Title says it. We all want it, and I'm sure if you look through the forums you'll see a lot of people with post numbers equal to mine. So I thought it might be nice to have a thread for people to talk about what they'd like to buy if they win the giveaway.

If I win I will use the prize to start my son's IG army.

I'd use it to start an Empire army for Warhammer. Something I'd love to do but can't justify at the moment.

I was thinking on GKs, but since if i get those no on will play with me at my LGS, i think i'll reinforce warriors of chaos and Imperial guard.

Might use it to check out a new game system; otherwise I'd use it to order bits and create a Killzone team.

Plowboy's is going to be tough to beat.

I don't have a 40k army yet, and want to get one so I can play with my group after our WM/H Journeyman League ends. I've been looking at Orks, Grey Knights, and Space Wolves lately. I know GK and SW seem to be OP, but I like the lore and look of all 3 armies. Orks seem overwhelming to paint though, and I have a hard time playing anything unpainted, so they may need to wait until I retire in 40 years and have time to paint the green tide.

I usually ignore those as assumed US only,

maybe $400 of knorne berzerkers for a very fluffy if somewhat less than effective force...possibly with a defiler and Kharn for a bit of variety...

Giving the prize money to kids is a great idea. I'm sure mine will be rooting for me to give it to them aswell.

Probably hold out till we see what new Chaos goodies comes out and pick some of those up.

Soups
03-06-2012, 10:00 AM
I just might start buying things for my Tyranid army. I told myself the new Tyranofex model would be my last purchase before 6th edition, because I don't really want the hassle on having models that won't work the way I want them to.

Or keep adding to my 8000 point blood angels addiction.

I would totally buy empire if Fantasy didn't die 6 months after 8 ed released. That was a downer.

Frankio9
03-06-2012, 10:00 AM
It would be an excellent, no, more than excellent way to start a new army. Now to decide what new army... Probably Chaos Marines, buying a couple of box sets in preperation for the new Dex,and of course reinforcing my old armies. I'll also give a share to my brother, so that he can finaly get his Tyranids up to a decent size.

turiya64
03-06-2012, 10:05 AM
i think i might get my self some nids there are alot of great moddels for them and not much i would not be happy owning from that collection

Luke Licens

I'll use it to jump start a Trolls army for Warmahordes. I really like those hard drinkin, hard fightin, hard fartin sons of guns. Also, they're blue.

drjos
03-06-2012, 10:19 AM
I'd probably buy some necrons or some tomb king (or a mix of both)
or I'd might buy my little brother some chaos marines so he can start his own army

Kasil
03-06-2012, 10:19 AM
I want to say I would buy a trolls army for my friend that I want to play warmahordes with me, but he doesn't paint and refuses to play with unpainted models... go figure. So, I would finish of my Cygnar army!

Or, I could start Necrons... hmm...

Glossopovich

bob10182

Some space wolves and Tau are at the top of my 40k list but I would probably get DUST and MERCS too. The skirmish games are a lot of fun and eveyone has new releases lately.

Forrix
03-06-2012, 10:46 AM
The best part about winning this would be going in to buy my third army and my girlfriend couldn't stress me about it because it was free! I would love to have the money to do dark eldar right or i have always wanted to do a para trooper themed I.G list oh decisions decisions

Tayne
03-06-2012, 10:50 AM
You know what, I honestly don't know. Maybe finish my Chaos Daemons for 40? Or some Brets? Or start Dark Eldar...

Or get some terrain kits for the fully sick board I'll one day make!

ragnarcissist
03-06-2012, 10:57 AM
id probably just keep adding to my ever growing space wolves, help my brother finish his chaos army, and think long and hard about what i want for a second army (maybe khorne CSM or DE)

Mr_Circle
03-06-2012, 11:13 AM
I would probably split it in two, half would be for me to bulk out my Grey Knights and the other half I would use for my Nephew who I have just addicted to 40K, he is just starting a Tau Army, He could definitely use some more models.

Rissan4ever
03-06-2012, 11:28 AM
My Imperial Guard need some things to round them out. I have tons of infantry, but I could use a few more Heavy Weapon Squads. I need more tanks and artillery, so I'd definitely pick up another 2-3 Leman Russ, perhaps another Valkyrie and some Kasrkin to ride in it, and last but not least, a Baneblade.

I have 6 armies (CSM, CD/DoC, Crons, TK, VC, Empire), but my fiance has been semi-tempted to try to play, but wants dwarfs. So i'll be picking up a starter of mini-men for him. That might get him to take the plunge and learn to play.

