USMC starter army

Mongoose
This is what i had in mind of buying for a starter army to get a feel for the game, any opinions? Should i drop the shadows/abrams for more troopers?

2x USMC USMC Infantry Squad
1x M1A2 Abrams MBT
1x Shadow RST-V Squadron

1000 pts exact
 
looks good to me.

its a good base to work from and build on to be honest, and cheapest way to hit the points with a legal force.

you get to play with a tank, you got infantry to hold buildings in some of the book missions and you got shadows for transport and tank hunting or just removing enemy from a cover with big bangs.
 
Looks a great starter army to me, it gives you the main requirements, you have infantry for bulk and to kill infantry, shadows for quick transport (be aware how vunerable they are though) and tank killing, and a tank to give your force some solidity.

You could drop the shadows for more inf, but I think that would be a mistake, as it would reduce your flexability, with that force you can also play a number of combinations that are less than 1000; which would be difficult to balance if you bought differently.
