What is the most expensive 50 pt list

[PG_LonelyMonk]

The title says it all

[PG_petegrrrr]

eNemo
Thunderhead
Stormwall x2
Maybe a squire depending on how much stormwalls cost in game.

About $360

The bar has been set, now leap it!

[drazz00]

Trollbloods infantry horde?

Two full kriel warriors, with 3 cabers each plus 1 standard and piper
full krielstone unit

That's well over $200 and only 26 points so far...

[PG_Cloud-Gatherer]

I'm going to say:

Madrak1 (Tier 4 Theme Force)
>Axer
>Impaler
>Swamp Troll
3x 10 Kriel Warriors + UA + 3WA
2x 6 Pyg Bushwhackers

But that's just a gut feeling based on the fact that Kriel Warriors are god-awful expensive from a points/dollar perspective.

ETA: According to my calculations, that's $540.76 MSRP. Colossals got nothin' on Kriel Warriors.

[skraal]

pMadrak $11.50
Axer $21.99
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (UA) ($98.96)

$684.17

(no sure if this is legal did it in ibodger)

also

pGoreshade $12.99
5 x stalkers 35.99
feat 6x bane thralls: $49.99
10x bane thralls + UA $107.99
10x bane thralls $79.99
10x bane thralls $79.99
3x machine wraith $41.97
10x nyss hunters $59.97

$468.99 (ive played a list close to this one before to good effect)

[Drzombieface]

Since Krakens are most likely 18 points:

Morty
Deathjack
Kraken
Kraken
Necrotech x2
Scrap Thralls (3)
Warwitch Siren

$401.92 USD before various taxes

And if Krakens are allowed to be in her tier list, it's a Tier 4.


I think being a viable list should be a factor. Spamming Kriel Warriors is just... not.

[PG_Cloud-Gatherer]

It's hilarious and sad that 3 of the first 4 replies immediately went to Kriel Warriors. If any unit in the game needs to resculpted in plastic, it's those poor guys.

[PG_petegrrrr]

Nah, kriels are field allowance 3.

pMadrak $11.50
Axer $21.99
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (3x caber thrower, 1 x UA) $137.93
10x kriel warriors (UA) ($98.96)

$684.17

(no sure if this is legal did it in ibodger)

That'd probably give me a reason to have more than 1 maxed out unit of them. I couldn't even complete them till a few weeks ago after starting Trolls years ago. Plus they might not look bad in plastic with a slight resculpt...

[drazz00]

Adding troll battlewagons on top helps as well.

[under]

Nah, kriels are field allowance 3.

Madrak1 Tier makes Kriels Warriors, UA, and 3WA into FA:U.

Oh trolls, you so expensive!

[PG_Duckboy]

Lower mulg to mauler and add another runshaper.

[Gen_eV]

Kriel Warriors?
How about eight max units with pMadrak, no UAs or WAs? (Except the free one, obviously?)

Leaves you with two points, so you can afford a pair of Swamp Trolls at $42 more. Comes in somewhere north of $700.

[PG_Steampunk Jim]

Ha ha, was actually in the process of editing when you posted. Boosts the total to $680!

Oh crap! you don't even need Janissa to get the discount on runeshapers! Drop her and add another unit. Puts it at about $708.

Is that the top? The pMadrak kriel warrior swarm comes out to exactly 700.

[skarreslave2]

well plenty of examples of expensive. While we are on the exercise how about what is the cheapest 50pt army you can buy(at full retail)

[PG_Cloud-Gatherer]

Sorscha1
4 Destroyers
2 Decimators
Reinholdt

$177 if you buy two battleboxes and two heavy jack kits (using the spare arms to turn the BB Juggernauts into Decimators).

[Skorpius47]

Couldn't Cryx do a bit of something as well? Bloodgorgers, Slaughterborn, Soulhunters, Terminus, Deathjack, Nightmare, Wraith Engine, a couple of upgrade kits that cost more money for only a couple of extra points. Mechanithralls cost quite a bit of cash for such a small amount of points, too.

You mean like IMakeGoodwin'sLawHappen's list, not 7 posts above yours?

And, for the record, I'm fairly certain it can be made more expensive if you change Terminus to Scaverous and add in a Machine Wraith with the extra point

Pretty sure you can't, I think there's a limit of 3 machine wraiths per warcaster.

[PG_warlordgarou]

Is it wrong that I look at some of these lists, and think "Yeah, I need to get a couple of units of those. And those. And I don't have nearly enough of those."

It's too bad that I can't sell a kidney or something. Not one of mine, of course, I need both of them - but I am sure that I could scrounge up a human kidney from somewhere.

[Skorpius47]

Yeah! Pretty much like that one post I skipped over! Haha.. oops.
You might be able to squeeze out the Slayer and three Brute Thralls to put in a Wraith Engine giving the list an extra $20 or so.

EDIT: Nope, nevermind. Underestimated the cost of a Brute Thrall.

Just take someone into a dark alley and have them mysteriously wake up in a bathtub filled with ice minus one kidney. That's the story of why I have a Wraith Engine.

And I know that sort of thing can happen, because I read it on the internet somewhere.

My first goal is to get close to one of each unit, etc. Then I can go back and work on the spam lists, where I need four or five of the same unit.

[Chip]

Pretty sure you can't, I think there's a limit of 3 machine wraiths per warcaster.

