Hey, folks.

I'm looking to get back into 40k...I haven't played since before 7th Edition came out. I've still got plenty of DA, DE and Nids to finish painting but I really like the look of the AdMech/ Skitarii models. They look fantastic!

Happily, I have £100 of store credit with an online retailer

The Start Collecting! Skitarii Box would seem like a no brainer for the £40 that I could get it for, but what would folks recommend I spend the other £60 on?

I don't have codexes for either AM or Skitties, so I suspect I would need to pick up one or both (I know the SC! S box comes with a formation but I don't think it has the rules for the models. Could be wrong.)

Would it be worth picking up two of the Start Collecting Boxes or would it be better to grab some other boxes instead?

Thanks and apologies for the rambling.

Thank you for the replies.

The store I have the credit with doesn't have the Maniples in stock so that isn't an option, sadly.

@HoundsofDemos: Yes, that seems like a good way to ease myself back into the game.

@ME7K: Ah, thanks for the tip on the Knight. There do seem to be some other stores around in the UK that still have the Skitty Maniple bundle but I'll have to see how quickly I can get more funds.

My first purchases then are:

Both Codexes and two Skitarri Get Started! Bundles. That takes me a little bit over my £100 but seems like a good springboard.

I've made a note of all the suggestions for future purchases, however. Thanks again, guys.

Well I would prefer to run AdMech and Skitarri as 'one army' but from what I understand there is sethomg of an issue with Transports if I go that route.

Isn't Cult part of the AdMech Codes ?

I'm interested in both AdMech and Skitarii so I'm sure I will find a use for the second guy.

I think he can go with the Robots, for one. I think lol
