Expanding my Menoth army on a budget: ideas please?

[magath]

Hi guys

So, I'm not a massive fan of war machine, but I bought an army so I could play with my friends and I ended up going for Menoth. Basically, Im on a tight budget (about £70 over 4 months) and I have the following so far:

High Examplar Kreoss
Repenter
Revenger
Crusader
Unit of deliverers (6 men)
Vigilant
Choir of Menoth (3 models)

So thats three light Jacks, 1 heavy jack, 1 unit and caster, plus choir.

I've been thinking of upgrading and getting the following:
Knights Exemplar (6 man plastic box)
Protectorate Exemplar Cinerators Unit (5 man box)
Protectorate Paladin of the Order of the Wall
Castigator

That way, I have a selection of 3 units, 3 light jacks, 2 heavy jacks, the choir, kreoss and a secondary character.

Any thoughts on this?

it comes down to how you want to play really, the units you listed to get are all quite good. The cinerators are boss

Personally I think that Exemplar errants with UA are amazing with pKreoss. His feat synergises very well with their Quick work rule.
The Cinerators are a bit slow, but with Defender's ward they become very resilient, and when they do reach their target they hit pretty hard. They're also good at clearing out bunched-up infantry.
Menoth will get a second plastic warjack kit at the end of July, with that kit you can build either a Castigator, a Reckoner or a Sanctifier, so I'd really recommend waiting for that kit and then magnetise it for more options jack-wise. I'm fairly certain that you'll grow a bit frustrated at the Castigator's lack of ranged weapons combined with its slow speed and lack of reach, so having the ability to switch it out for a Reckoner or Sanctifier when you feel like it is a great thing.

best advice i can give is get the faction deck and proxy models till u find what u want. that way you only buy what your going to use

but the errants + ua are great

I was going to chime in with this advice as well. Also wait for the Plastic kit for the Castigator that's out on the 27/7/12 and magnetise the arms. It will give you the option of running one of three heavy jacks instead of just one.
