Rat face


hey hey

just signed up...with the launch of eighth im hopping into fantasy, played 40k for a while.

im still deciding between beastmen and skaven, leaning toward skaven cause of starter set, but that also means there will be lots of skaven players(like me).

anyway i was just wondering what the points value of the current battleforce/battalion? also if the current rumors about 8th starter set are accurate what is estimated points value of that?

i know you cant give specifics, i just need a rough comparison with the cost of beastmen. i have no fear about painting tons of models, i actually enjoy it, but money is an issue(with the wife anyway) so the starter set seems like a decent start (duh).

also, please feel free to add an pertinent info or to move this thread if its in wrong spot..

thanks!!

I think the battalion points value is between 500 - 1000pts, and the starter set is between 1000 - 1500pts per army (it all comes down to upgrades, weapon choices, etc).

Are you looking to get to a particular points value?
You kids these days have it so easy, what with your Plague Furnaces and your Hellpit Abominations and your Bonebreaker Warlords. Back in MY day, all we had was Slaves and Clanrats!...and auto-hit Ratling Guns...and skirmishing Jezzails...and 2D6 Warp Lightning...and Lead From The Back...wait, what was my arguement again?

the lgs is 2250 i think, maybe 2500

im gonna statr small and do 750-1000 chunks

seems like the 2 different sets contain lots of different stuff, i can always add the specialists later

skaven seem to have a bit more variety than the beastmen
