I picked up a massive score of Imperial Guard and Space Marine figures during the flea market of a con this weekend. It's approximately 4k+ points of IG and 1K+ of Marines. Here is what is included:

Imperial Guard:
• HQ (including Master of Ordnance & Yarrick)
• Ogryn Squad
• Storm Trooper Squad (1 flamer, 1 GL)
• Guardsman Marbo
• 6 Cadian Shock Troop Squads (1 squad with 2 GL, 4 squads with 1 GL, 1 squad with 3 flamers)
• 18 Heavy Weapons Squads (8 lascannons, 3 mortars, 4 missile launchers, 2 autocannons, and 1 heavy bolter)
• 5 Catachan Squads
• 3 Chimera Transports
• 2 Manticores
• 3 Basilisks (with heavy bolter)
• 3 Sentinels (2 with autocannon and 1 with missile launcher)
• 1 Hellhound (with heavy bolter)
• 1 Leman Russ Executioner (with plasma cannon sponsons and lascannon)
• 1 Leman Russ Demolisher (with 2 plasma cannons)
• 1 Leman Russ Punisher (with plasma cannon and lascannon)
• 1 Leman Russ (with 3 heavy flamers)
• 1 Leman Russ (with lascannon and 2 heavy bolters)
• 1 Vendetta
• 1 Baneblade
• Aegis Defense Line

Marines (Imperial Fists)
• 6 Terminators
• 5 Assault Marines
• 1 Chaplain
• 1 Command Squad
• 3 Tactical Squads
• 1 Dreadnaught (with lascannon and heavy flamer)
• 1 Rhino

Any advice on some 1850 pt. and 3000 pt. beginner lists using this massive pool of models? Not willing to put in more cash until I am sure 6th Ed. is for me. I used to play 40K a lot back in the 3rd/4th Ed. days but have been out of the game since so it's been a while. Thanks for any advice you can offer!!

Thanks! I'll give it a try. Anyone else?

Also, are there online or iOS based army list builders that people like for 40K? I play a lot of Infinity and am really spoiled by the army list tool on their website.

Try www.epicroster.com. They're pretty good, though they are still working out the bugs.
