|  Want to start 40k again(in preperation for Apocalypse) Ok, so a few months ago i sold almost all my 40k so i could afford more stuff for my other games, but recently i began looking at Apocalypse and wanted to start up again. So i added up some prices and wanted to know what would be the best way to start... 3 Battleforces 2 Megaforces wait for the new boxed sets to come out(ex. Insertion force boxed set) I personally want to do the first idea, which would cost me roughly $270 plus tax and give me 3 squads of fire warriors, 3 squads of kroot, 3 Devilfish, 1 squad of Crisis suits, and 3 squads of Stealth suits. It seems to be the best deal, and will probobly cost me less than the other choices while still giving me a large amount of troops and elites(not to mention a very mobile force). -Eric P.S. I have yet to buy the book, so i am completly clueless on points values.

| I'm working on that via Bartertown. -Eric P.S. The thing about the megaforce is that it would be more expensive and it would give me stuff i don't want to pay for(ex. pirahnas).

| most people start out with 2 battleforces, because they usually contain the standard troops almost all armies of that race are going to contain. thats a very good start for tau, and in addition to the 2 battleforces i think you should get the codex (duh) and a hammerhead box. that box has parts for 3 different tanks that are very useful in different situations. fire warriors are the staple of any good tau force. they are, IMHO, the best ranged infantry in the game. period. a firing line of them is awesome. so starting up with tau, 2 battleforces is your best bet IMO.
