Charlo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just a fun topic stemming from the fact I need Drop Pods but have instead bought: A Sanguinor Some Sang Guard Seth Old School BA captain Too many mk1 tanks to mention And a Deredeo Dread. I almost bought a Sicaran too today... So fellow scions of the Angel, what have you bought for your hobbies, even though you actually need something else?

LutherMax Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've got a whole chest of grey plastic stuff I bought and don't really 'need'. Mostly things I just wanted to paint before I actually started playing the game. I'm trying to only buy stuff I need now, but it's hard :D I also need more drop pods - drop pods are awesome.

Sanguine_Blood Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm thinking I should pick up at least 2 more drop pods, which would give me 5... I've been running 3 now pretty consistently lately and when I've been making lists I come to that spot where i have to start using rhinos/backs lol... But... instead I've bought myself a Sicarian... Librarian with force staff.... A vanguard squad.... a scout squad... So yeah...

xmercx Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Guess this would only really be an issue for folks who play regularly. I think I have managed one game since 7th dropped. I just get whatever i think looks like it would be fun to paint for the most part :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4153047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threefiddy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I have this problem but more with painting have just finished the last of my 5 drop pods had them for ages! It's more of a I'd rather paint something I like instead of something I need.

Charlo Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Drop pods: the literal worst thing to spend your time, money and effort on but one of the best things in the game!

CaptainHelion Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Similarly, I need more droppods. More vanguard veterans, two or three squads of tactical's and attendant razorbacks, and probably another librarian. Instead, I've been buying The Hobbit miniatures fairly exclusively for a few months now.

Paikis Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I need to build and paint the dreadnaught, 2 razorbacks, scout squad, assault squad and whirlwind I already have... But I just bought a Sicaran... and 5 Sanguinary Guard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4153177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebs_evo7 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I need another two pods but have just bought sternguard and a librarian instead. This week I'm buying bikes instead and then I'm planning on allying in some guard for cheap dakka. Need two pods though haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4153704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Drop pods: the literal worst thing to spend your time, money and effort on but one of the best things in the game! Agree with this statement whole heartedly. Pain in the backside to build, but they are great in game. I've got 1 built and painted and 1 still on sprue... I've got such a backlog of things to paint, that I'm determined not to buy anything else until I've made some headway. The only things on my radar are the plastic HH marines set when it drop and the FW BA upgrade kits, I'll be buying them when they are released.

Sviar Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'm trying to only buy stuff I need now, but it's hard :D Haha :D, for me it's sometimes too hard. I have two different LRs, and I only use one (if any) in a game. But since I bought these awesome Blood Angles LR doors and front from FW, I have to buy another LR as soon as my sallary arrives. Hopefully I have time to get it in for the Death Company challence :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4153978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I finally got one drop pod today. Woohoo! Only need about 4 more.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4154098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I have 4 drop pod currently, but I'm working my way towards 7. I also "need" another 15 Vanguard Vets, a Command Squad and a third Storm Raven so I can run some of the less lousy BA detachments. So naturally I spent the last of my money on a Sicarian. >_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4154287 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebs_evo7 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Anyone else just trawl ebay looking for already made and painted BA pods?

Charlo Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Anyone else just trawl ebay looking for already made and painted BA pods? Got one that way so far I trawl for any pods, problem is I never want to pay more than about £18 including postage as I can get a new one for £16 from Dark sphere in London, but that includes the cost of a train ticket. So I see the extra £2 as a "building and undercoat" tax :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4154491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Jeez. I have to pay $64 a pod here. Granted, exchange rates and so forth, but damn. I'm getting shafted.

Ovidius Incertus Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 LOL. I'm not even going to try and think about this topic, since what I buy and what I need are two raaaaaaaadically different things.

LutherMax Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Another problem for me is I don't always know what I need. I read up on what works for people and try something new but by the time I finish whatever I was building / painting before, buy / build / paint the new thing, a new 'dex is out and it got nerfed :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312695-what-you-needs-vs-what-you-buy/#findComment-4155885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Oh for Sanguinius' sake! I just can't help myself... Just bought a CAESTUS ASSAULT RAM. Who needs pods when you can just use a ridiculous flyer amirite? (I did also manage to get one pod too...) Just found out that the bloody thing is a fast attack choice. Holy hell that rocks.

Charlo Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Only ten, that's all it can take - but it ignores bulky so could be ten terms! And even then, it's the general consensus that it cannot transport units with Jump Pack's (even though it says it can transport ten models regardless of the model's type) and most of my DC have packs. Considering some Vanguard Veterans, Mephiston and a Priest to go int it but otherwise unsure...

LutherMax Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Ah it's 10 capacity, I was thinking of that big FW land raider! If it ignores bulky you should be able to pack jump troops in, maybe email FW and ask?

Charlo Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Ah, the Spartan Tank! Yeah that thing is a monster. Multiple people have and the best they usually get is "decide amongst your gaming group or roll off on it!" the wording of "type" leads me to believe maybe, but it depends whether type refers to "infantry/ jump infantry/ jet infantry" etc or "normal /bulky/ very bulky" Oh well, any brothers made some mad purchases recently?
