AoS, has anyone done a compilation of the Start Collecting sets currently available and what the points cost are for them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700805/8866251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700805/8866251.page GMT Point costs of Start Collecting boxes? 40k considering wargear plays a huge factor in points and many armies can go crazy with equipping their models if they choose to do so. If such a list was to be made there would need to be some agreed upon criteria for how wargear should be counted for this list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700805/8866258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700805/8866258.page GMT Point costs of Start Collecting boxes? SM box tac squad could only take a ML for a heavy weapon.

Here is how I would assemble the two boxes for the armies I play (assuming a stand alone force, WYSWYG, from the box)

Space Marines - 455 points
Spoiler:

Captain
Terminator Armour [Relic Blade, Storm Bolter]

Venerable Dreadnought [Assault Cannon]
Power Fist [Heavy Flamer]

Tactical Squad (180pts) [Grav-gun, Missile Launcher (Frag & Krak), 9x Space Marines]
Space Marine Sergeant [Combi-grav]


Eldar 341 points
Spoiler:

Farseer (115pts) [Farseer Skyrunner, Shuriken Pistol, Singing Spear]

Windriders (81pts) [3x Windrider with Scatter laser]

Fire Prism [Holo-fields, Twin-linked shuriken catapults]

They do help to get an approximation of what points cost you'd be looking at when you get your upgrades finalised - around 500-600 is right.

Hope this helps

MIlitarum Tempestus Would be something like 340 if your arming them to be efficient and only using the bits included.
Spoiler:

Commisar- Stock wargear no upgrades because who brings a commissar in a Scions army other than to have the formation.
MT Command Squad - 2 Plasmas and 2 Volley Guns. I would use 4 Plasma so in order to make that work I converted 2 Space Wolf plasma guns to fit on the scions and only required a bit of cutting and gluing on a slight angle (or use green stuff) get the scion arms to fit with the hand placement on the SM plasma gun.
Scions - 2 Melta Guns
Taurox - Missile Launcher + Auto Cannon.


Space Wolves: Something like 540 but its highly dependent on wargear.
Spoiler:

Wolf Lord- Runic Armor, Wolf Claw + Stormshield (2x Claws, PF + SS are also quite viable)
Grey Hunters - 2x Plasma
Thunderwolf Cav - 3x Stormshield, 1 Powerfist, 1 Wolf Claw.


Tau: Something like 306 points. Please note you will end up with a fair amount of Drones unused this way. This can very easily become a markerlight drone squad in a CAD. This is roughly 100 points of drones.
Spoiler:

Ethereal - No upgrades
Fire Warriors (Strike) - DS8 Turret
Crisis Suits - 2x Fusion, 4x Plasma.

That's limiting you to just what comes in the box, so no multiples of the special weapons on the Skitarii squad; with multiples, the max goes to 640/660.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700805/8866391.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700805/8866391.page GMT
