Mental Note

If I ever give into the temptation to do a Guard army, it's going to either be AdMech, or Helghast (from Killzone).

Mental note: High Elf Archers + headswap, =....Helghast?

16 high elve archers ($35) + box of heads from Pig Iron ($5) + 20 Lasgun Arms ($14)

In bits...

4 High Elf Archer Legs ($8) + 4 Torsos ($3) + 10 Lasgun Arms ($7) + 20 heads ($5)...

20 High Elf Archer Legs ($40) + ($15) 20 Torsos + 20 Arms ($14) + 20 heads ($5) = $65 for 20 guardsmen.

2x35 for 32 High Elves, + $21 in arms + $7.50 in heads = $107 for 30 guardsmen.

Ugh. Damn if trench-coat-like guard aren't pricy.

2 boxes of Cadians ($44) + 20 heads ($5) + 20 legs (5x7=35) = $85

Well, the REAL conclusion is that there's no way to build a guard army in a cost-effective manner.

EDIT:
16 High Elf Archers ($35) + 16 loose lasguns (4x2=$8) + 20 heads ($5) = $48.

DING DING DING. WINNER!

...now to see if I really DO want to do a Guard army.