03-06-2012, 02:55 PM
Depending on my mood after giving the prize a good think, I would either choose to gift those people around me who game, or spend it all on toys for myself.

Theres a lot of miniatures the store has available its hard to decide now, but if I had to give an answer right now, a stompa and some of the new wolves.

MattHoell

But, if the fates roll in my favor, Im going to flesh out my nids with troops, get a few more Valkyries, and get some of the shiny new Necron units for my 'old' Necron army.

03-06-2012, 03:26 PM
I'd also like to get a themed "hoard" army... Like a goblin swarm or 'nid genestealer swarm. I know it wouldn't always win, but the thought of having a massive army of most of the same minis is kind of attractive.

Grenndal

I read them all too :-P,

The thing I find interesting is how many people on this thread are all of initiate level meaning you all JUST made new accounts for this contest. That makes me laugh a little.

Anyways I would use it to buy bags and bags of just bits for conversion work. I am really into the whole conversion thing nowadays and I want to get more elaborate with my conversions.

its a friend's birthday in 3 months time and i was playing with tyhe idea of painting his army (imperial guard) and surprising him with a bunch of new tanks and troops. then spend the rest on my word bearers, jump-start my traitor guard or my warriors of tzeentch.

Altimit01
03-06-2012, 06:38 PM
Either the start of a BA jump army or terminators for a deathwing army. I'm almost done with my vanillas and have been planning how to do one of those next. Shopping spree would make it easier. Especially the conversion work.

Of course they would be done in the colors of the greatest chapter of all space marines as first or eighth company. Haters gonna hate.

6th edition mini rulebook
razorback turrets (i've scratch built some of these recently)
paint brushes

some secret weapon vehicle kits, bases, terrain bits
spacewolf capes shields and weapons to spruce up my white scars bike command squad

sverigesson
03-06-2012, 06:48 PM
Well, assuming the new X-wing game comes out soon, I'll buy some minis for that. Then buy the last few pieces for my IG army, then either start Necrons, or save it for when Tau or Eldar come out.

Lord Inquisitor
03-06-2012, 07:18 PM
Probably a Grey Knight army.

slopike
03-06-2012, 07:38 PM
Actually one of things I would like to get is a lot of the bat wings from the dark eldar jump troops set (forget the name atm). For I am a big fan of the stories of this game and the ones in the codexes; so when I read what Ward had the grey knights due in the codex to the sisters after pre-ordering a few boxes some tinkering occurred.

My girlfriend tried seeing how a grey knight looked after attaching some of those wings to the back and he looked very cool. So that brought up the idea of doing an army like that:)

For I figured if Ward would have a group of people so "pure" that they are supposedly now ok to butcher sisters and bathe in their blood...I figured maybe this once failsafe against temptation army would indeed be able to falter a bit...

*why of why do they still let ward write codexes?:)*

Thorn
03-06-2012, 07:54 PM
Hmmm

I probably would either grab some warmachine stuff and then add more stuff to the 40K armies I already have, reinforce my currents armies and grab some paints and brushes, or, finally, only reinforce the armies I have.

But I won't be starting a new army with the money even though necrons look awesome :P

Typhonian
03-06-2012, 08:04 PM
Chaos (might wait for the new miniatures) along with some Scibor Custodes and Avatars of War miniatures.

I'll probably start an Everblight Hordes army. Been meaning to try Warmahordes.

Some Reaper master series paints. Some Vallejo model air paints. A lot of 40k bits. Some maxmini bits for my SWs.

Wish he carried Infinity as I'd like to try that game out as well.

I'd probably get my dad some stuff for his IG as well. He's old and he deserves nice things.

Two Army Carrying Bags.

I have two people I know who don't have them. Ok well one has one but it is super small, I'm talking like lunch box size. While the other literally has a cardboard box with egg crates cases inside, and the model's are placed in each one... while anything bigger is wrapped in plastic grocery bags. (if you're reading this you know who you are, and yes if I win I'm buying you a frakkin army bag!)


After that, well I probably won't have any money left because I'm going to get the best, of the best, of the best, the top 2% if you will... of army carrying bags, and have them customized to be all Jawsome. Army's signs engraved, the color won't be straight black it will be some other neat-o color, badges put on and what not. You know, cool stuff.

03-07-2012, 04:54 AM
That kind of scratch could get me all of the Cygnar models I don't have yet.

And all the Malifax models I don't have yet. Not all of a specific faction, ALLof the remaining models for the game. I have a lot of Malifaux.

