HQ-5 models
platoon squads- 5x2
infantry-10x4
and thats if i decided to not add any thing else besides the tank i already have. | | Back to top | |

MTG on the other hand goes out of date after a year or so cause of the constant card rotation. The other problem is MTG is highly unbalanced and everyone plays the same exact decks which means you will have to buy power cards at inflated prices. 40k is far more balanced with only a few army lists that are considered elite, however all armies are competitive if played correctly. | | Back to top | |

Been on a real Fantasy tip the last few months.. I've finished my Wood Elves army model wise (about 40% painted currently) and have just finished assembling an Ogre Kingdoms army which is 0% painted. On top of that I keep buying Dwarf and Orc and Goblin stuff as well because I can't help myself. Thank God I got a new job so I can afford all this shit. I think once i've finished my Dwarfs off though (one battalion pretty much should do it) i'm not going to buy any models for a while (planetstrike buildings aside) or start any more projects.. I've got some time off work coming up after an operation i'm having this summer, so hopefully can break the back of my painting then and get it all under control.

However if you are smart you will save 20% on every item you buy by purchasing through third party retailers. My army which is tournament ready cost less than $200. | | Back to top | |

I pick the odd thing up in my local store, but normally place an order just after payday with someone like Maelstrom or Wayland Games. I'm not sure what's best for dudes in the US, but I know there are plenty of retailers over there offering 20% off which makes it a lot more affordable.
If I didn't have the money, i'd get a battalion or something to get me started then spend £30 or something a month on it.. It would be enough to get a unit which I could then spend the month painting. Would probably work a lot better for me as i'd be more focused and probably get an army completey finished for once in my life. | | Back to top | |

Always prefered Nercomander though.
edit: actually think I've probably got a alright sized guard army someware too. | | Back to top | |

Tau sucks now, they introduced something called run where you can give up your shooting phase to move an extra d6, that effectively ended Tau's domination.
Best armies are Eldar, Chaos Space Marines and Orks because of three power lists: Mech Eldar, Dual Lash and Nob Bikers
imperial guard is good for long distance with there basilisks/deathstrike missle launcher/manticore rocket launchers/hydra flak tank | | Back to top | |
