Holy Zealots and Monolith Bearer

I just won an auction for a unit of 10 Holy Zealots and a Monolith Bearer for $27 on eBay.  That would normally be $61.98 retail, for a discount of 43.6% off retail.  Not bad.  They look to be in pretty good shape based on the below auction photo.  The Monolith Bearer looks like it might need a little work, but that's sort of a hobby non issue at this point.

This purchase leaves me with the Flameguard Cleansers w/Officer and the Vassal Mechanik yet to purchase.  Full retail is $97.97 for those, but I'm definitely not spending that much.  Full Retail for the list is $311.91.  I've spent $66.99 so far.  This has been fun with numbers.

Here is where I am with the 75 point list as of today (assuming the auction comes in the mail ok).

Planned Menoth List

I picked up the Protectorate of Menoth Mk3 Starter Battlegroup yesterday.  It seems like the local community is going to be playing at the 75 point level.  Given that I already have access to some Menoth stuff, it made the most sense to just stick with that and expand.

I actually like the sample list in the Introductory Guide that came with the Battlegroup, so I think I'm going to work towards building it.

Name	Points	Retail Price	# Needed	$ Needed
Malekus, the Burning Truth	-30	39.99	0	0
Repenter	8	0	0	0
Revenger	10	0	0	0
Castigator	12	0	0	0
Vanquisher	17	34.99	0	0
Vassal Mechanik	1	7.99	1	7.99
Choir of Menoth	6	31.99	0	0
Exemplar Cinerators	16	44.99	0	0
Flameguard Cleansers	15	74.99	1	74.99
Flameguard Cleanser Officer	4	14.99	1	14.99
Holy Zealots	13	49.99	1	49.99
Monolith Bearer	3	11.99	1	11.99
				159.95

I only need to purchase five things, with a full retail price of $159.95.  I'm sure I'll be able to negotiate a decent discount by shopping around and checking eBay for deals.  I'm still going to stick with my Mercs/Rhulic idea, but that will top out at 10 points, which I already own.

Since everyone likes pretty pictures, here are all the models that make up the Menoth force I'm putting together...

Warmahordes - Protectorate of Menoth

My friend found out that I was going to be playing Warmachine and told me that me might have a couple of models hanging out.  Turns out he had a full 50 point Legions of Everblight as well as a 34 point Protectorate of Menoth list.  I've decided to work on the Menoth list first.

I'm still learning the game and the units involved, but what you see above is what I have to work with.  The first order of business was to snap the larger models off their bases and do a little basing work.  I like the rounded lips of these bases and think they lend themselves to scenic bases more so than the GW bases.

Here are some of the models rebased...

...and primed.

The list, in case you are wondering, is as follows...

Protectorate of Menoth - 34 Points