03-07-2012, 04:56 AM

03-07-2012, 05:57 AM
Either build out the IG army I've always wanted to get around to or retool and rebuild my entire Space Wolf army with the full range and replace all my old standard marines with the Space Wolf kits.

Either that or a full Jump pack Blood Angel list.

Muras
03-07-2012, 11:39 AM

Mud Duck
03-07-2012, 06:41 PM

What is it about girls and nids? My wife loves em too.

I could buy her some buggs. In fact some of the money is screaming for that. A ghost arc for myself and a box of pretorians. Maybe a retribution heavy jack and then maybe a wave serpent for my Eldar?

I wonder if he sells airbrushes?

doom-kitten
03-08-2012, 08:35 PM
I'd have to say whatever I pull out a hat, kinda wishing I don't win as the indecision would likely kill me, I want one of every Imperial army (Marines, SoB, Gaurd, GK), and I have a xenos army already but I like orcs and Tyranids, oh and not the mention I want another baneblade and my fantasy armies need work. It's horrifing just thinking about it, so please let me lose.

I would most likely pick up another Dread for my Blood Angels (I only have 4 now) :D
And then a couple War Walkers and 3 more Wave Serpents for my Eldar.
Then perhaps some Skaven toys.

Whatever I had left over would most likely be spent on bits, or models for armies I don't even play...

Loafer of Change
03-09-2012, 01:35 PM
Perhaps the Deffskullz Ork army I've seen in my dreams, almost every imaginable type of vehicle & piece of wargear in the game represented in bodged Orky fashion :D

03-09-2012, 05:15 PM
I'd get all the Necron bits I need for the conversions I've planned (which will hopefully get me into playing again) and probably some Necron vehicles to cut up see what I can come up with for alternate Ghost Ark/ Doomsday Arks.

Anything left over will probably go towards Firestorm Armada, maybe a Dindrenzi starter.

Boy it's been a long time since I have posted here. Way to bring me back lol.

Blood Angel
03-10-2012, 12:15 AM
It would be nice if there were more info on 6th and Chaos before making a decision, but at this point, I probably would have to say either Eldar, because I've always wanted to paint an eldar army or Necrons, because I could paint a Necron army in a single weekend. LOL. Either way, I'm looking for something different to paint that would be a lot of fun to build all at once.

Kataklysm
03-10-2012, 12:54 AM
Necrons, so, many, Necrons. Also probably something for firestorm armada. The only thing that gets me is that when i went to the website and tried to make a mental wishlist something didnt seem right, and here it is, if I want to purchase say, A ghost/doomsday ark I have to do it in bits right? ok, so they say all these bits are 20% off, Woo Hoo i say to myself.. but They still look pricey.. so after adding up what all the bits cost to make a ghost/doomday ark, it turns out that it actually costs almost 25 dollars more than if i were to buy it from a FLGS or GW. :confused:

I wouldnt't be complaining if i won, because it would still be free.. but damn.. 25 dollars more for a whole model that is supposidly 20% off...:(

I'd build an Eldar army, just for something other than "imperial".

Criger
03-10-2012, 09:12 PM
Well, I'd like to get 2000pts worth of Eldar for one. I'm a bit tired of having to proxy to get to 1000pts, but such is the life of a poor college student. I would also love to get some painting supplies. I always say I'll just paint my models for free at GW, but I never get out there. I really need my own paints. It would also be cool to have some real terrain. Right now me and my friends are using whatever we can find in my basement. (although I think we would keep using the big wooden rooster that we found)

I would start up a nice army of Black Temps and a fantasy army so I have a little fun with both games.

03-10-2012, 11:15 PM
T'au. Without a doubt. I have about 9,000 of Ultramarines, 4,000 of Space Wolves, 4,000 of Blood Angels, 2500 of Dark Angels and about 5,000 of Imperial Guard. I will go for T'au.

If I get it, I want to get an Eldar army. Get a bunch of different aspects and paint them up for the campaign that I want to run during my next cycle break. I hope I win because I have been looking for painting inspiration here and I have some ideas I would love to try.

03-11-2012, 11:39 PM
For a laugh something I could never justify buying at NZ prices. How about as many ork battlewagons with deff rollas as I can get and so that I drive wheel to wheel across the table?

Krisken
03-12-2012, 12:18 AM
Pretty simple, really. The Eldar army I have is extremely out of date (the majority of models I have are metal), so updating those would be first on my list. I need Fire Dragons, new Wraithlords, and some Wave Serpents to join the Forge World kit Wave Serpent I put together years ago. I could probably use another pack of Harlequins to go along with the 6 I already have, too.

