5 / 1500

I have a fairly simple choice... as I only have 5 points left... at least I would have thought it to be simple.

I can post the list... but it's pretty simple. Libby, Vindi, 3 strike squads in Psybacks, Termie squad plus a LRC and purgation squad in a psyback. 1495 points.

So with 5 left over... I can add another power to my Libby, currently:

Might of Titan
Quicksilver
Warp Rift
Sanctuary


or....

I can give all 5 vehicles a searchlight

I am leaning towards Shrouding... but not sure it will be any more useful than search lights in turn one of a DoW deployment.

Maybe this is really simple and I've just been staring at this shit too long?

Dark Ex. Always take it, no matter what. Then take Searchlights and such.

[daddy4count]

that would probably be useful if I ever played Daemons... closest I get to them is Chaos marines. If I were tournamenting that would probably be a decent choice. Probably more useful more often than the lights would be?

I do believe I discovered my problem, however:
It turns out to be quite difficult to complete an army list after one consumes enough Makers Mark

[edmundblack]

Perhaps. If I had any idea what you're on about. Searchlights then.

[daddy4count]

LOL

How it should have read:

Thanks, EB! DarkEx is a great power, and probably more useful than searchlights considering how often night fighting actually comes into play. I never play against Daemons... occasionally CSM and it will come in very handy if he ever starts playing with more than terminators, LOL.

So, DarkEx over Shrouding then?

[edmundblack]

Both, if you can. For generaly purpose-ness, Shrouding. But I'd always suggest finding room for it so when you do fight Daemons, you're not accused of being a cheese-monger when you include it all of a sudden.

[daddy4count]

If I'm playing GK won't I be called a cheese-monger anyway?

My Libby is getting pretty expensive now... over 200pts with the warding stave.

His model is on its way... metal Librarian in T armor, used from ebay. It has the boltgun left hand... I'm a gonna have to kit up a storm bolter on his wrist or something cool with the terminator plastic kit... which will be ordered this weekend.

My first full squad of knights!

I'm stoked...

I picked up a Vindicare, the one with rifle and pistol, on ebay for a song.

Slowly my Knight of Titan are coming together......

[edmundblack]

Only if you spam Purifiers, Paladins, Crowe, Draigo and Dreads. Anything else is generally OK.

Libbys are, but you need them alive and potent. So Warding Stave and 5 powers at least is the way to go. Mine is generally 210, but he's a tank that'll kill anything.

All good choices so far there too.

[daddy4count]

Thanks man

I've been going about it slowly... picking up a model here, another there. But I just finished reading Hammer of Daemons. GREAT BOOK. It's the best 40k novel I've read (not counting the HH series, that's 30k). Alaric is a badass.

I'm trying to decide if i want to grab as many boxes as I can when I can... buy em up and go! Or wait until my terminator squad is done, then keep going. I guess I'll figure that out later.

For now I'm excited to get choppin on a new squad.

[edmundblack]

You can, if you're lucky, get some good quality metal (VASTLY superior) GKTs on ebay still. ~ £30 for 5 is a good deal.

[daddy4count]

I've been keeping an eye out... I like the old metal GK Terminators a lot, but those don't go cheap.

For the strike squad guys I like the plastic models just as much, looks wise anyway.

I will probably get at least one plastic kit of each... even if I find good deals on ebay. That way I'll have lots of bits to play with.
