The most expensive 1000pts on the planet

[Levitas]

Expensive hobby, this we all know and live with. Rest assured there is no coin behind our sofas. But just what is the most expensive 1000pts a gamer could field in a regular game of 40k. You can include forge world components, but must be legal in regular 40k.

Do the sisters of battle automatically have this? or deathwing maybe?

[TSINI]

how about an all infantry force of Death Korps, with no upgrades or anything. thats like 200 men, about £600 ish

[Exitus Acta Probat]

Forgeworld makes it good,
but Has anyone costed out a Nurgle/Bloodcrusher list for Daemons??
Between that and Airborne Vostroyans, I think we may have a winner! :)

[Rangerrob]

24 models...$345

2 Ten strong Wraithguard with spirtseers 798 points (count as troops)
2 Farseers built using the 202 points left.

Wraithguard ar $15 each, get the rest from a Seer council box at $45.

Not the most expensive...but daaaaaaamn.

edit: then add another 10 wraithguard, & 3 Wraithlords for another $273.75
and you have a 2000pt Ilyanden force for $618.75...with only 38 figures.

$16.28 per mini.

[Aldramelech]

Hydra Flak tanks? How much?

[Old_Paladin]

An Ork 'Grots' army.
For all 6 troops made of metal 'rebel grots', its cost is over $570; and that's still less then 700 points. Even in pastic, it's $270.
A SAG Mek, to lead, is another $30.
Plus fill in the rest with killa kans or Artillery batteries ($60-$80 per 100 points).


Edit: Aldramelech, the common conversion can be done for ~$55 a pop

[entendre_entendre]

i dunno, maybe an all infantry, maxed platoon Vostroyan army?
a horde army of FW traitor guard?

[RealGenius]

How about a Deathwing army made from out-of-print original Space Hulk Terminators? Last I saw the original Space Hulk was $250-$400 and that only gives you a few of them.

[Blackmoor]

3 Eldar Heavy Weapon Platforms are $100, that would make for a good start.

you beat me to it mate :)

Here in australia the wraithguard cost $25 au per model, which is the equivalent to $12.5 GBP
So for us its even more expensive. It works out to about $550 AU or $225 BGP

Throw in 3 wraithlords and with some spiritseers and you push it up to $800 Aud or $400 GBP

Imo thats very expensive considering nothing is actually from Forgeworld, its all just GW minis

I think entendre may be on the right track. Lemme see if I can price out what one squad would be for Vostroyan, assuming we take the minimum upgrades:

Company Command
Company Command Squad $35 Pts 50

Platoon Smirnoff
Command Smirnoff : $35 Pts: 30

Infantry Squad A w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60
Infantry Squad B w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60
Heavy Weapons Squad A 3x Mortar $51 Pts: 60
Heavy Weapons Squad B 3x Mortar $51 Pts: 60

Totals $207 Pts: 270

Platoon Drago
Command Drago: $35 Pts: 30

Infantry Squad A w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60
Infantry Squad B w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60
Heavy Weapons Squad A 3x Mortar $51 Pts: 60
Heavy Weapons Squad B 3x Mortar $51 Pts: 60

Totals $207 Pts: 270

Platoon Stolichnaya
Command Stoli: $35 Pts: 30

Infantry Squad A w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60
Infantry Squad B w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60
Heavy Weapons Squad A 3x Mortar $51 Pts: 60
Heavy Weapons Squad B 3x Mortar $51 Pts: 60

Totals $207 Pts: 270

Platoon Lenin
Command Lenin: $35 Pts: 30

Infantry Squad A w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60
Infantry Squad B w/ Heavy Bolter: $35 Pts: 60

Totals $105 Pts: 150

It comes in a little over on points 1010, but clocks in at a whopping $761.
Yikes.

[Jwolf]

Tallarn Forgeworld Rough Riders. Roughly a Pound and a Half a point. 1500 pounds for 1000 points.

[vman]

ok nuff said.

I think old school all metal guard armies take the prize home for the most pricey armies under the sun

[wittdooley]

I guess everyone missed the, "let's leave out Forge World stuff for this discussion."

[Old_Paladin]

I guess everyone missed the, "let's leave out Forge World stuff for this discussion."

It doesn't say that anywhere.
It says including forgeworld, but only stuff legal in normal 40K.

[Old_Paladin]

I bet you could make Nids really expensive.
Use rippers as your only troops (buying them individually in metal, buying gaunt/warrior boxes just for the rippers, or getting the forgeworld ones)

Led by a Flyrant (forgeworld, or the metal one and buying dragon/balrog wings)

All the fast attack maxed out with Gargoyles (~$17 for two). It's almost $350 for 3 broods of 14 goyles each.

[Wolfshade]

If you are ignoring the Forgeworld goodness, anything that is a metal models, i'm thinking Grey Knights here, though they are expensive points wise so I'm not sure

[Herald of Nurgle]

Gretchin army WOULD have been expensive up to this year... i'm going to say a Nurgle Daemon army.

[wittdooley]

Whoops! Mis-read the beginning. Apologies!

[Cherub]

I have 140+ mordians....atm they cost more than my krieg army though at the rate I am going though krieg on micro art bases when I am done they are going to cost ALOT more lol Thank god my wife is just as addicted to warhammer and I have a good job.

[j-orge-287]

Buy an army of forge world models off ebay. from forge world it will be well over £100/$100 but from ebay the bidding you won't want to think about :eek:

[Aldramelech]

Ive never understood why people pay more on Ebay for forgeworld then forgeworld charge....... very odd.
