Newcomer army! Pointers Please! 750pts
Hi there, new here, this is my first post!
Firstly breif intro, ignore if you wish! Getting back into the hobby after 5-6 years break. Previously I was just collecting fantasy but always loved the GK models but also liked guard. I started getting back into it just before the new codex came out and was taken by the daemonhunters which enabled me to collect GK and guard, awesome...or so i thought! The new codex stopped all that. I must confess I have since been working on my guard as I had more models (take a look at my IG blog here: http://commissar.proboards.com/index.cgi....ay&thread=14436 - sorry for the shameless plug!) But alas the GK have been niggling at the back of my mind and I've decided I want to get a force together!
I am up for all criticism but bear in mind I havn't even played a game since I've got back into the hobby! I'm not a competive tourney player but I want something that is going to (eventually) be able to stand up for itself!
750pts seems to be the first stop on the way to a full size army, I'm also limited by the models I've already got and limited funds for new stuff!
Heres what I've thought:
HQ: Brotherhood Champ 100pts
Elites: 8 Purifiers, 1 hammer, 1 psycannon, 6 halberds 264pts (only configuration due to metal models)
Rhino 40pts
Troops:
5 GKT, Incinerator, 1 hammer, 1 sword, 3 halberds 205pts (only configuration due to metal models)
5 GKSS, 1 hammer, 1 psycannon, psybolts 140pts
Total 749pts
My thoughts are:
-termies are termies, pretty good as is
-purifiers seem to be lethal at CC, chuck in the brotherhood champ and race em into combat with rhino
-SS with psybolts is my shooty unit, perhaps deepstrike in and shoot stuff
pretty sketchy plan i know!
Its probably not the best list and is only a starting block, I know a big unit of purifiers is a bit much but I really like the idea of them and I will expands to a bigger force. Any pointers on what to add next would be good, 1000pts being the next hurdle, I also have a vindicare and some inquistors. Any pointers welcome! Many thanks!

Brother Inquisitor P,
Welcome to the forums.
I beleive the next step would be to add some heavy support and Anti tank - in the form of the Psyriflmen. (That is a dreadnought with 2 Twin linked autocannons and Psybolt ammo) At 135 pts a piece that should get you to over 1000 pts for 2.
The other option to consider would be to look at a GM rather than a Brotherhood Champion.
I found this thread to be good for some pointers on where to start.

all the best with quest to purge in the name of the emperor.

Re: Newcomer army! Pointers Please! 750pts
welcome on board brother
for 750 points i think your list and plans are not so bad.
you could maybe change the BChamp for a Libbie (a little libbie that is or you have to find the points somewhere ) ...

Thanks for the quick feedback guys. I'll take 'not so bad' as a big compliment as its my first attempt at a list! Psyrifleman sounds good as theres little anti-tank. As soon as I upgrade army size a GM or Libbie would be my HQ choice for sure.
Any more pointers welcome!
