Assuming that this is Australian money, I would get two Ork battleforces. Yes, they really are that expensive.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Assuming that's £188, I'd get the gaming board and then buy another two SM Tactical Squads.

Practically, it's supposed to be just enough to cover the board, so you could assume a board and half a combat squad.

Funny I see this thread. The local gaming store is having a drawing for a $500 shopping spree tonight. I've got 24 tickets and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyways, I'd start with that IG Box that comes with a Leman Russ, and the Platoon, or something like that. Should round out 2000pts of Guard for me.

Then I'll probably get that new Space Marine assualt box, with the Drop Pod, Vanguard and Sterngaurd squads, and the Thunderfire Cannon. I'd probably get a box each of the Sterngaurd and Vanguard to get 10 man squads of each.

Then I'd buy a Fire Prism, so I can have one for my Eldar army. That would about sum up the $300.

If I win this thing tonight, I'd probably take the left over 200, buy some High Elves, then maybe some IG Tanks and Drop Pods.

They where wiped out with the sail that they had going on tonight, so they said I can come in after they restock. This is what I'm thinking of getting right now.

2 5 man boxes of Sterngaurd
2 5 man boxes of Vanguard
1 Vindicator
2 Blisters of IG Officers
1 Squad of Karskins
1 Hellhound
1 Wraithlord
1 Fire Prism

1 High Elf Prince and Noble
2 5 Man boxes of HE Swordmasters

And the remaining $60 or so will probably be on things like movement trays and stuff for my High Elves.

For $300 I'd buy 5 sets of Black Reach.


Oh wait, I already did.


I guess I'd put the money aside for the new plastic Ork kits and Stompa.

Somewhere in south-central England.

I would buy two Piranhas and a Sniper Drone team, two Black Reach boxes and a bunch of other SM stuff like a Land Raider and some Assault Marines, a couple of other vehicles and a couple of characters. Then I would be able to make an SM army using my old Beakies and Termies added to the new stuff.

I'd take three starter sets.
This gives you two small armies.
I'd expand one of these forces investing the rest of the money.

I would buy a Dark Eldar army and with the remaining money send it to JohnHwang's house with a greeting card.

Now *that* is a clever response!

Well-played!

You know, I haven't played DE since I sold mine off during 3rd Edition. Tactically, it probably would be quite a fun challenge in the current environment.

One thing I will say is be careful with the Kasrkin. Box comes with a Flamer and a Grenade Launcher, neither of which are much use in a Storm Trooper squad, especially when paired with one another. You'll need to get two blisters of Kasrkin special weapons to get yourself a pair of Plasma Guns and Meltaguns. You could probably ditch hte Cadian Officers to get them (and then make yourself some Officers out of plastic Cadians and the bits from the Cadian Tank Accessory sprue (there's an officer on that sprue).

I'd get into Fantasy. I've always wanted to but never made the "jump". Probably buy the hardback rulebook, codex, and a couple of batalion boxes (or an army box if available for under $300). Either High Elves, Dark Elves or mortal chaos.


Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I spent nearly this much the other day, as I said earlier in this thread. Today, my stuff turned up, woot!!!

Two Ork Battleforces,

two Ork Dreadnoughts,

one box of Lootas,

one Meganob,

6 pots of paint.

Interesting bits of Orks I now have:

3 dreads

1 killa kan

3 new trukks

4 old trukks

10 old bikes

6 new bikes

4 meganobz

40+ nobz

5 warbosses

6 warbuggies

2 wartrakks

12 new deffkoptas

2 old deffkoptas

2 kannons

25 Stormboyz

12 Lootas

12 burnas

15+ tankbustas

more rokkits and big shootas than i know what to do with

more slugga and shoota boyz than i know what to do with.

All I need now is some battlewaggons, apoc sized machines like ruzzbot-gargant type stuff, some kommandos and to build some flash gitz.
