Broke open the piggy bank and went to the FLGS to pick up: 6 razorbacks, 3 dreads, 6 strike squads, coteaz, draigo, and 3 terminator squads. Happy next several birthdays to me!

**Miraclefish**

Jeebus. How many points is that then?

**Smashotron**

You will never field all this stuff in any normal reasonable game..

I want to be able to experiment with various builds. The shop owner was disappointed I didn't take two dreadknights and two stormravens.

**a small waagh**

You are going to need more than the one pot of paint you have there....

**Alairan**

Good lord. And I thought my purchase of Codex, 4 Strike Squads, 3 Terminator Squads and a Dread Knight was a lot. o.o

All of us wish we had more money. Except I put my money in a bank and then go and find grey knight stuff for cheaper from people that quit 40k because they got beaten by some people.

Not to be posting a bitter anti-bandwagoning or anything, but an image from a undisclosed thread:

Oh, if only the Infinity week sales were on again next week.

**NoBaconz4You**

Holy...! That is a lot, better get making and painting sharpish!

**Brother SRM**

You best have an airbrush.

**dakotam1**

How Much did that cost???????????

**MechaEmperor7000**

You are some kind of crazy, or just won the lottery.

That costs about $734 before taxes in US terms. Oh disposable income, you so wacky.

**Slarg232**

Have fun being swamped on parts that you will most likely lose during the month it takes you to put all that together.

**Inquisitor_Dunn**

I cried a little at the beautiful site of those boxes. Of coarse I picked up 3 razorbacks, ironclad, attackbike, predator, librarian, and a drop pod for my marines last month, so new stuff for now. Except my FW order next month....

**TheMuffinMan98**

Holy crap cousin, you're gonna have a long couple of years paintin that, ya! Lol

**quietus**

F%$#@ Yes! Mine is Comin !!!

**purplefood**

And here's me planning to pick up 1 box for the parts...
I need to think bigger...

Strike squads with cannon = 110 pts
termie squads with cannon = 225
Dreads with 2 auto cannons + ammo = 135
HB back + ammo = 50

300 for transports
405 for dreads
660 for strikes
675 for termies

Without HQs that is 2040, but that is assuming 9 troop choices. OBV he probably isn't running all the same time, but it is nice having the option to switch in termies, paladins, purifiers ect. Its actually a really good purchase for making 1750-2000 pt lists with options for changing it up a bit. Other than Draigo, everything will be use quite frequently.

I think I will use this shopping list as the basis for what I recommend for people wanting to start GKs. That and 3 pairs of autocannon arms

**nosferatu1001**

Bought 2 termie boxes, 2 assault termie boxes (so i can run some more hammers), chaplain in termie (MOrdrak), vindicaire and 2 dreadknights

Thankfully other half put some money in as anniversary present!

Oh, and i have to have it painted for May 15th....go go gadget easter bank holidays + 3 days "real" holiday to give myself 11 days off

Exactly, I want a few 1750 lists. I forgot, there's a terminator librarian in there as well

Draigo is my generic grand master. Where do I get the autocannon arms? Forgeworld? Anywhere else? I'm also magnifying a few of the purifiers/strike squads/interceptors so I can experiment with weapon loads.

"Show Mat Ward, how much you dislike his Codex writing," they said.
""Vote with your wallet," they said.
Well, the voting is done it seems and Mat was elected supreme writer of Codices.

Thus proving my point that Rules and models>Fluff. Honestly, I've never seen a GW release weekend sell out as fast as GKs did.

I will admit, I caved, but not THAT much(I only got as much as I did due to an error on GeeDubbs part).

Well I for one am abstaining from anything new, can't bring myself to fund Ward's continuing rampage.

The FW arms will always look better, IMO.
