This list is a very basic AM list, but as a bonus, it is comprised entirely of the parts in the "Cadian Defense Force" and "Start Collecting" boxed set, so only two (relatively good value) purchases to start.

Good core of hard hitting tanks, able to take out a wide variety of targets, the almost obligatory AM HWS with mortars, and plenty of bubble wrap and orders to keep them all safe from assault while they grinding assault on the enemy. and enough bodies to help secure an objective or two also.

(Leaves out the Commissar, Command squad, Chimera and a heavy weapons team from those boxes, but if you're building a bigger AM army, those'll get used up eventually anyway, and its still better value than buying all the pieces separately)