A dream, to be sure!

If I win there's a few things that I would get...first is my nid army that I am interested in starting again, with the rest, I will probably get some more bretonnian knights. You can never have enough knights at your house waiting to be painted.

Xenith
03-12-2012, 07:46 AM
Definitely enough Necrons for a 1000pt army.

Captain Ismer
03-12-2012, 02:15 PM
As a Tau player with only 1 and a half devilfish in his motor pool, I would try to shore up the numbers, along with a few new broadsides/crisis suits. Obviously.

However, I've got a few buddies I play with on a regular basis, and they are really great guys, but their armies are all relatively small. So, I'd do something along the lines of let each of them pick a kit or something equivalent and get it for them. I mean, where's the fun in showing up with $400 worth of new toys and all of them are stuck with the same old, same old?

Turkadactyl

If possible complete my Sisters army with Immolators, otherwise Tervigons/Tyrannofexes.

Since a small human is turning up soon figured it would keep me knee deep in plastic while other half is not working.

So MOAR orks, maybe some more Ogres and then that DC 1000 starter list I have my eye on :D

More Death Company, some special character.

03-15-2012, 07:20 AM
If I win... likely I will be adding some more fun Necron units (Maybe a Monolith, some Crypteks, some Destroyers, maybe one of the names HQs too) but I would also likely be helping my gf build up her Chaos Marine army, too ;) I blame her for getting me into 40k, too... ;)

Chaoschrist
03-15-2012, 07:24 AM
Probably I'd stock up a bit on Black reach models (Terminators & marines) and see from there. Still have a Deathwing army planned sometime soon.

Might even expand my Grey knights a bit so I can mix up my armylist a bit more.

Cavematt
03-15-2012, 08:17 AM
Big bugs. Two tervigons, a winged tyrant, some raveners, and gaunts

benzo12
03-15-2012, 08:21 AM
Skaven, lots and lots of Skaven. Probably only need about $200 worth of that though, so the rest will most likely go to buying a few things to bulk up my 40k armies.

gingerkid
03-15-2012, 09:34 AM
If I get it I'll boost up my tau and marines , maybe just tau actually.......... I love those blue fishy guys :-)

Deadlift
03-15-2012, 09:52 AM
A mate of mine and fellow hobbyist and myself are looking at starting an after school club for some of the kids interested at the school he teaches. So some scenery and a few additions to the army's we have so my pride and joy models don't end up getting covered in sticky fingers.

Orks. So many Orks.

03-15-2012, 02:55 PM
If I win I have promised my GF I will start the 'Camp Soldier Army' which is basically a Catachan Jungle Fighter army (which she saw at warhammer world and thought looked extremely camp). The paint scheme will be based on the film Tropic Thunder...

I kid you not.

Wildcard
03-16-2012, 06:23 AM
Two options:

1. I would boost my IG-force with few leman russes, and some guardsmen and hwt squads to bolster existing company + to make a second. Then, second valkyrie and hellhound and few chimeras (only got 1 of these each so far)

2. Grey Knights: 3rd Dreadknight (i've fallen in love with these :) ), couple of razorbacks, 2-3 boxes of terminators, 2 boxes of strike squads (+ sanquinary guard jump pack bits to make super cool interceptor squad). This however is a bit under scrutiny, since if 6th. ed wont bring some more or less major change to how potent the interceptors are, then i would probably just go with the regular GKSS. Also, i've always looking a good reason to get me a 3rd landraider and 3rd stormraven.. :)

which leads me to a bit of a sidetrack question: I have already built 2x landraiders and 2x razorbacks (gw-stock variants).. However, i would very much like to change the doors for the ForgeWorld GK-themed doors: Now, i am not a master with a blade and hammer; how easy would it be to dismantle the already built doors and swap for the new ones? (the opening mechanics wont need to work after the transformation)

Sinistermind
03-16-2012, 06:48 AM
hmm i would probably get a little tau for the ForgeWorld battlesuit tau im building (i still need hammers/devils/firewarriors) then i would also get the new tyranid kits, whatever is left goes to razorbacks

Necron2.0
03-16-2012, 07:19 AM
Actually, given the recent shenanigans from a handful of "valedictorians" <cough, cough> on this site, I'm thinking of putting together a space marine army with Treasure Troll heads.

Kaiserdean
03-16-2012, 09:26 AM
I toured a marble making shop recently and they had a selection of "eyeball" marbles. The smaller size would be about perfect head swap for Chaos SM or Warriors of Chaos...

