Grim Dog Studios Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Apologies if this isn't really the correct section of the forum, but I thought I'd rather seek the advice of my Ultramarine brothers as seen as you play the same army. Me and my friends are visiting Warhammer World this weekend and I'm looking at spending some ££ at the FW store, but I'm not entirely sure what to get that fills any gaps in my currently small collection. I've so far only played a few games of 8th (never played before despite being in the hobby for 15 years), so don't have a real gist of my army fully yet. My group plays Power Level, normally at 100 PL but we have plans of playing up to 150 PL on the odd occasion. This is what my current collection stands at (mostly built but not all): Captain Two Lieutenants (one with JP) Chaplain Librarian Apothecary 2 x 10 Man Sternguard Squads (One with two plasma guns, the other two heavy bolters) 5 Cataphractii Terminators Contemptor Dreadnought with Kheres assault cannon 3 x 10 man tac squads, ML and plasma guns and combiplas + power sword on sergeants Regular Landraider 2 x Rhinos Sicaran Battle Tank My current plan was to buy either a Leviathan Dreadnought or a Sicaran Venator, as my price range I'm willing to spend is about £80. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I don't want to spend £80 on something I end up not using very often!

Frater Cornelius Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Heard good stuff about the Leviathan Dread, so that guy might be worth considering. I'd recommend at least one Grav Flux arm and then get another ranged arm and one melee arm to play around with. M@verik115 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@verik115 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I am honestly torn between the 2, but if you have to choose then I would go leviathan. Both have their pro's and con's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Arias Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Go for the Leviathan mate! All the weapon options look pretty good in 8th so I would say its rule of cool for loadout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeltaRange Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 How about a Chaplain Dreadnought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imren Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 consider the fire raptor too. Its very good against ínfantry and rhino-based vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 LEVIATHAN! Grav and snippy claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Dog Studios Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Many thanks for all the replies and suggestions all! Seems like the Leviathan wins it, now to just decide on what weapon options I'd like to start with. Going to magnetize him and eventually get them all but only going to start out with two. How about a Chaplain Dreadnought? Whilst the rules for him are pretty good, I'm just not a massive fan of the boxnaught. I suppose if I do end up wanting one down the line and could convert a Chaplain Contemptor. consider the fire raptor too. Its very good against ínfantry and rhino-based vehicles Little bit pricier than what I'm wanting to spend, and I've heard the raptor and storm eagle are absolute pains to put together. Don't think my hobby skills are up to that yet haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Shine Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Kheres-equipped Contemptor Mortis Dreadnoughts are quite nasty too. Also twin assault cannon turrets for Razorbacks if you really like assault cannons. Grim Dog Studios 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Breaker Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Kheres-equipped Contemptor Mortis Dreadnoughts are quite nasty too. Also twin assault cannon turrets for Razorbacks if you really like assault cannons. Second the twin Kheres Contemptor, but I would suggest just getting the LRC Sprue for the Razorback turrets. Unless you really like FW turret look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you really like FW turret look. If you can, absolutely. When I was looking very recently it was cheaper to buy Forgeworld rather than the Land Raider Crusader turrets, given ridiculous eBay/bitz site pricing.

Imren Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) I suggest getting the forgeplanet twin assault cannons. I think they look way better and more "realistic" than GW and FW, with the ammo feed underneath and no barrel guide bar reaching the muzzle (real life gatlings don't have that). I tried two of them for my Razorbacks. very happy with them, good cast, and relatively fast delivery (5-6 days from Poland to Sweden): http://store.forgeplanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_69_81&product_id=52 Edited October 2, 2017 by Imren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also twin assault cannon turrets for Razorbacks if you really like assault cannons. I do have plans to get the Kheres contemptor at some point, wanted for one for a while! Didn't end up going to warhammer world in the end, so I instead ordered the Leviathan from the FW online store! Marcus Arias 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Arias Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I do get excited when people buy Leviathans, I am planning on having 3 though not all in the same army! Grim Dog Studios 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the sprues that GW sells direct still, so I took that option and had it shipped to my local GW. Was cheaper than FW, at least here in the States.

Yeah, You can get almost four and a half sprues paying the US price ($19.75 USD each) for what you pay converted from NZD here in New Zealand (converts to $28 USD each!) which makes Forgeworld versions of units often about the same price, or sometimes a cheaper alternative to buying Games Workshop plastic!
