What Should I Buy Next?

[ElectricPaladin]

Hey, all. I'm looking for some advice on what to buy next for my new and growing Space Marines (Blood Ravens) army. Here's what I already have:

1 librarian
1 full tac squad
1 full sternguard squad
2 drop pods
2 small scout squads
5 shooty terminators
2 landspeeder typhoons

I also have the following Blood Angels stuff (which I can easily add to my Blood Ravens through proxying or allies):

1 jump librarian
1 chaplain/reclusiarch
1 terminator librarian
5 stabby terminators
1 full assault squad
1 full death company
1 small devastator squad
2 dreadnoughts
3 razorbacks
1 stormraven

I've got some Tau stuff, too, but let's not go into that right now.

The way I see it, here's the shortlist for what I'll find interesting and cool, and will add a lot to my Blood Ravens force:

1) Predator
2) Land Raider
3) Storm Talon
4) Something Else (if you recommend this option, please explain below)

This list is roughly in order of preference (though 1 and 2 are pretty much tied).

Anyway, I'd love to hear your wisdom and experience. What do you think will add the most, in terms of fun, cool, and competitiveness to my Blood Ravens force?

The next thing you need to buy is a bouquet of flowers for your significant other and an evening out on the town.

Sounds reasonable.

By full death company do you men a 30 man jobby?

This man makes sense, other than that anything but a stormtalon

Ok, ok, I'll buy the wife some flowers! She is quite awesome when it comes to this sort of thing - bought me a box of Sanguinary Guard for Valentine's Day last year - and she has been having a hard time lately. How did you know?

Are stormtalon's bad, or just ugly? I mean, I think they're kind of ugly, but I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until I'd held one... not to mention the benefit of the clippers, glue, plasticard, and greenstuff, if you catch my drift.

Honestly, I'm drifting towards predator. Land raiders are so expensive, and my Blood Ravens aren't an assault force, so the Assault Vehicle benefit would be lost. I'll certainly own one eventually - and probably give it to my Blood Ravens, since my Blood Angels (lots of blood here...) already have a stormraven - but it's not as high priority or as likely to see play.

They're ugly, I like my armies to look nice....

That must have been strain to squeeze out :P

It was produced over a long period

No, just ten black-armored psychos.

I run a Blood Ravens army as well, I think a Storm Talon would be a nice add. I just finished up one I was working on. I'm using it as an Ally to my Tau army and put Devilfish engines on it as well as piranha engines on the rear tail. A little green stuff and sanding it came out good. I run a real shooty Blood Raven army so I went w/ heavy bolter/assault can. on the talon. Either that or maybe more sternguard. They're real awesome now,combi plas/flamer maybe. I run Pedro and a Libby so sternguard are boss for my ravens. Not sure if you have aegis line but their nice too 4 ups behind it. Best of luck!!

I ended up deciding on a Predator. I've decided that I just don't like the Stormtalon. I'm going to wait and see what the mid-size Space Marine flyer ends up being, and wait and see if the Stormeagle comes out in plastic, and in America, as some Forgeworld stuff is wont to do. Predators are good long-range fire support. I also have a pair of spare Heavy Bolter sponsons, which means that all I need to make the Predator fully interchangeable is a spare turret (already on its way via eBay).

Oh yeah, and also, the flowers were a big hit ;).
