Hello everybody!!

I´m pretty new here, I´m spanish but actually living in Austria. I´ve reading this forum (the best about epic of course  :;): ) for some time and now I will start posting...

...and I would want to ask you for some ideas to expand my space marine army, I have basically lots of infantry(2 of each detachment), razorbacks, land raiders, hunters and whirwinds for support.

I was thinking about the dreaded air assault combo with Thunderhawk (I don´t have any air force) plus devastators and assault marines, but I´m not sure about the tactics to follow.

I know that the Warhound is a very good WE for marines, but I don´t like WEs very much (only SH Tanks).

Cheers!!

Or just buy one blister and tell to your opponent that every tank is Annihilator.

I would go for land speeders too. And in epic thunderhawk is nearly must to have. Do you have terminators? They are good too!

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, I have one detachment of Terminators, and I´m planning to get and paint a second one.

Actually I have one blister of speeders with only 4 miniatures inside  :evil: , I will have to buy another one for only one figure. Scratch build the 5th would be too much for me right now.

The thunderhawk is in my list, but how should I use it?? air assault in my first or second activation with one assault and one devastator detachment??

bye.

GW customer service is usually pretty good about fixing packing errors, so give them a call and complain if you still have the blister.  The customer service guys need the packing code off the blister for something, but I've never had any problems with getting packing errors fixed by them.

The only packing errors I've gotten was additional blisters that I didn't pay for...or maybe they were just being nice because of tht huge Eldar order I placed.

Lucky you!!!

I have decided to get a Thunderhawk (air assault, cool!) and Land Speeders (fast, crossfire, support...).

Vindicators are a good adition IMHO, very good anti tank vehicles.

mmmm, I have plenty of laser cannons ( Razorbacks and Land Raiders ) , so no need for the Vindicators (for now, I really like the demolisher cannon).

Any proxies for a ThunderHawk??? minis from EW and DRM don´t fit very well... :sulk:

There is always eBay, but usually the prices are about the same.  I like SM bikes as well, and drop pods are always fun.
