So I have the ability to get the IG super heavy shadowsword (Str D ap2 large blast) for $100. The thing is, that and the stormlord is all it comes with. I could pay another $50 to get the new kit, which includes all 8 varients (and I am great at magnetization). However, my current army would only run the shadowsword varient (and maybe the baneblade once in a blue moon). Thing is though, if I spend an extra $50 on top of the $150, I could get a baneblade as well. Of course I couldnt use both in non apoc game (I dont play apoc).

So what should I get:
1. Shadowsword- $100, it is what I will use mostly anyway
2. 8 Varient kit- $150, always nice to have all the options.
3. Shadowsword and Baneblade- $200, if you are spending an extra $50, might as well spend another $50 and get both.

Thanks in advance!

Hmm....I'd be seriously tempted by the shadowsword and baneblade option, but if you're going to only be running one I'd go with the 8 way kit for maximum options. You never know how rules could be re-done in the future, and suddenly that (insert variant here) that nobody has becomes the new OP. It could theoretically save you $50 in the long run if you ever had to buy a new kit.

Update: I had the option to get a shadowsword and baneblade for $155 and caved. Got both now!

Yay! Now paint them!
