Angels Amethyst 3k (alpha)

[cheminhaler]

OK - I worked out how many assault marines I have yesterday. All I need for this is 5 SG, 11 assault, 6 bikes and 3 SPs. My 16 termies are going into my 'Beta Amethyst' army - I needed all 3 of my elite slots for my cheapo chaplain, SPs and SGs.
I'm not changing the Captain. I know he costs the same points as Gabriel Seth, but I have two words for you : jump pack.

I like the way you've written it in the increasing format for different points levels.

Are you really not going to take advantage of all the HS vehicles also being fast?

[cheminhaler]

It's just an issue of space - all these models fit into one small case. For the moment I'll hold off on vehicles until the S/R gets released. Also then I can plan my alternative Beta army, with a few support vehicles. If things go well I might invest in a new, bigger case, and then I'll be able to get as many vehicles as I want.

My next 40K purchase is a big tool box, and some egg crate foam. Then, after I'll have saved ~ $400 on storage, I'll laugh at GW.

You could probably only get one Stormraven into the tool box. 'Battlefoam' might be a better choice, or customise out of normal luggage, or something.
