HQ:
1 Overlord (Warscythe, MSS, Weave)

Elites:
1 Triarch Stalker [basic]

Troops:
10 Warriors
10 Warriors
(Or 5, 5, 5, 5)
1 Ghost Ark

Fast Attack:
5 Scarabs

Heavy Support:
3 Annihilation Barges [Gauss Option]


Expanding on this:
To start I will get a base of a battle force and barge kit, its what I get after that which I am not sure about, another Battleforce maybe? or the 2 Barge - Stalker that I have here?

Eventually I will probably just get another battle force either way, just to complete the 10 immortals, and have 40 warriors available etc. But should I do that sooner rather than later and get the Barges and Stalkers later?

[Basic: Battleforce - 1 Barge]
[Additions: 2nd Battle force -vs- 2 Barges and Stalker]

For fast attacks I was thinking Destroyers and 2 scarab units.

Also, what is your opinions of kitbashing the Lych / Prae kit with Deathmarks to make Crypteks? I am assuming I can just get 5 barges eventually and run them as basic Lords, then get Trazyn / Nemesor + Obyron as HQ

I am new to 40k I played 6th edition Fantasy and have played 2 games as Imperial Guard in 6th edition 40k to learn the game a bit, so I figured I would ask here for opinions!

My friends are all getting into the hobby and here is what they will be playing if it helps:

Space Marines / Chaos - Only established army player that I know.
He has pretty much every model in both armies minus Land Raiders, he likes to run heavy combi weapon and mega point HQs from what I have seen, hates plasma weapons and keeps offering me "useless" dark vengeance angels when I tell him that's what I would take, though... he does take combi plasma...

Dark Eldar - Veteran to 40k but building army from scratch. has tonnes of older dark eldar from 3rd or 4th. Mainly warriors and transports.
I think he wants to avoid wytches and go with a more warrior heavy game with transports, keeps telling me how he will wipe out veichles with his transports or something.

Tyranids - Veteran Nid player. has LOTS of them from 2nd edition and onward.
Just bought a massive swarm box and a tonne of new big nasty looking nids, given that it is a horde army I think tesla destructors will be good for this guy.

Necrons - Veteran to 40k but building army from scratch.
Phalanx Necrons I think, says that scarab swarms are useless so he will give me his, Holds warriors in super high regards and probably plans to spam lords with orbs too.

Tau - New player
Has no idea about how to play or anything to do with 40k, just picked up tau because he liked the look, has battleforce and wants a riptide - pathfinders. i hear they are strong at the moment, so could be tricky either way.


Thanks guys!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589441/6718041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589441/6718041.page GMT
A Thing to note about your annihilation barges, look online for the easy guide to easily switching these out from a Overlord on a Command Barge and a Annihilation Barge.


DO NOT BUY A SEPERATE NECRON OVERLORD, IF YOU PURCHASE ANNIHILATION BARGES.

The kit comes with them so you'll have 3 Necron Overlord models. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589441/6718095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589441/6718095.page GMT CC confusion. It immediately locks down every army's playing style except vehicle-heavy lists.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589441/6718592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589441/6718592.page GMT
