As we all know one of the biggest issue in out hobby is the ever rising costs. After talking with a friend on Sunday about this subject I asked myself if I could build a 1500 point army that is, viable on the tabletop, costs less than $220, and will look great. The answer was immediate, a Dark Angel pure Deathwing Army!

Here is a quick list I came up with to get to 1500 points:

HQ

Belial 190

Librarian 65
Terminator Armour 30

Deathwing Command Squad 220
Deathwing Champion 5
Assault Cannon 20

Troops

Deathwing Terminator Squad x5 220
Plasma Cannon 15
Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield 5

Deathwing Terminator Squad x5 220
Plasma Cannon 15
Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield 5

Deathwing Terminator Squad x5 220
Cyclone Missile Launcher 25

Deathwing Terminator Squad x5 220
Cyclone Missile Launcher 25

1500


How can you get all of this stuff for around $220? Belial, the Librarian, and two boxes of Deathwing Command Squads (for all the bits needed for weapons options) will set you back $164.50 at full MSRP. For this army though I am going to be thrifty and buy from an online retailer and get 25% off bringing the cost down to $123.38. We still need to 15 terminators and for them we go to ebay or some other source that breaks down the Dark Vengeance box set. The best price I could find was $16.00 per squad. That brings us to $48 for three squads of terminators. This brings us $171.38 total. I want this army to look good and I have no talent for basing so I am going to buy some resin bases. I will be using Secret Weapon Miniatures bases. At eight dollars per set of five for thirty bases we add 48 dollars to our total. This brings us to a total of $219.38 for the entire army.

Here is the plan. Build, paint, and base a 1500 point Deathwing Terminator Army in 15 days. I have put in orders for all the goods and after everything arrives on Friday I will start building. Check back for updates and for when the clock will start...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184205.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184220.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184220.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184224.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184224.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184297.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501093/5184370.page GMT
