Hi guys

Looking at starting 30k from the betrayal box. Having trouble deciding on legion but thinking imperial fists, raven guard or salamanders.

What should I be getting to add to the bac boxset? Just struggling to find answers.

Thanks

the answer all depends on what legion you go with and how you want to build it

Imperial Fists:
Either
a) Templar brethren and Sigismund and go with 1st company elite
b) Pollux and breachers
c) More marines and terminators to build a "core" of your army

Raven Guard:
things with jump packs and their legion specific snipers probably
or, reread Imperial fist "C"

Salamanders:
a) storm sheild terminators and pyroclasts and your primarch
b) reread Imperial fist "C"

I am presently working on a series about just this topic...

here is the first post for it

I just scanned Forgeworld and saw this:

basically Calth +30 Ravenguard Chest Pieces, Shoulder Pads, and heads. They have them for other Legions as well.

A second Calth Box would go a long way to filling out your army.
