http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net IG army regardless. It will be WWI themed, meaning gas masks, basic greyish, bleak color scheme, and lots of barbed wire and mud on bases. The models will be very muddy in appearance, and I plan on using some of GW's new texture paints for this. It will be probably a mixture of parts of Cadians, Krieg, and Armageddons, but so far there is no main uniform for them. Anyeay, here's the list. It will be large enough for Apoc battles.

10+ infantry squads with various weapons choices

2 Chimeras

5 Rough Rider squads

2 Heavy Bolters

3 Lascannons

2 Leman Russ Eradicators

2 Leman Russ Demolishers

2 Leman Russ Exterminators

6 Leman Russes with lascannons

4 Basilisks

1 (maybe 2, if I'm up for it) Baneblades


As you can see, it will be large, so this will be about a 2 year project. It follows a sort of rule of 2 when it comes to various types of troop classes. Pictures will be up when I get the chance. And sorry if I'm not supposed to post without pictures, I'm fairly new. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4173984.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4173984.page GMT Apoc It could work.. WW1 is more heavy weapon teams and Artie. and tons of infantry. What kinda of army theme are you going for ? German French British American ? If British you can do more tank heavy. German more artie and infantry and specialist. As well you should sit down and make a 2k list first then work up to higher points. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4174134.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4174134.page GMT 40k it's especially a bad choice.

Strangely enough, for my 16th my parents offered to buy me a new kilt (Allans) and I asked for a new bass guitar instead. I hope you don't make the same mistake. You might not wear it often but it's important to have.

You might not have an "income" but you can slowly build it, as you said it'd take 2 years to get together anyways so you have time. Use it wisely.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4174592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4174592.page GMT
Or, if you're just looking at WWI as a visual theme, then you can take whatever you want. That doesn't exactly dictate the contents of your list, however. Honestly, the list that you have here is pretty vague, and will require an incredible investment in time and money. You may be better off doing something less ambitious, or getting your family colors with your gift money and then slowly raising a Guard army with your own income. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4174883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4174883.page GMT WIP.

Revision list (I'm taking advice and making it smaller at first)

I get it that the HB fits the WWI theme.
But the ACs will serve you better, IMHO.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4182417.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4182417.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4182419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/444201/4182419.page GMT
