you recently finished the Battle for Macragge missions
and want to jump into more Warhammer 40,000. Perhaps you're
a new hobbyist who likes a challenge. Either way, you want
to start a brand-new, Apocalypse-ready army, and you're wondering
if it's possible.

It
can be done! One way to build up an Apocalypse-scale army
from nothing is to collect battle formations and legendary
units. For example, two of the super-heavy
Baneblade tanks will occupy 1,000 points. Of course, the Forge
World
models
consume
thousands of points. Also, don't overlook the
huge Apocalypse boxed sets. Two Space Marine Armoured Spearheads
will yield roughly 1,800 points for six Land Raider models.
Oh, and don't forget special characters!
Though an Apocalypse army made of a limited number of high-points
models will get you on the Apocalyptic tabletop in a hurry,
there is a catch. Such an army won't translate immediately
into a regular
Warhammer 40,000 force. However, that's not really a big deal,
as you can always come back and pick up some non-gigantic models
once you've played a few games of Apocalypse.
