Hey guys,
I'm looking to pick up the new Forgeworld Avatar.
I was hoping to build an army centered around the Avatar and use him as much as i can. I love the look of this model compared to the Forgeworld sword variant. Also he will be a joy to paint ! The idea is it can be in any pt army list you find viable.
I believe i have enough models to really tailor my force against any opponent with prior knowledge of who i am fighting against ( read: multiple army list makeups for the models i have ). I suppose this is for a casual or mildly competitive game ( eg: In store campaign) where i can really use such a lovely model as it. I love the fluff behind this guy and i am doing my own craftworld makeup so it doesn't need to be uber fluffy.
Below is the list of resources my Craftworld currently has access to:
Avatar of Khaine x1- Current GW available one
Eldrad Ulthran x1
Farseer x3 ( 1 SS, 1 dual WB, 1 Staff *new models* )
Warlock x3 ( 1 SS, 2 WB ) - can possibly use the farseers i dint use to join this squad to be the warlocks with 'powers' - plus they look cool and i hate to double up on lock models.
Autarch ( WSG, Mandiblasters, fusion pistol model )
Autarch on Jetbike -Lance ect...
Fire Dragons x 6 (Exarch)
Harelquin Troupe ( Shadowseer, Death Jester, Troupe Master, 9x harlies ) kisses and 2 fusion pistols + kiss
Dire Avengers x 30 ( 3x Exarch )
Rangers x 5
Guardians x 40 - hopefully making these up to be storm guardians as i think i have enough shooty death from the DA's.
Shining Spear Conversions x 4
Warp Spiders x 5 ( Exarch )
Swooping Hawks x 6 ( Exarch )
Vyper x 1 - might use this to make a conversion or use as is.
Wraithlord x 2
War Walker x1 ( can flesh out to 2-3 )
Falcon x 1
Wave Serpent x 3
Fire Prism x 2
Please note these are the base troops i have acquired. I am in the stages of painting them up - You can review my progress here:

Any help and assistance you can give would be muchly appreciated
. If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask as it's 4:15am and I'm sure I've left out a lot!
Cheers,
