Hey all, I'm working on my 2,000 point list. I have 500 points now and they are almost painted (will post pics). I'm trying to decide what to buy and oh wow I didn't know what I was doing before.
I've narrowed it down between two lists, one focusing on close combat, one with a mix of shooting and combat. Which is better?
