So imagine you're in a gw store and you have £150 in your pocket, what would you buy?

No "I'd leave and order online" answers please, I have gift vouchers left over from Last Christmas that are nearly expired and I'm stumped

What armies do you have, or are you looking to start? Personally I'd wait until the Imperial Knight comes out in a couple weeks and grab one of those along with some terrain and paint.

Give me £150 for use only in store... besides paints I need it'd probably be more Boyz, Bikers & a few Stormboyz.

I'm pretty much out of projects, Iv reached saturation and feel I need to get them done before moving onto new things

More orks would be good potentially, but kinda waiting on a new book

Paints are all good, I got an ultimate paint set last year that's nicely stocked

Scenery is an option, but really need a gaming table next (space rules that out)

The knight titan does look good, but surely won't be £150

Two knights!

(That aren't titans )

The only GW products I use these days are their brushes, so probably about 40-50 brushes I guess.

One of each brush 35 ish
Special effect paints 20 ish
Knight titan 75 Ish


20 left, the titan book maybe?
3 issues of warhammer visions?

Or maybe a new project could be good, codex and battleforce is about 100, leaving 50 for a hq and something cool

Get a load of fantasy boxed sets and kitbash an inquisitor gang.

Ooh a that could be cool, some of the fantasy plastic single figures are perfect for it

I would 150 pounds worth of Gaunts, or failing that more big grieblies for my Nids.

If you're not sure what you want then grab a megabox/army bundle like the eldar wraith army, or storming boxes.
If you split these and sell them on eBay you should get your money back to spend whenever you want and on whatever you want.
If not that then just make sure you buy something! Bnib kits tend to swap at rrp with one another, so pick something popular and make sure not to buy older kits that are soon to be usurped.

In regards to waiting for the new Ork book, you could still stock up on boyz, just grab a few boxes of normal boyz and store them away till the new book hits, them use your bits and what not to convert as needed.

Lucky you though with those vouchers! I'd go to town on those.

Or just buy anything, as if it is unopened a GW store will let you exchange for new product at face value, even without a receipt, even if it wasn't bought from them (don't tell them it wasn't though!)

Two Knight Titans.

Probably a mix of Dwarf Gyros and the new Knights (not titans) if the vouchers last that long

After going over my GK I would more likely buy more Paladins

Sell them to me! Then my wife won't be able to stop me getting more projects to not finish!

I'd save a bit more and buy a Citadel Battle Board.

Otherwise it would be lots of random tanks to loot for my Orks,

ORKS!!! Lots and lots. Can never have to many haha! More dakka!

2 predators, a thunderfire cannon and a Razorback so I can finish my first 750pt army.

you could always use the money to buy me the codex's I'd like ... the new Nids one, cost of it plus sending here to NZ would be cheaper than me buying it here ... .... or better yet stock up on spray paint and stuff for yourself

Your space issues kill what would have been my suggestion - the scenery is the closest thing that GW has to a reasonably priced series of products.

After that... paints, brushes, and flock maybe?

Not my favorite paints, but they're okay.

Sometimes their brushes are good, sometimes not.

But, yeah, if it were not for space I would suggest scenery.

Sorry not to be more help.

The Auld Grump

What does that amount of money get you now-a-days? A tactical squad maybe?

Walks outside uses his smartphone and orders from a discount store.

2 Titan Knights.

Well, I'd take Necrons battle force, 70 pounds, Codex, 20 pounds, and two Night Scythes, 55 pounds.
After selling the Ghostark at ebay, I'd get one or two Annihilation Barges.

Can you use them on forgeworld stuff sent to the store? It is the same company.

Some terrain for WHFB.

If I wasn't pressed to continue building armies I already had, I'd probably pick up the Dark Elves or new Dwarves starter box and get into WHFB, maybe drop the rest on the codex and new paints if I needed them for the scheme. Anything left over, uhhhhhhh maybe more units for that army I guess?

I'd save it all for the Orks release. Gotz ta buy all dose pretty new models! (oh please let there be Plastic MANz)
