Skaven... you do realise the monthly targets are point based right!?

Not in my initial plan, my 1,000 point starting list is pretty much a mix of Skryre and Pestilens. As I build it up, I'll be theming it as a Clan Mors army though. Mainly so I can have a large unit of Stormvermin with lacquered black and red armour.

Strike that, I've decided to go with my own clan. Reading through the background again, I don't think Mors suits me. Too many characters that have already been named, and they're already one of the most powerful clans. Who wants to play an force that's already at the height of it's power? I'd rather have my own aspiring Warlord suffering his own trials and tribulations (mostly the latter, I suspect).

So, all shall soon tremble before mighty Clan Sciad!

Okay, i think im building up a good picture for myself... ive already bought the models - one necron phalanx box, plus 5 immortals, some additional necron lords (including one destroyer one) and ive found a model to use to convert a c'tan.

so, im building up a better idea of how to break down my goals for each month. (how long are we going for?)

month 1
1x necron lord
20x necron warriors
  =500pts game ready

month 2
5x immortals
20x necron warriors
  =500pts to add, giving 1000pt army

as i build up the 1000pts i can figure out what i want to go onto in months 3 and 4. im afraid to simply say i wanna do more necron warriors - after 40 i might need a bit of a break! but then ive got a few destroyers to get on with anyway!

I too will do exactly 500pts to start

Nov-Dec
(140) Necron Lord with Res Orb.
(180) 10 Necron Warriors.
(180) 10 Necron Warriors.

But after that I will be more conservative. Something more like this.

Jan (bringing it to 750)
(250) 5 Destroyers.

Feb (bringing it to 1000)
(140) 5 Immortals
(110) 2 Tomb Spyders.

Well, this seems like an excellent opportunity to motivate myself to paint my space wolves. I have between 1250 and 1500 points worth of models, most of them assembled, with one rhino painted... If that's a problem, I've been meaning to start a wood elf army for a while now.

My opening force will be 500 points as well and will consist of 1 HQ and 2 Troops.

Sadly, since I'm doing Space Marines I am going to be a little low on models in the early stages.

Total= 500 points

Vulkan He’Stan= 190 points
Yay, a modelling project

Tactical Squad= 195 points
•   10 Marines
•   Flamer
•   Multi-melta
•   Combi-flamer
•   Power weapon

Tactical Squad= 115 points
•   Combi-flamer
•   Power weapon

Well, my starting force has to be 1,000 points, because that's the size of the campaign I'm starting them for. (Mad, mad I tell you!)

Heroes: 234pts

Plague Priest: 124pts
Flail, Warpstone token, Liber Bubonicus

Warlock Engineer: 110pts
Warp-blades, upgraded warp-energy condenser, supercharged warp-power accumulator, storm daemon

Core Units: 350pts

Clanrats: 205pts
20 Clanrats; spears; full command
Ratling gun

Clanrats: 145pts
20 Clanrats; spears; full command

Special: 412pts

Jezzails: 100pts
5 Jezzails

Plague Monks: 162pts
19 Plague Monks; additional hand weapons; standard

Rat Ogres: 150pts
3 packs

Total: 996pts

After what's going to be a lovely, hectic month of speed painting and general annoyances. I'll no doubt be look forward to dropping down to nice, small 250 point increments.

I'm interested; I've been looking for some good motivation without being chastised for my painting skills on 3-point models...  Question: if we're adding to an existing army, can we count a few already-painted models for the required numbers?  For example, I have about 200 points of O&G, of which the Warboss on a boar, 5 boyz, and 15 night goblins are painted, with probably a few more being painted before November.  Could I, for example, use those night goblins are part of the two core units I need done after the first two months?

Gnoblars, and they're 2 each.  But Ogres make up for it with their ~40 point models, so it's all good.

Me, I've got about 100 night goblins with my name on 'em, though I'll probably only put about 60-65 in my list.  And then, of course, the 20 black orcs, 25 orcs, 20 fast cav... +misc

I know what you mean. ;)

If there's enough (pretty much all) support to start october 1st, we can bring the date forward, but only if there's enough. Some might not be able to start until november.

 I would like to be added to the November list. The Codex is not out yet, and I don't mean the boxes but at it's own, and I would make a list firstly...

 Also I would like to revise the question from Benandorf... If I have an already army and want to add to it can I do that army instead of the one I have declared? I was thinking on adding to the Wolves...

TBH, I don't know... I was hoping moc would answer that! ;)

The idea is to get an army made in stages, from the beginning to the high point levels, so as long as your current army isn't already pushing past the low point areas it should be fine... maybe... What does everyone else think?

I can do October 1st instead.. its up to the majority.

And there is no issue to add to an existing force; use your HQ and 2 troops, and then throw in stuff to get it to a Playable variant for the first block (maybe 750 for you).. anyway you get the idea...

Oh and the new Codex is readily available...

10 Tac Marines... Vet with PFist, Flamer, ML = 185pts... Its basically the same cost as before (+1/guy)... Vet come for free, and if you have a full squad you get to add a Flamer and/or ML for free.

What else do you need, now... 6 full Tac squads... a leader, and 2-3 Full Dev squads and you have everything to win... More boys, less Toys is the serious Win Win Win for SMurf's in this codex... Add Rhino if you want some added mobility (but even that is not a must have)...

 I think that the Codex will be available in stores on October 4th or 6th... unless you buy the Vanguard/Stenguard boxes where you get the Codex...

 If the majority goes for October 1st I will accept...

 And I will be doing 750pts a month as a penalty... ;-)