Durp. And in the same post as I call someone else out for not reading - there's a lesson there somewhere :P

[allistorpreist]

Well, for the list I actually built I got up to $350

Captain Jeremiah Kraye (*6pts) 25.99
* Hunter (6pts) 16.99
* Minuteman (5pts) 23.99
* Cyclone (9pts) 34.99
* Stormclad (10pts) 30.99
Steelhead Heavy Cavalry (Leader and 2 Grunts) (6pts) 59.99
Storm Lances (Leader and 4 Grunts) (11pts) 59.99 + 19.99 + 19.99
Alexia, Mistress of the Witchfire (4pts) 29.99
Major Katherine Laddermore (5pts) 29.99

But to take it further there is the Khador attempt at that list that only becomes possible with the new Horselord Vlad.

Vladimir Tzepesci, the Great Prince of Umbrey(*5pts) 39.99
* Drago (8pts) 59.99
Iron Fang Uhlans (Leader and 4 Grunts) (11pts) 59.99 + 19.99 + 19.99
Fenris (5pts) 44.99
Kovnik Markov (4pts) 27.99
Man-o-war Drakhun (without dismount) (4pts)
Gun Carriage (9pts) 84.99
Steelhead Heavy Cavalry (Leader and 4 Grunts) (10pts) 59.99 +19.99 + 19.99
Alexia, Mistress of the Witchfire (4pts) 29.99

Putting me (if I made this one) at about $490. Mind you, these are lists I would actually build and play if I could. As was the blue tide (madrak and the kriel warriors) until I added up the costs. It is hard to top Battle Engines and Cavalry for dollar intensive costs.

If I were just determined to spend money the kriel warriors and runeshapers are the most expensive points to dollars fellow in the game besides solos at a whoping $13 and change per point. Sword Kinights, Iron Fangs and bane thralls all come in at over $10 a point making them outcost even Cavalry and battle engines.

So for a non-troll, expensive but feasable list I give you the cryx money spender!

Cont in next post

Assuming two swamp trolls, it's 719 - don't forget the free UA. pDoomie, 16 Runeshapers, and an Extreme Mauler are 722.

Friend it's a slippery slope, next thing you know, you're trading your (or someone elses) first born to get a colossal early.

Yeah, they're a bit pricier than I was expecting, that and I needed to use the 4 warjack points somewhere, can't really spend them on a Wraith Engine.

Pretty sure Trolls take the top two spots though with as per my calculations:
pDoomshaper at #1 with $721
pMadrak at #2 with $719
Terminus at #3 with $661

[PG_warlordgarou]

Wheeee! Wow, that was a fun slide. Can I go again? :P

I can wait until August (and GenCon) for my colossals. I wouldn't even come close to painting them before then anyway.

I was making a list for the "most expensive", but my eIrusk list, with 2 gun carriages, was only in the $500 range or so. Nowhere close to the $700 bar currently being set.

[allistorpreist]

Lich Lord Venethrax (*6pts) 19.99

579.75


I will see what I can do for cheapest tommorow

[IMakeGoodwin'sLawHappen]

Just noticed pGorshade needs bane thralls for his feat as someone pointed out, has a couple extra warjack points, freeing up two points for some more necrotechs, bringing it up to $700, if they discontinue the old banethralls you'll be stuck with the ten man unit, putting it up to $730, could be first, but for now it's 3rd.

I don't have the patience to work out the theoretical cost of this army. In addition to the above models, you must purchase:
*A min unit of Bane Thralls for the feat.
*Enough Bane Thralls to feed Tartarus chopping apart a 50 point army made out of the cheapest possible fodder.
*Enough Revenant Crew to feed Rengrave killing the army instead.
*Enough Ghost Raiders to feed Blackbane killing the army instead.
*Enough Drudges to feed the Overlords killing the army instead.
*Enough McThralls to feed the Necrosurgeon recycling the entire army instead.
*Enough Scrap Thralls to feed the Necrotech turning as cheap an army of warjacks as possible into Scrap Thralls.
*Enough warjacks to feed the Combine eating the same army instead.

Oh dear lord. hahaha

If we're hitting up that train of thought, how about running some Mercs?
Magnus the Warlord is $16.99
Buccaneer is silly expensive ($19.99 / 3pts = $6.66 / 1pt) x 2 = $39.98
Alexia and the Risen ($36.99) @ 5pts
- Risen models x3 ($9.99)
- Risen models x3 ($9.99)
- Risen models x3 ($9.99)
- Thrall Warrior solos x 20 ($7.99 ea / $159.80 total)
TOTAL: $226.76 for the whole unit, maxing out at 20 Risen and one Thrall Warrior for each.
Ogrun Bokur is pretty expensive for the points: ($22.99 / 3pts = $7.66 / 1pt)
Steelhead Calvary is like $10 per point. Box (59.99) + 2x Blister (19.99ea) = $99.97
Sea Dog Deck Gun ($17.99 / 2pts = $8.99 / 1pt) x 2 = $35.98
Press Gangers! x2 ($29.99 / 4pts = $7.49 / 1pt) x 2 = $59.98
Sea Dog Crew! But we should buy a second box so that we have enough models for Press Gangers' Shanghai. ($49.99 x 2 = $99.98)
Boomhowler Co. Box (47.99) + Blister x2 (15.99ea / 31.98) = $79.97
Thor Steinhammer to fill out the points @ $11.99
GRAND TOTAL = $694.59

How'd I do?

Tragic thing is I actually spent the time to try and calculate it, $395 for the army.
max enemy models I calculated was 87 grunts/solo model things, 19 light jacks, 11 heavies at 50 points.
gives us
$677 on Bane Thralls (including feat)
$440 on Ghost Raiders
$484 on Drudges
$405 on Mechanithralls
$440 on Revenant Crew
$266 on Light jacks (either Helldivers or Scavengers)
$385 on Heavy jacks (any of the ones for $35)
$242 on Scrap Thralls
Total, $3734

And don't get me started on facing casters with revive, where as turns approach infinity cost increases to infinity. I think we've found our most expensive list right here, it puts all others to shame.
