First Order

So, I’ve been pondering what my first steps will be. I’d always start off with some Troops. I find it a good way to get the colour scheme in order and mess around with a few things that Id rather not mess with on characters etc. So, I’m looking at :

2 x Boxed Tactical Squads – £18ea – This would give me one large squad (close combat) and two smaller specialist squads. 10 Models per box.

1 x Boxed Scout squad – £12ea – 5 Models – This would give me a few Neophytes to add.

3 x Black Templar Chapter Upgrades – £15ea – These give me all sorts of stuff like weapons, shoulder pads, vehicle markings and such. These will do for now though Ill also be ordering brass etchings from Forgeworld.

So, total cost £93. I wish I hadnt have added that up now! Anyway, that will be a good place to start. I’ll get those order this weekend once the house move is done and should make a start on them next week.

Edit 22/4/08:  Ordered these today and also got some black templar shoulder pads, total value was £108! Yikes!  However, I also bought some odds n sods from forgeworld.  These were land raider doors, rhino doors, various brass etchings, black templar dreadnought with two arms, twin linked lass-cannon and missile launcher.  Terminator storm shields, terminator shoulder pads, purity seals.  So, that little lot including delivery was another £123.  Ouch.  See what happens when you have some money left over from moving house!  This will largely make up an extra’s box and be some needed accessories when I move on to do the dreadnought, terminators and vehicles.  So, they’ll keep for a while yet.

I’ll be able to make my first start when these come maybe late in the week.  Already thinking about basing.  Not sure what kinda bases to put these on yet.  Considering urban.
