JamesI Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Based on my preferences, I'd look for units like: Vindicators Attack bikes Devestators Land Speeders Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230256-what-next/#findComment-2765989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shan vener Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 yeah i've been thinking about a dev squad with 2 lascannons, 2 plasmacannons, power fist, plasma pistol, with the obiglitary 5 meat shields. although does any one think that some jump pack DC are a good idea Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230256-what-next/#findComment-2766411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Jump pack DC are too expensive... If you want DC either go with the super cheap route of a rhino or the more expensive but amazing option of a stormraven and team them up with lemartes and a DC Dread.

shan vener Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 actually i use a land raider redeemer for DC transport, although should i buy a second stormraven, a BA battle force, or a dev squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230256-what-next/#findComment-2766436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 actually i use a land raider redeemer for DC transport, although should i buy a second stormraven, a BA battle force, or a dev squad I would say a stormraven or the devs, sack the BA battleforce. I would go for the raven if it's DC you want cos it's the only real way to get lemartes in there and he's potentially lethal + a DC Dreadnaught thrown into the mix will annihilate your opponent.

shan vener Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 that's probably good advice, any other suggestions for what i should possibly get next Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230256-what-next/#findComment-2766459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Depends what you want really.. A second Baal predator is a really good idea as they are great in pairs! Other than that maybe stenguard and a drop pod? That's what I'm planning on getting soon but I think I'm gonna paint them up as death watch and make them counts as stenguard.

shan vener Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 i think i'll go with sternguard they're more mobile then devs, although i did read that topic and i was thinking about doing that (death watch). well i guess this is the new shopping list land raider achilles (games day) sternguard squad sanguinary priest drop pod (maybe, that or use the stormraven) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230256-what-next/#findComment-2766488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The best way to build a squad of stengaurd is to use a tactical squad and you can build combi weapons from a bolter and a hand flamer or infernos pistol etc! You can buy metal stenguard models but it's your choice really. What's the land raider achillies?

1Drop Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I had a brief look on FW and seem tons of LR variants. JamesI, if I was to get one, what would you say is the best one?

JamesI Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 For normal land raiders, the Crusader is overall the best I think. I don't know the FW versions well enough to advise Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230256-what-next/#findComment-2767292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shan vener Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 ok guys thanks for all the feed back, however now i have a new problem. yesterday i bought the grey knight codex to start it as a second army (just gonna let that sink in ;) ) while i was there i also bought a box of termies and crowe. now i've decided that my last two purchases (for a while) for my BA army will be sternguard and an achilles but im not sure on what to do here, i.e. should i buy another box of GK termies or save for the achilles (don't want to pay FW shipping, games day = perfect opportunity) so can you help me?

skawolf Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I thought the achilles couldn't be taken by blood angels? I haven't heard anything since they first came out though. Anyway, I like 10 sternguard, combi melta x8 + meltax2, in a drop pod and break into combat squads when you hit the ground between two heavy tanks (but I am usually playing against I-guard so this is easy). So the plastic components to make a cool stern guard unit and a drop pod are my vote as to what you should get next (or last, or whatever it is you are doing now) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230256-what-next/#findComment-2768639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shan vener Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 i think that i'm not going to get the raider for two reasons ($90 plus the impaerial armor book) so i think i'm going to get a sternguard squad and then to truly begin my GK.
