Err guess you did miss the orignal had big long list of PAINTED
minatures including 8 Gargants and over 8 clans worth of infantry
under the old system. I played SM/TL quite a bit but only played one
E40k game in GW store and that wasn't done using points and
detachment cards(I wanted to but they said to do by eye). Plus as Im
busy at the mo only get chance to paint not play therefore
playtesting is not possible and want to figure best order to paint.

This was asking peoples opionions on what units are important in E40k
that wernt as much so as in old system and new. I have only got 2
flak wagons and 2 wierdboy towers at mo is that enough etc.
Again time constraints mean can't playtest but have some time to
paint. Don't want to spend money and time painting units I will
hardly ever use in games.

I guess I can but was asking opions and for help, people normally
don't seem to mind offering those on this list and I certainly try
to for others even with my limited knowledge.
Never was very succesfull in SM/TL but I guess going up against 2
Imerators, 2 Cyclops and Warlords with Vortex missiles and Plasma
destructers(maybe be wrong weapon name cant remeber of tope of head)
didnt help (some people on the list sometime ago told me not to play
this guy again because of extreme chesse factor but was only guy
could find at the time that was local).

I usually would play quite a lot of Gofs for good CC and mostly go
for low point troops to get force of numbers but usually the marine
player had more minatures than me in the game for same points value,
the opposite of all GW literature.
Liked Kult of Speed and doing similar with Boarboyz hence 15 Nobz
Warbikes stands, 30 warbuggies, 15 stands of Boarboyz painted (all
the minis I had only bought 6 invasion sets when had SM/TL)

Is it worth me reposting the list do you think or will I get no
replies?
