On the plus side there's a lot of them, you might win objective games by just having more troops than the opposition

Its so hard choosing an army without having first played it... I think I'm just going to pick all the units I fancy trying and sod the balance lol

Shamikebab · 15 Feb 2013 at 10:04

Pick someone else who hasn't played much for your first game and hope you learn quicker

In all honesty as long as you make sure you have something that can kill armour, something that can kill horders, something that can fight in combat and enough troop choices for objective games then you should be able to adapt to most armies.

Imperial Guard, combat? what is this madness!

I love the Vendetta model so think I'm going to try a couple of those to see if they are worth buying for my real army or not. I was going to go for an armoured fists army but decided to put my faith in lasguns and lots of them... lol

Shamikebab · 15 Feb 2013 at 10:32

Ah....well, hope no-one gets into combat with you then

You know there are interesting times ahead when the prospect of facing even puny lasguns has you worried...

BAH.... Just worked the Army out again and it comes to 1,501 points /cry

Time to work out where I can save points lol

JHeaton · 15 Feb 2013 at 11:06

Shame I can't give you the three points that I'm under the limit.

Hmm, just looked at the list and realised I'm a little biased in one direction. Maybe I should change that...

Shamikebab · 15 Feb 2013 at 11:19

I'm 1 under

You can go over, but for every point over your opposition gets a free re-roll to use per battle

Woogie · 15 Feb 2013 at 11:28

Might just drop a Mark somewhere as If I drop a soldier it drops me around 20-25 points

Shamikebab · 15 Feb 2013 at 11:33

Yeah that's the problems with marines. Wouldn't have this problem with a Gretchin army

JHeaton · 15 Feb 2013 at 11:48

Would have to learn the secret behind consistently rolling double-ones though...

Argh. I don't want to drop this particular unit, but I don't think having only one shooty infantry block is going to do me any favours. :/

Woogie · 15 Feb 2013 at 12:03

I'll post mine here shortly I think, Quite happy with it either way just need to decide where I'm dropping a point lol

JHeaton · 15 Feb 2013 at 12:18

Right, mine is done. Has anyone else actually uploaded theirs so far? I don't fancy being the first.

Woogie · 15 Feb 2013 at 12:20

Think Clarty uploaded his over a week a go. I've got no issues uploading mine as #1 Its a friendly comp #2 I will lose #3 I'm rolling with units I like

Shamikebab · 15 Feb 2013 at 12:25

Yep Clarty's is sitting in the Dropbox folder

I'll upload mine when I get home from work, yesterday was the first day in a week I didn't make changes so hopefully it's final

If you want to submit now then email it to me, I'll check them all and put them up at once, that way nobody gets an advantage (well except me, you'll just have to trust my word that I won't change mine!)

I want something to paint by,in the evening.

JHeaton · 15 Feb 2013 at 12:31

All right, mine is up. Didn't realise anyone else was taking the same army type though.

I used to have something similar to this. Did the job nicely enough. You can get some really nice energy-saving ones that will last quite a while, but if you plan on putting them in something like a desk lamp then they usually protrude beyond the end of the shade, which results in you catching your eyes on them more. Painting whilst dazed ain't easy.

Damnit, Dark Eldar was one of the armies I didn't want to face and there's two of you
