As a slight tangent what is the cheapest 1750 point army that you can buy direct from GW?

Palindrome wrote:As a slight tangent what is the cheapest 1750 point army that you can buy direct from GW?

The answer is always paladins.

Draigo - 275 points $22.25
4 Boxes of Terminators - 1100 points with no upgrades - $200 -

222.25 for 1375. You can easily drop 375 points in upgrades on 20 paladins.

Without going into a complete breakdown of every unit:

Beastmen-3000pts.--$707
Bretonians-3000pts--$535
GreyKnights-3000pts--$949
WordBearers-3500pts-$878
WhiteScars-2200pts--$650

Total--$3719

Worst of all the Scars and Word Bearers are almost unplayable at the moment.

900$ usd when I checked last.*after the price increase. Not including tax. For 3k+ of GW+forgeworld vanilla space marines. Seeing some of you all's collections, make me not feel as bad.

My 1500 point Necron army (not listing upgrades):

Overlord
Royal Court: Despair Cryptek, Destruction Cryptek, Lord

Triarch Stalker
C'Tan

5 Necron Warriors
5 Necron Warriors
20 Necron Warriors

5 Canoptek Scarab Bases

Doomsday Ark
Annihilation Barge

Total cost, using standard Crypteks for both variants and assuming the Overlord is from the Barge kit, but buying kits seperately instead of getting a Battleforce:

£200.50

And what if my army has 7 combi-meltas in it? Do I really have to buy 7 SM Captains even though not a single one is in my list? Also, lets say I converted basic tact marines to sternguard with greenstuff and bits?

I think you're over-thinking it. Buy a pack of meltaguns, chop the melta and add to a bolter.

The only meltaguns on the site are metal. I'll just ignore the extra bits for now and put them in notes at the bottom of this post.

Shrike ($19.25)
Terminator CC Squad ($50)
Terminator CC Squad ($50) (only 2 of these are used)

Missing: 10x Terminator Honors Shoulder pad bits, 1x meltagun bits, 7x combi-melta bits, greenstuff for conversion to sternguard, 1x Plasmagun bit for Las/Plas Conversion

my list

Belial 19.25
Interrogator Chaplain Terminator Armor 21. 50

2 Venerable Dreadnoughts 92.50
2 Drop Pods 74.50


4 Terminator Assault squads 200
2 Tactical Terminator squads 100

3 Land Raiders 222.75

for a total of 730.50

Space Marines (1500 points)

Terminator Chaplain $21.50
Terminator Close Combat Squad $50.00
Land Raider Crusader $74.25
Tactical Squad 2x $74.50
Rhino 2x $74.50
Land Raider $74.25
Predator $57.75
Vindicator $57.75

Total $484.50

Spent under $600 on Beastmen last year.

Haradrim. LOTR what i'd need to get to 600pts

Haradrim Chieftain on horse and foot. $30CAD

Haradrim Commaders *Ewww Finecast* $47.50CAD

Watchers of Karna. $18CAD

So just under $100CAD not including paints and basing...

But it would be well over $800 for a new 40k or WHFB army!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Scratch that, forgot about the second batch of Haradrim Raiders. $35 CAD.

That's $120CAD

This is my 2k Ultramarine army (roughly). I bought most of this second hand off ebay or trading with friends and dear god its lucky I did.


Captain
Libby
20 Tactical Marines
5 Scout
10 Sternguard
3 Razorbacks
2 Preds ( 1 Dakka, 1 Auto/Las)
1 Dread
1 Drop Pod
5 Stormshield Termies
1 Landraider
5 Missile Devos

$1072 Australian Dollars.

Of the top of my head my regular wolf list

5 boxes of hunters/claws (15 claws, 6 hunter times 3, 10 hunters) = 186 USD
1 longfangs = 35 USD
3 razors = 123 USD
1 pod = 37 USD
1 crusader = 74 USD
Total = $455 USD

And i am going to ignore GWs incomplete sets and assume all comes with the variants i need.... If i were to buy this at the "local sanctioned" retailer, it would be at the very least a 40 to 100% on top of that.

For a fun game, you should all change your region to GW Australia and see how much your armies would cost here.

Breathtaking.

I'm wondering how you get 4 Razorbacks with only 3 Tactical squads in the list.

I priced up my Terranwing list if it was run using normal models and got:

Belial and terminator librarian

2x dreadnoughts
scout squad

2x tactical temrinators
1x assault terminators

3x bikes
attack bike
land speeder
stormtalon (yeah, I know, I have a counts-as anyway)

Land raider
vindicator
Stormraven

The list is about 2.5k points and came out at about £400. In reality almost everything is converted, so it might actually be 1.5 to 2x that, but I did get quite a lot of stuff on e-bay to mitigate costs.

Its taken me a year and a half so far to build and part-paint the army, so thats about £25/month on average. Not that expensive (and it will last forever)

well this should be fun to see.

so Daemons about 2000pts

LoC
Masque
Karanak
Changeling
2xtzeentch heralds
3xCrushers
6xFlamers
10xSeekers
10xHounds
Soul Grinder
Demon prince
10xdaemonettes
10xletters
10xhorrors

$995...actually thats not so bad still under a grand, luckily being a thrifty shopper i got it for just about half that price or less...thank god

Thanks GW.

So, I don't have a specific list that I use so I just put in all my stuff.......I have over $2,000 on GK and over $2,500 on Orks. THANKFULLY, all my Orks were well under half retail and trades. Lol

2,000pt Ultramarines

5 Man assault terminators ($50)
Land Raider ($74.25)
Chaplain in terminator armor ($21.50)

10 Man Sternguard, 1 c-melta, fist ($88)
(To reflect my actual squad, this is a sternguard box, tyrannid vets box, and an extra guy)
Librarian ($16)

Ironclad Dred, Hflamer, drop pod ($83.50)

10 Man Tac, MM/M, rhino
10 Man Tac, ML/F, rhino
10 Man Tac, PC/F ($209)

Total $660

Technically I'd need to buy a meltagun for a few bucks more, but I've got a lot of spare bits from the dev box I figure I'd be able to trade for it (or convert).
