AlphariusOmegon108 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 So guys, I recently had a very happy suprise, and now have some money to spend on this hobby again! I have already assembled quiete a large force of infantry models (40 breachers and 20 tacticals, 30 velatri stormers and 40 lasfire guys) But I have only two tanks in my army! (Apart from 4 contemtors), I have a las vindi and a normal vindicator. What would YOU buy for a army like that if you had 400 pound to spend? (I WILL also buy a mastodon when it comes out, but thats outside of the 400 pounds) Let me know what you guys think! Would love to hear some ideas :D Greetz, -Alex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 How do you feel about CHOOM? Cuz a Glaive is a great centerpice model... As is a Spartan... Or two... If you mainly want tanks, take you're pick, hard to go wrong with the awesome ones we have available.

WolfOfHorus Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Fellblade, what a badass looking model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 hmmm, ... tbh, i would buy something special, not something basic, wait for the basic stuff a few months ;) if you want something imperial, but really cool and different, what's with a Warhound Titan? Or some Knights? if you want to stick with Marines, a Thunderhawk would be 411 pounds, or some Caestus Assault Rams? or a Glaive and some Sicarans?^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's a good question, but a lot of the answers are dependant on what else you have, and whether you want to ceate a concentrated force or whether you're going for something random. If you're looking for something to support your existing marines, then I would say large transports - maybe a Spartan, or a Storm Eagle (depending on HQ choices, Rites of War, etc). Or you could go center-piece and go for a Super-Heavy, like a Glaive or a Falchion. Persoanlly in your shoes I would wait a couple of months for the Mastadon that was previewed at the Open Day a couple of weeks ago.

Charlo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 hmmm, ... tbh, i would buy something special, not something basic, wait for the basic stuff a few months ...THE LADY OF RUMOR TOWER LET'S DOWN HER LONG HAIR OF WHISPERS. REJOICE! Please confirm mk3 for me so I can stop going crazy. Please? Please?!? As for your centerpiece, Glave/ Fellblade is certainly quality, as is the Thunderhawk... Which legion are you running? Because if it's fists, you could get the Hawk and Run it as: Rogal Dorn's customised Thunderhawk Gunship, the Aetos Dios. This ship has Turbo Laser as standard, plus a single Void Shield to protect it, it also has It Will Not Die so can regenerate some of it's hull points and finally it ALSO has a 4+ invulnerable save against missiles, all on top of being a flyer which means you can only snap-shot at it, all for the bargain cost of 600 points - which is actually 320 points CHEAPER than a normal Legion Thunderhawk with a Turbo-Laser. Oh and it doesn't take up your lord of war slot (but Dorn is... :P) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.. I cant even explain how much I hate it) and the glaive.. Meh.. I mean if I do a mastodon as well, I will have no lords of war slots left for a glaive Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Fast moving with pew pew? Sicarans. Sicarans everywhere. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sicarans are probably the best FW armour to date. Deffo fulfil both speed and dakka required. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphariusOmegon108 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 so guys, how about the following: I buy two stormfangs, and convert them into two stormeagles then buy two sicarian, a landraider of sorts AND a Typhon (I dislike spartans) then later when the mastodon comes out I'll buy that as well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Get two Sicarans and a Typhon! The rest? A Primarch perhaps? Some flyers? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311549-what-would-you-buy/#findComment-4130642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 then buy two sicarian Not trying to be too much of a Grammar Knight here, but in the interest of proper tags on your threads should someone search for a specific model or vehicle, it's sicaran with only one i. Your shopping list sounds good, but I'm not sure how you'd convert Stormfangs into Storm Eagles.
