What I mean is: you can take SM, and IG, and SoB, and GK, and Skitarii, and CM, so on and so forth...

How much money would it take to create a small force containing all of the IoM factions, and would it be worth it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8821385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8821385.page GMT The Imperium of Man - Super Army Oh and god at the paint cost for that many factions ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8821410.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8821410.page GMT Re:The Imperium of Man - Super Army There are 12 IOM armies to buy from.

Oh, and there's a chance that while you're putting this all together, GW might just go and release a new edition and/or codexes, and thus force you to rebuy stuff.

And possibly make your list illegal in the process.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8821476.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8821476.page GMT Re:The Imperium of Man - Super Army HQ and two troops for each army.

As you can see, this would take a very long time and a huge amount of money. Of course, cuts could be made - cheaper HQs, less troops, cheaper specialists. But I'm still determined to go ahead with it. As well as being a nice break from my Tau, it would mean I have an army to play if I got bored with Tau. Eventually I'll get around to starting it, and when I do I will create a Project Log on dakka for you to watch my progress. I can start with my tactical squads, I have a couple of old tactical squads I can use, once I've stripped the paint and decided on a chapter to start my marines with. After I've done this, I will start getting the codices. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8822739.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8822739.page GMT The Imperium of Man - Super Army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8822819.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8822819.page GMT The Imperium of Man - Super Army

A couple of money saving points:
Renegade box to get 2 knights; £120 for 2, actually cheaper than a single FW knight, like a Magaera. And you get buildings with it.
Try and find an Elimination Maniple box for your Cult Mech stuff. 6 Kataphrons and a Kastelan unit, £90. They did stop producing these, though. I got the last one in my local 2 months ago.

As for getting the Guardsmen, incidentally getting the individual kits will cost the same as a SC box + another Cadian kit.
Could be a case of convenience, although I'm not sure you'd need 2 Cadian kits? I thought they could be taken in 5-man squads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8823074.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8823074.page GMT The Imperium of Man - Super Army IG troops are 10 man only.

And that's why I do 1/72 and build my tanks out of cardboard....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8823268.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8823268.page GMT The Imperium of Man - Super Army St. Celestine leading a squad of Battle Sisters, Azrael leading the Dark Angels, Marneus Calgar leading the Ultramarines, Commander Dante leading the Blood Angels, etc. I would just find this to be a better representation of the might of the Imperium, and would probably be a lot more fun than just a bunch of Chapter Masters or Captains.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8823277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8823277.page GMT The Imperium of Man - Super Army

I like this idea, and it would save me some money. A leader and a squad to start with. Maybe the Start Collecting boxes would help, since they generally have a specialist, a troop, and a HQ in it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8824039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8824039.page GMT The Imperium of Man - Super Army ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8824128.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/698698/8824128.page GMT