Nick Soapdish
03-16-2012, 03:15 PM
I'd probably finish up my Chaos Space Marines with some more summoned demons (my wife loves those). Then I'd try to complete my WFB Dwarf army.

If I had any funds left over I'd probably buy some Fire Dragons for my Eldar....Meltagun! :)

Nightspawn
03-16-2012, 05:07 PM
I'll just get a bunch of stuff for a new army then tell my wife I paid for it out of our account just to piss her off.

03-16-2012, 07:36 PM
I would like Imperial Guard please, or Skaven. Or Imperial Skaven Guard. Or, possibly, zombies. Or, maybe, just maybe, Zombie Imperial Skaven Guard. Yep. that's what I want.

Gorechilde
03-16-2012, 11:06 PM
I would get some Chimera's for my Guard. Some RPG books and some Invasions cards, and then if I have some left...I don't know.

elmo.a69
03-17-2012, 02:58 PM
If I were to win I would put it towards building up my grey knights. I would however spend a little to get a box of wolf guard terminators.

i just started a new tau army for some reason. i really need to stop ordering stuff online in the middle of the night.

I would make an imperial guard armoured company, or guants ghosts, or even perhaps a fully light up necron army, as it is one of my dreams

perhaps some Bretonians! :)

hammer hades

I'm not quite sure. I think I'd probably do a 40k army - perhaps Eldar?

White Tiger88
03-21-2012, 06:25 PM

Colonel Falkenberg
03-21-2012, 08:30 PM
I'm not sure what I'd yet. I have a huge IG army. My Grey Knights are complete now after yesterday's spending spree, and my Blood Angel company is complete also...

Either Eldar or Thousand Sons... not that I need another marine army but they do look cool.

Pandarchon
03-21-2012, 08:34 PM
Those Grey Knights are just downright gorgeous.

PlaguedOne
03-21-2012, 09:12 PM

Urza8188
03-26-2012, 05:35 AM
I would use a couple hundred to finish my 2k tau list which includes about 6 more crisis suits 3 piranha and 5 stealthsuits. After that id likely spend the rest on something nice for my wife to paint and a couple larger Tyranid models. I still don't have any Tervigon and the new models are pretty :).

Myabe i would buy some new friends on the forum. lol

03-26-2012, 05:47 PM
If the chaos rumors come out to be true I'll be holding out for that. If not then I'll use it to flesh out my necrons/warmachine armies. Maybe even save for the Cryx colossal.

Tzelanit
03-26-2012, 09:26 PM

Hive777

I'd start a 2nd army--most likely Space Marines or Eldar. I currently play nids, and I'd want something that would contrast with them nicely.

SotonShades
03-27-2012, 01:10 PM
Think i'll probably fill out my marines so I've got a full first company and a full tactical company. Probably have a few bucks left over, so... More koptas?

Harmonious Borealis
03-27-2012, 04:16 PM
I'd probably get some of the new SW stuff, some of the upcoming Empire stuff to use as Storm of Magic for my Brets, fill some holes in those armies, and then pitch the rest towards Circle Orboros stuff. And maybe a Fantasy Flight RPG book or 2.

Possibly before that, whatever my significant other wants ;)

LexIcon
03-28-2012, 11:51 AM
I'd like some more coven stuff for my DE, I only have 5 wracks right now. If Corsairs were more standard-acceptable, I'd be interested in them too.

But, looking at the amount of stuff I haven't finished, I'd probably just bank it for a while and see if Night Lords become a viable option. I do love me some Raptors. :)

gcsmith
03-28-2012, 11:56 AM
probably the new empire, or a brony marine army.

stewy37
03-29-2012, 11:46 AM
MOAR GUARD!! I need some more Cadians, chimeras, a couple more Russes, and maybe a banewolf. If there's anthing leftover, I might go ahead and pick up some Sword Brethren and Grimaldus. I don't have any Templars, but they're my second favorite army after Space Wolves. I would have started them as my second army, but I wanted something different, and Guard are awesome.

03-30-2012, 07:15 AM

I have a million Mutant Chronicles troopers (from the bag of 80 for like £10, wow a bargain!) but no vehicles to go with them, so I'd be stocking up on Imperial Guard tanks. They are destined to be Khorne and Nurgle worshipping traitors for use with the Vraks lists, and hopefully the next Chaos Space Marine codex if it allows my Alpha Legion to field cannon fodder cultists/traitor guard again!

Actually even if I don't win I'm happy to have been prodded into registering with this forum, I've posted enough on the blog, don't know why I never got round to posting here. Nice to meet you all! :-)
