My Challange - Collect a 2250 pt. WFB Army & play at least 5 games
So as you might imagine, I need to start putting together some scrilla for little plastic men. I believe that I might actually own some random figures (lizardmen?) but they are almost certainly in storage at my folks house. I'll have to collect from scratch.
I was able to find an army to collect fairly quickly. I knew that I needed an army that utilized elite troops (to keep the cost and number of models down). I also wanted one that didn't require insanely precise paint jobs (ie. high elves). Even better if that army was competitive. In this case, what caught my eye was the Warriors of Chaos.
Chaos forces seem to have undergone some pretty drastic changes since I last checked. It has been split into three seperate armies, each with their own codex. Warriors of Chaos represent Chaos Knights and (shockingly) Chaos Warriors. These are elite type units, but are generally slow and expensive. Once I had chosen an army, I started to work on a list of what to purchase for core units. GW makes "battalion boxes" now, which in Chaos' case, are a fantastic deal. I plan to purchase two, giving me the following:
10 Chaos Knights
20 Chaos Hounds
24 Chaos Warriors
40 Chaos Marauders
This will be the core of my army. I haven't purchased them yet as the cost is enough for me to want to be strategic, but I plan to soon. In the meantime I'll be hitting ebay for odds and ends, and maybe some men to practice my painting on.
