==Collecting and Expanding the Warband==

Spintered Fang are one of the cheapest and easiest warbands to both collect and expand.  To start, you'll need at least one box of Splintered Fang.  You can opt for the official [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warcry-The-Splintered-Fang-2019 Warcry Starter Warband box] for only $50. In it you'll get:
*1x Trueblood
*1x Pureblood
*1x Serpent Caller
*2x Venombloods with weapon options (Swords, Shield, or Whip)
*4x Clearbloods
*1x Serpents
*All the fighter cards and the faction ability card 
This is a pretty good buy, but consider that for only $15 more you can get what amounts to a double box by buying the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Slaves-To-Darkness-The-Splintered-Fang-2019 AoS Slaves to Darkness pack of the warband]. The only thing you'll be missing out on is the fighter cards and ability card (Which you can make just by printing out a quality picture of from screengrabs and other methods using the google).  This is what you will do.  You won't use every duplicate, but having extra Serpents, Venombloods, and Serpent callers certainly helps in expanding your warband at the cheapest cost.  It's entirely feasible to go through your entire Splintered Fang playing career with just this double box alone.  You can even expand your Serpents collection further by taking the separate snake which is meant to be used for the Serpent Callers base and simply gluing him to an empty base.  With two Serpent Callers and two sets of Serpents, you can have a total of four Serpents with just this box alone.

If you plan on taking any allies you could pick up the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/searchResults?_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=-6634069984879736637&qty=&sorting=&view=&Ntt=razorgor Downy Pig] for $25.  He's great for all the reasons listed above but pretty pricey for a single model.  It's a shame that his model is so fucking hideous. Alternatively, you can probably snag a Chaos Warhound off on the aftermarket for very cheap to proxy as a Warpig. 

If you want a Chaos Socerer, you can go with [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chaos-Sorcerer-Lord-2016 this guy] if you're into [https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Just_As_Planned Tzeentch] or [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Rotbringers-Sorcerer this guy] if you prefer your warlocks rotund.  They're both $15 so it's really down to aesthetics.  

$30 will net you a [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Slaughterpriest-with-Hackblade-and-Wrath-hammer Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrath-Hammer].  He's not cheap for a single model, but if you plan on running any other Chaos warbands, he's much more of a universal choice, as he can be used to great effect in pretty much all the Chaos Warbands.  Better yet, just pick up a box of [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Garreks-Reavers-Expansion-2018-eng these dudes] for the same price as a single Slaughterpriest.  From this box, you can proxy a Slaughterpriest, Darkoath Warchief, and an Exalted Deathbringer with some basic kitbashed weapon/head swaps. Just make sure that your group/FLGS is fine with you proxying models.  

Another fantastic $30 box you can grab is [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/WH-Underworlds-Godsworn-Hunt-ENG-2019|this box].  From this, you can proxy the same models as the last box, but you'll also be able to proxy a Darkoath Warqueen and a Chaos Warhound.  This is probably the best bang for your buck, but it might come down to aesthetics.  This box is more in line with the Splintered Fang's "elegant tribal" aesthetic while the other box is much more in line with the "classic" Chaos look.  Again, this box is more useful for the allies which synergize well with Fang, but the choice is yours. As an added bonus, grabbing either of these boxes will get you a warband for [https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_Underworlds Warhammer Underworlds], so if you plan on playing that, or are playing it already, you just doubled your return on investment. Don't say we never did anything for you. 

If they appeal to you, you can grab a box of [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warcry-Chaotic-Beasts-2019 these beasts], which will be used in some Twists.  You can add them as thralls and minions, but you're probably better off taking one of the other allies mentioned above.  If you're playing in a group, consider splitting the cost with another player and split them evenly between you two.  Harpies aren't going to do much for you.  Their Fly is nice, but for their points, you're better off taking something else.  Raptoryx can be made effective if you're running them in the same Battlegroup in sets of 2+ and backed up by a Serpent Caller to '''[Triple] Snake Charmer''' them, but Serpents are far more cost-efficient.  If you managed to get the Warcry Starter Box before it sold out, then you already have these, so adding them to your warband at no extra cost can work if you're of semitic origin.
