The first purchase (4th April) will consist of:
1x Cadian Battle Force

UPDATE 31st MARCH
My original plan was to combine the catachan arms with the cadian plastics, however whilst flicking through my large WD collection, I decided against it. I will use primerely the catachan plastics, never theless the army will continue.
Unfortunatly, due to serious budget cuts to the defence sector this month, I am only able to purchase one battleforce, this being the catachan battleforce. this still alliws me to build both command platoons, and two sentinel walkers.
4 days until the smaller purchase
