So I'd like to see how much each army tends to run up just when getting started. For example

Necrons

2x box of warriors 12 warriors each plus 3 Canoptek scarab swarms each. $72.50
1x box of immortals 5 immortals. $33
1x box of Lychgaurd 5 Lychgaurd. $33
1x Overlord. $19.25
1x Doomsday arc. $49.50

Total $207.25

Now to both save money and have extra models (win freaken win!) you buy the battle force at $115
20 warriors.
5 immortals/5 Death marks.
1 Doomsday arc/Ghost arc
5 Canoptek scarab swarms
Then buy
1x box of Lychgaurd 5 Lychgaurd. $33
1x Overlord. $19.25
Total $167.25 only downside is you get 4 less warriors and one less scarab swarm. Now I'm not sure what the exact points cost is so edit that on here for me if someone can.

The battleforce contains 5 Immortals OR 5 Deathmarks (it's a dual kit), so the difference between the first list and the second list is 4 warriors and a Scarab swarm.

First is 952, second (discounting second lot of immortals / deathmarks) is 885. Haven't added any points for toys on the Overlord.

Thanks for the edit, not a Necron player myself but was looking into it and just wanted to get the post started. Yeah, I coughs the scarab thing already, so not quite as good of a deal lol thanks for informing me of the points man.

You still save enough for an entire other box of warriors, so I'd say it's a good deal :-)

Very true, especially if you buy at a online store and get 20-30% off.

2 bodyguards with twin plas one with velocity tracker and one with drone controller plus 4 guns drones

Stealths, fusion shas'vre with marker light and loc plus velocity tracker, plus both others with locks

I dunno, Tyranids Swarm box, list 170, likely 10 -20% off on sale, a Tyrant..? 90$? Add a box of Warriors, 51$ so around 350 without any discounts? That should give you up to 1250 worth of playable, possibly winnable fun.


HQ: Winged Dakka'rant, Thorax Hive 240

Warriors, x3, Strangle Cannon 100
Termagants, x20 80
Termagants, x20 80
Hormagaunts, x15 75
Hormagaunts, x15 75 (I converted 10 Hormagaunts into Devilgaunts at 8 per, +80 pts)

Gargoyle Brood, x10 60 pts
Dakkafex, 150

that's 860, plus 80 for the Devilgaunts, 940 60 points for upgrades, or spend 25$ for a Thrope....(I'd just put Glands on the Hormagaunts, Toxic runs 45 per Brood, 1000 even. just lose some Devils...)

You can make a fairly solid 1,250 point TAC list out of the SM strikeforce box for $225. It would probably cost more to put together a 1,000 point list out of non-bundled boxes.
