Apocalypse Plans

Alright, so let me start off by saying, I do not have these models, nor do I plan on getting them any time soon. BUT it is the dream army, which I plan to have before I die.

3 Companies outfitted like my current army, i.e. 3 platoons of 3 squads, 2 platoons with rockets/plasma 1platoon with grenadelauncher/heavy bolters, complete with 30 conscripts as well. and 9 heavy weapons teams, 3 per platoon.

for a total model count at that point of 176 x 3 which would be 528 men so far.

2 stormlord superheavies

Next up, I'd want 2 batteries of 3 basalisks
one battery of 3 manticores.

maybe 5 gorgons, most gorgons I'd go with would be 9, but that's really pushing it. (my current goal is to get three)

one full leman russ tank platoon, of 10 leman russ tanks.

3 vendettas, with 30 stormtroopers

and lastly 2 marauder destroyers.

Alrighty, there we go! Dream army complete. The goal here is to simply be a well balanced, and down right awesome, force. A battalion of guardsmen, complete with batteries and support units. My plan to purchase all of these items is simple. buy it over time. I'll fill you guys in as it comes along, just don't expect any massive build up any time soon. :/

Oh and cost of all this? $

$1200 for the infantry (roughly, I'm not gunna do the math for spreading out the heavy weapons)
$200 for the stormlords
$750 for the gorgons
$500 for the russes
$360 for the basalisks
$130 for the manticores
$500 for stormtrooper vendetta combo
$400 for the marauder destroyers.

Total = $4000
SHEESH... good thing I already have a drop in the bucket :/ but hey, this is dreaming here! Just gotta take out a loan to make it happen, and only use it all once a year. Oh, and this doesn't even cover all the storage this army would take. At least 5 large tackle boxes, easy.
