but a price rise would have put it out of line with the other boxes. And what the battle force is meant to do, is to give you somewhere to start the army for fifty quid. which is what this one does. Perfectly. and the sentinel in it gets plasma cannons.... what more do you want?

@shugotenshi: That was a typo, I meant to say "I think it's Shugotenshi" but I was writing too fast. You're the one with the amatsu brigade, right?

I think the new battleforce is perfect, even if you don't need a comand squad, the stuff you get on it is sweet!

I agree. What I'm gonna do for my army, is buy 2 battle forces for 2 platoons of command, heavy weapons, and 20 men. Then I'm gonna buy 4 boxes of cadians, so that I can buff out my platoons. Then for my H.Q I'm buying a single command squad.

If your going to do it that way why don't you just buy 4 battleforces and use up all of the cool bits you'll get. Plus it will get you more of the plastic special weapons with out a lot of extra price.

I'm going to be buying two, one to make one command squad, and three vet squads will get two of my eight needed melta's from it. command squad gets four flamers. and other bits can be spread around.

wait, explain why? and please, compare prices and model ammounts in your next post. I would love you to work out how we could fit more into our 50 pound box. And explain it to us.

I was reading earlier. What are the prices in canada and other places in the US? Where I live, the store sells 'em for the same as GW has them listed online. Super-heavies $90, Heavy Weapon Platoon $35, Russ $45, etc. here. Oh and on the other note. I will prolly be buying 2 or 3 command squads.  I like having plastic special weapons! Every Sgt now has a pwoer sword! ;D ;D ;D |

My local store is selling at GW prices, but I usually order from the War Store because eveything is 20% off, even if it takes a few days to get here.

You live kinda in the south, is 40k that popular there? I heard that the further south you get the less popular the game is. (my friend(ish) that lives in florida told me so.)

Well, I live at the very tip of Northern VA, right outside DC, so I barley qualify as living in the South.  That said, the college I go to is in Roanoke, which is near the border with North Carolina, and that is the South. There's a small Anime Convention down there every year with a 40k Tourney, and there's a local hobby store that stocks the stuff (although it might be going out of business). Of the people I play 40k with down there, one is from NC, one is from Maine but sometimes lives down there, another is from Connecticut, and another if from VA. Around where I live, there's a local hobby store that Aeon and I both play at, two GWs about 40min south of us, a new store in Fair Oaks, and one in southern Maryland. That, coupled with the fact that the guy who got me into 40k, Aeonian, and a few members of the IGMB all live fairly close by would lead me to say that it's pretty popular right here. Heck, the GW US HQ is only about an hour north of me. I've also heard that Florida is rather devoid of 40k Players, but I'm not sure why. Reds |

Wow... I should move to where you live. Many IGMB members... I'm all alone up here.  |

Well, there're at least 4 or 5. I wouldn't call that "many". When you say alone, do you mean you're the only IG player, or the only 40k player?

Well here in Austin its pretty big. This is also considering that the guys over at Bell of lost souls are located here as well....  I'm getting 2 as well. I figure since I have more than enough troops and just needing the HQ bits, HW teams, and the Sentinels that i'll prolly sell the 20 infantry that come with it. I'll make my money back to some degree. |

I will have a need of much cheap infantry in the near future, once I can get the money together. PM me if you want to see if we can come to an agreement regarding this.
