Hey folks!!

Today I traded for and bought some 3,000 points of Necrons. Heh.

I'm also planning on making a DIY Space Marine army that can try out different flavors and chapters. Yes, they will probably be pink.

I bought a razorback, two dreadnoughts (AoBR), 20 tactical marines....including one missile launcher, one multi-melta, one flamer.

I'm flavoring Blood Angels and Space Wolves (obviously) for when I do bring out the marines, which means I'll be vehicle heavy.

Aside from the single razorback and two dreadnoughts....I need to flesh out vehicular threats. I have $229 USD remaining to spend. I was thinking about getting a few razorbacks, and using them as rhinos by taking the gun off, but I'm not sure if they do that or not. I'll probably need a couple predators. I heard that I can buy Landspeeders for cheap on e-bay.

But with $229 left to spend in a GW account, and sitting in my shoes, what would you buy? Suggestions welcome, I'm on "Day One" of starting a Space marine army.

A Taq squad, and then a predator. If cash to spare scouts

NO on the preadator if he wants to do SW. yes on pred if he wants to do BA.

I have 20-25 tactical marines; not sure I need to buy more. If I do need more, I'd rather buy them one-off with the ones I need.

They do. Neither the Rhino top doors nor the panel that holds the turret require glue to remain in place.

i'd say if BA Baal preds, if SW Dreadnought weapon sprus

Yea, I'd say your good on your marines... if Ebay isn't cheap enough you can always try the War store, they have some good deals on basic vehicle sprues, for example you could pick up a rhino for 15 dollars missing just the weapon mount.

You will probably want a librarian in Termie armor with a SS. best frakking HQ in the SM codex behind Vulkan.

10 assault terminators.

a couple of Sanguinary priests for your BA side. one should have Terminator armor so he can bang around with them(FNP and 2+/3++ is awsome)


a Furioso Librarian(maybe a Venerable/Ironclad dred kitbash)

3 Vindicators for you BAs(move 12" and drop the Pie)

SWs need BCs, lots of BCs. BC horde.

A devastator box for the fact that they provide you with a bunch of heavy weapons. And a PW for some odd reason.
