I started a month ago, and here's what I have now thanks to store credit and trading in Magic cards:

Hive Tyrant
Trygon
Broodlord
Tyrannofex
Harpy
Neurothrope (old metal)
2 Carnifexes
3 Biovores (old metal)
3 Hive Guard
3 Venomthropes
6 Tyranid Warriors
6 Ripper Swarms (maybe more, need to check my Gaunt/Genestealer sprues and I need bases)
10 Gargoyles
16 Genestealers (plus another box of 8 unbuilt)
25 Termagants (I need 5 more, going to buy a snap-together kit)
And a bunch of Spore Mines

The only things I really want besides the five more Termagants is three more Hive Guard and as many Carnifexes as I can get my hands on because I love those models.

I have 2 carnies not painted in my style I can send you, plus any bits you'd like for them--painted Kraken. I'm at herpderpspamcatcher@gmail.com if you'd like to buy 'em off me.

Kraken Thornbacks are hilarious because every round they can disengage from combat and get another D3 Mortal Wounds from another charge :unsmigghh:

All of that was around $300 total with discounts from my LGS where I'm a Magic judge and The War Store which is a fifteen minute drive from me. Eight of the Termagants, the Harpy, and three Warriors were bought off a friend who stopped playing years ago. And I should've said, the Start Collecting box (Trygon, Broodlord, 8 Genestealers) and a box of Genestealers and a box of Gargoyles were "Hanukkah gifts" from my friends (aka bribes to get me to play with them).

Should it be as simple as substituting values in place of the current ones for any weapon/unit variants we are curious about, because I can't seem to get anywhere.

Fair enough. I'm sure some people have enough cards to get that much but it seemed like a lot.

The predator has just fallen out of favor for me as an Ultramarine player. Lascannons just come out as to expensive or to delicate on almost anything I take, or are to easily tied up in the case of vehicles.

I am actually leaning towards picking up a Contemptor or two with quad Lascannon, simply because they A) Hit on 2s B) Have an Invuln C) Can fall back and shoot at a 4+, and D) Can stomp some bitches when they get caught in melee.

This seems to more than account for the price different.

You're right on all counts, but stuff like a lascannon mortis contemptor being 16 more points than a las predator is exactly the sort of thing that makes me avoid forge world stuff on account of it being flagrant bullshit a lot of the time.

But then I'm not playing in a tournament setting or mindset so I can get away with that.

If you have it in Excel you've likely lost all the formulas. Try working on it directly on Google. You basically enter new data the same way that I put it in.

Looks like the work firewall is interfering with it somehow. I have this same problem with posting on SA. It allows me to post, but I leave the message screen open to long and attempt to hit reply the post will be lost. In the same way at some point the values I input into the spreadsheet stop calculating at a certain point requiring me to refresh.

I think you have enough points to add at least one Heavy Stubber to a Repulsor. If you're already going full anti-vehicle on one I would drop the Icarus for another frag launcher and use the points for heavy stubbers on both. If you haven't already purchased the Aggressors go with the bolter variant; the amount of firepower they put out is only slightly worse less efficient than the flamers but has the advantage of a longer range. I'd also suggest finding the points to give your Intercessors grenade launchers and possibly your Sergeants power swords.

The ork models are the same size. Battle for Vedros boxes are leftover models from the 5th edition starter that they packaged up and discounted for sale at Big Box stores(Walmart/Hobby Lobby) . The boxes are a fantastic way to start an ork army, Orks haven't really gotten a line replenishment since 5th so everything you buy will match up fine from other boxes.

FW contemptor is ~$50 vs $60 for the plastic. Shipping aside, if you're buying arms for both, the FW model is cheaper and looks so much better.

They're really not.

As an example, the jetbike autarch is 25 bucks, 33 on GW. And shipping, from Russia, is 8 bucks vs. 10 on GW site. And the quality is infinitely better than finecast.

I have a bunch of their stuff and have been very happy with it. Shipping can take a bit, my last order took a month.

Ok, I made some adjustments for the power swords and grenades as well as the repulsor loadouts. I also have a finished redemptor so I might drop one unit of plasma inceptors so I can run the dread.

Probably should try and sneak in a lieutenant somewhere, with all those guns you're going to want at least some bad luck protection on wound rolls.

I got some more Death Guard painting done, like a fly





The DI Noxious Blighbringer



A faceswapped sorcerer





I swapped the primaris from DI with a friend for more Death Guard, so I had a spare Blighbringer to make a ghetto Foul Blightspawn







And a character groupshot, including my ~10 year old tiny chaos lord



But what's this? Zoom.



Enhance.







I wanted to remake him as close as possible at the new scale :v:



As a break from green, I did this dude as a Prime too. The codex was inspiring, my first army is good :unsmith:
