So, since the Meta is now explicitly Battery Detachment + 2 Real Detachments, or 2 Batteries and 1 Real (because for some reason everyone I know wants to use Beta + organised play rules for some bizarre reason) I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of the cheapest Batteries for your armies so you can rake in that delicious CP.

This post will be split into two parts: The batteries you'll actually use (so the best for IMPERIUM, CHAOS etc) since the Beta Battle Brothers rule prevents those keywords being used in a single detachment but not for linking multiple detachments and then the Batteries for each sub-faction in a zip file (since the post is gonna be obscenely long already).

Each Battery also has two versions, the 2nd is if you decide to take two battery detachments, due to the 0-3 limit on HQs the 2nd detachment will be slightly more expensive. Named Characters were used if they were the cheapest applicable option.

Furthermore, I tried to avoid Index entries and Index wargear options for any faction that has a codex. This mainly affects Techmarines who can no longer drop their power axe and become cheaper than Lieutenants.

If you notice a mistake please feel free to tell me. I will keep this post updated as new armies/arbitrary kneejerk changes happen.
