Getting Started: Building a Scourge Starter Army - Cost Analysis

Playstyle: Play Scourge IF you like:

• Shotgun to Face: The Scourge have the shortest threat ranges in the game but if they hit they will most likely kill you.  Yeah, think FPS games!
• Zerg Rush: Prowlers can be fielded en mass like Zergs from StarCraft.
• Burn Baby Burn: Tormentors are one of the best units in the game IMO.  There's nothing like a fresh smell of napalm when starting DropZone Commander!
• Corsairs: Heaviest hitting Fast Movers (fighters) in the game.  They truly are the cheapest air-to-air/air-to-ground unit in the game.  Fighter-bombers if you will.
• Fastest conventional army in the game.

Note: All prices are in pounds at MSRP.

Starter Army: 68

Individually:
6x Warriors - 12
3x Hunters - 10
3x Reapers - 10.5
2x Invaders - 10
3x Marauders - 30  (10 each)
1x Scourge Command Deck - 5
Total = 77.5

Since I think Invader APCs (unless there is a new convoy mission) are useless, by buying the Scourge Starter Army, you basically get the Invaders for free.

Note: If you split the new 2-player starter box with a friend, you get everything except the command deck for 30 (let's add the command cards for 35).

Cost Efficient Starter Army:  This is cheapest build that will allow you experience the DropZone experience IMO.  I do believe you need Command, Scout and Fast Movers to get the full experience.

Clash: 973/1000 points
DEMO Army (Not meant to be tournament level.  Just to get used to the mechanics.)

        Oppressors [225 pts]
            Desolator: Desolator(Master) [225 pts]
        Vanguard [304 pts]
            Hunter Squad: 3x Hunter, Marauder [146 pts]
            Reaper Squad: 3x Reaper, Marauder [158 pts]
        Warriors [188 pts]
            Warrior Horde: 2x Warriors, Intruder Alpha [94 pts]
            Warrior Horde: 2x Warriors, Intruder Alpha [94 pts]
        Occupation Patrol [120 pts]
            Prowlers: 4x Prowler, Intruder Beta [60 pts]
            Prowlers: 4x Prowler, Intruder Beta [60 pts]
        Attack Swarm [136 pts]
            Corsairs: Corsair [68 pts]
            Corsairs: Corsair [68 pts]

Individually, parentheses (numbers of blisters):

1x Desolator (1)- 17.5
2 x Marauders (2)- 20
3x Hunters (1)- 10
3x Reapers (1)- 10.5
4x Warriors (1)- 12
2x Intruder Alphas (1)- 10.5
8x Prowlers (1)- 9
2x Intruder Betas (1)- 10.5
2x Corsair (1)- 10
Command Card - 5
Total = 115

Components not in the Scourge Starter Army = 57.5
Scourge Starter + Extra Components (68 + 57.5) = 125.5.
So if you split the 2-Player Starter Box = 92.5.
