$20 St. Sucksday Budget Extension - What Should I Buy?

[ElectricPaladin]

For reasons I won't get into, today really blows. My wife and I have decided to declare it St. Sucksday - after the medieval saint, St. Suck, who is the patron saint of really cr*ppy sh*t - and granted both of us $20 budget extensions.

The question is, what should I get?

Right now, I'm mostly into building my Blood Ravens army, so that's where I want to put the money. Here's what I've got so far (including stuff I've dropped into storage for the time being):

Terminator Librarian w/Storm Shield & Force Weapon
Hammernators
Terminator Librarian w/Storm Bolter
Terminator Chaplain w/Storm Bolter
Shooternators
Power Armor Librarian w/Force Axe & Pistol
Power Armor Captain w/Sword & Pistol
Apothecary
Company Champion

20+ Tactical Marines (1 hvy bolter guy, 1 flamer guy, 1 meltagun guy, 1 missile launcher guy, 2 plasma gun guys, 2 plasma cannon guys)
10 Sternguard Veterans
10 Assorted Scouts

1 Dreadnought (w/many swappable arms)
1 Drop Pod
2 Land Speeder Typhoons
2 Rhinos
1 Land Raider (magnetized for godhammer/redeemer/crusader)

Remember, I've got about 20$. What can should I add to my Blood Ravens collection that will be fun, cheer me up, and generally help turn this day around? Bonus points for something I can use tomorrow, but I'm willing to accept "start adding bikes!" - even though I can't buy a full squad for $20 - if you can tell me how awesome it's going to be.

Given that flyers are pretty much a must have, I'd save it and add it to whatever you have next month and buy a Stormtalon

I started thinking, and then took a quick look at the GW website, and became dismayed. When I was a kid and started out in the hobby, I remember $20 being a gold mine in terms of buying power. I could get a Rhino or maybe even 3 blisters to add a squad. Now that $20 won't even get a finecast character including the tax...

Anyhow, your $20 will only really get you close to a Scout Squad as a useable unit. I'm not sure they really fit into the theme of your army. The one thing I noticed was that you say 20+ tactical marines, and then list 4 units worth of special/heavy weapon combo. Would a few basic marines maybe round out some squads? It isn't that exciting, but it could be useful.

Or, you could go outside the box and hit Radio Shack and try to LED light one of those vehicles you already have. That's what I'm working on right now.

Dear Paladin,
Like you, I am a school teacher. I understand the ins and outs of St. Suck's Day. Go forth, my friend, and buy a bottle of wine and a pizza... it'll do more than any plastic crack will to clear your head!

Carry on, my brother! Have a good school year! Cheers. Cope

A beer would do you more good in a game of 40k then a Talon would.......
