I can't decide whether or not I want to troop build crimson guards, BATS, or vipers. Also, I don't know which type I should get. If I build with crimson guards, should I use the troop builders using the TRU set or should I buy 8 of the 25th crimson guards for $29.00? If I build a BAT army, should I use the DTC BATS that came out in 2002? I also saw another set of troop builder BATS but not sure when they came out. I know the DTC BATS have the 0-rings in them. Should I buy a bunch of the 25th BATS? The same goes for the vipers as the BATS. I saw a troop builder set of Vipers, but not sure when they came out and if I should just buy a bunch of the 25th vipers. I would prefer to buy them brand new. Thaoughts? Thanks guys.

Army building is based on your likes and dislikes alone, no one can tell you what you have to buy. You have to decide what you want, and how many of each you need.
If you like CGs, then the TRU set is a good way to start. It's got to be cheaper than buying several 25th figures. I try to have teams of 3 or 6 of each army builder with the rare commanders whenever I can find them. As for BATs, there has not been a multi-pack released of the 25th/Modern figures. There was a canceled set which is rumored to be coming out next year, but nothing is certain. There have been a few versions of the 25th BAT including the carded version, the Resolute, and the Battle Damaged. I tried to get three of each.

A couple years ago, Vipers would have been the way to go.
Not only were there single carded versions, but also the comic packs that came with an Iron Grenadier. Some of them even ended up being clearanced in my area. In terms of Crimson Guard, it's what ever you prefer, if $ is an issue, stock up on the TRU 5 packs that are now $15, you'll also be saving $ on shipping. As for BATS, I love them all, my army consists of BATS from Spy Troops, VvV, all the way to the current 25th. However, the 25th are damn cool, if you have the $, I suggest a bit of both. |

I prefer to army build CGs only from the TRU 5 pack...mainly because the mask is silver and not black and you get a squad leader. I army built 25th vipers until the chrome masks came out and then I kind of stopped. 25th bats i have about 15 not counting the HoHs or the resolute repaints ( i just havent figured out how to explain the different coloring )
In short...look at your options and decide which you like the best and try sticking to that decision for at least 10 to 15 times before you change your mind...remember you can always change your mind again...and again...and again. |
