Starter Army Lists for each 40k Race with Costs!
This article is going to present beginning players with army-lists for each Warhammer 40k race. This will be an ongoing article which will be updated as frequently as possible in order to reflect the ever evolving game which we all love, 40k. With that said, each army-list presented here has also been posted on the Dakka-dakka forums to be “stream-lined” aka ripped apart! Through the debating and discussion, each army list hopefully encompasses the “All-Comers” idea.
This articles main intent is to allow beginning players a place to start from. It is here to allow them to save some money while still enjoying the game of Warhammer 40k. Now I must admit that each army-list is built about the “All-Comers” idea, so no list will be tailored to any such opponent, so expect to lose sometimes! This article will also post rough pricing (USD $) of each army-list. I will probably post the cost based off of the GW site, as well as a “used” pricing. The “used” pricing will be lower, but will take into account discounts, prices of used models, and such as found via the forums or sites like Ebay.com. Just remember that the used prices are rough estimations! The prices will be attached to each army-list. The GW pricing will be the price if each item was bought seperately, unless the offered GW battleforce offers a decent discount. If the Battleforce or Assault on Black Reach sets have been used to calculate the GW price, I will include the reference next to the price like so, i.e. GW: $XXX.XX (AoBR, DV) or GW: $XXX.XX (Battleforce).
This article will be updated as frequently as possible. It is the hope that eventually each race will have an army list which has made it through the internet discussion crucible, and proven to be efficient and cost effect for any new beginning player, as if cost-efficiency and Warhammer 40,000 could even go together! HA!
