New year. New Army - Well sorted of.

Liam Dempsey's YouTube channel has set up a challenge to hobby 200pts of Army per month. 

 To hit the challenge I would like to do a Mechanicum force for both 40k and potentially Horus Heresy.
 Only problem being I can't afford 200pts per month.
 Co pilot says it's about £0.23/point so that's equivalent to £46 per month. I guess I can afford around £30. Not saying that's what I spend. That's what I can afford.
 Only thing is it doesn't work that way. Rangers are £30ish and only come to 85pts (in 10th) so I would need to do 2.
 A dragoon is 60pts for £40. So £120.

 Hard to see how I am keep that up but there is a plan. 
 Xmas has been kind and I have a bunch of presents including a self Santa. On the shelf I have.

3 Space marine outriders 
1 Land Raider Proteus
1 Knight Questorus
1 Mechanicus Dragoon.
1 Mechanicus Battleclade.

 On top of that I have a bunch of un finished models.

 A Mechanicus Dunecrawler
2x Knight Armigers
A Mechanicus Thanata
4x  Mechanicus casttelex robots 
6x Mechanicus Thallex
A Kharadon Baron kitbashed Manipulus
3x Kharadon Endrinriggers / Mechanicus Skytalons. (With three more on the way)
10x Infernus marines (8th Company)
10x first born Devastators (4th company)
10x kitbashed phobos Devastators (5th company)
3x Outriders (6th Company)

 That's really just the start of the list I have a lot more that I have battle readied over the years that could do with actually taking up a notch in their look.

 What would I do if money was no object? I have 4 ideas.
 A full Knights army. Multiple big knights starting with a Paladin, then the two big Dominus Knights then an Errant and maybe a Warden.

 Second would be my Death Tempter Space marine 6th Company list. Two full Outrider squads with 2 ATVs, kitbashed characters, all on bikes (even the ones that can't) squad of intercessors with Impulsors and maybe a Tac squad in a couple of Razorbacks. All the floaty boat Hammer strike Thunderstrike business and the Storm talons. Two for performance.

I wanted to make 8th company a pseudo Blood Angels company with the Deaths Curse. Squad of assault intercessors as a Death Company. 

Then there's my Mechanicus army.

Kharadrons instead of Vanguards
TI have these. Suckers to be built
Over Christmas I got lots of Cybernetica I am planning to proxy as 40k robots
 
Lots of stuff to go at and hopefully by the end of the year a full army to put on the field.
