Flint13 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 This thread is going to destroy my savings account. You must be new to 30k. You still have a savings account.... You know, I was thinking about this... Games Workshop gave you the option to buy an entire space marine chapter for $12,000 or so. Now that GW and FW are merging... I could see a Legion sales package happening. FW just need to get Alan Bligh to sign it and toss a "one off" model sculpt in there for your primarch. It may be $55,000, but you know somewhere, somehow, there's a guy sitting on cash that would buy it.

infyrana Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It's all very well having a legion worth of FW mini's... but who in their right mind has the time and energy to sit and clean, build, convert, and paint them all... I struggle with what I have (ok, so there's quite a few models unmade in my collection still) ... I guess there is always one who's insane enough to do it ... but I'm struggling with 3k worth atm, let alone 30k points work of 30k minis :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287288-going-forgeworld-sell-me-the-horus-heresy/page/4/#findComment-3605304 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hah, 30k points wouldn't even start to net you a legion. I just did the math. Assuming *only* tactical squads (as in we're talking basic bodies, no vehicles, support praetors or even the first upgrade) it would run around 125,000 points to run the Thousand Sons legion, which is the smallest documented legion. That's 53,300 british sterling, or approximately $89,000 USD. Fun times ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287288-going-forgeworld-sell-me-the-horus-heresy/page/4/#findComment-3605311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MordentHex Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 depthcharge - correct thank you, the Deathshroud, but they don't count towards troops (HQ command squad or elite options yes) - should have mentioned that more specifically Oh wow, it really goes to show how much I have looked at the standard terminator entry (which obviously I haven't), they also have Implacable Advance, wow, I can't believe I didn't bother reading that... Lol don't worry. The shame should be on me. I read Betrayal like the Gospel when I'm on the throne. You do that too? Throne reading is the best, until your leg goes numb.. Ohh my god I need to become a crack whore prostitute sell my body and fund this endeavour. Your shamless, and we all know you already are one! Don't bother with the 40k unless it's conversion parts for a heresy army Yes, no reason to downgrade unless you fancy something for the conversion options. Don't be a slut like Jaspcat, choose 1 or the other and stick to it.

Sothalor Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I will say this about diving off the deep end into Forgeworld: In my experience, the miniatures frequently require significantly more prep work than regular ol' GW stuff, especially the new plastic kits. I have never gotten a FW piece that did not require a good deal of cleaning, mould line removal, straightening warped pieces, gap filling, you name it. I think their sculpts are good enough that I don't really mind, but just be aware that you will probably be looking at a good deal more prep on a piece-by-piece basis.

Relic of Dorn Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 FT Knox is empty sorry Brother. Only according to the same conspiracies that say there is intelligent life serving in our government. Not really. It's been slowly getting more and more empty since the 70's when the US went off of the gold standard and started printing money that wasn't backed by gold.
