SW Pack sprues over 140g I can't give an accurate weight for the SW sprues as they have had a fair few parts clipped off. So we get half the plastic for the same price - one way to increase profits GW... Also there are quite a few bits on the DC sprue that will not be used by all and the Sang Guard sprues have even less bits that I want to use as I'm building Flesh Tearers. I'm still not quite sure on GW's approach witht he Sang Guard - nice figures if you like that sort of thing but in game terms they are not going to be popular with tourney players due to the points cost so many players will not even buy the figures.
