I'm gonna throw this into basically every subreddit I can btw

I need help deciding where to put my precious hobby dollar.

Some specific thingy things to discuss, I am graduating from college in one week, and I need a larger project to fill my time until I land a solid job or do something else, idk exactly what.

Anyways, I will have loads of free time and will have next to nothing productive to do with it, so part of my consideration is the quantity of time that may be filled. I also enjoy my models looking good, and specifically kitbashing them, so part of my problem is some of the things I want to buy I don't know 100% how I would want to build or paint them, which turns me away a little.

Final note specifically for WE, I don't quite know which detachment I will be running yet, so suggestions between cult of blood or daemonkin would be appreciated.

I have the funds to reasonably finish any three of the following options, mostly killteam, some 40k:

A: Lord on Juggernaut/Lord Invocatus: Are there enough pieces in the box that if I had an extra juggernaut I could kitbash one of the space marines onto that one and get twice the leader power?

B: Bloodcrushers of Khorne (counts as 2): What are fun ways to customize these fellas? I have some things I do for bloodletters and I don't know what works well for juggernauts.

C: Slaughterbound and Jakhals (counts as 2): Is this fun to play in game? It looks fun but I am dubious.

D: Forgefiend/Maulerfiend (counts as 2): What would be the funniest way to kitbash both of these together?

E: Exaction Squad and Inquisitorial Agents (counts as 2): Both fun killteams, how do I make them look cohesive together? What are ways to get the most out of the IA kit?

F: Raveners Killteam: I want to start a tyranid army based on the burrower detachment, so this is a natural starting point. Because I want to fill time and my favorite aspect is building the models, what are ways these guys can be customized? they don't seem like they would be worth it if the time investment is very low.

G: Killteam: Terror on Devlan (counts as all 3): This has a lot of good, and some very bad. This box would let me get a start on a burrowers tyranid army, as the red terror looks sick in that detachment, and looks sick in general. A brand new killteam that sounds a little tricksy fits right into my playstyle for killteam. the problems, however, are many. First, as with the raveners, I can't imagine building and painting the red terror and the gaunts would take long enough, as they are simple shapes with only a few colors, and because they are so organic it would be awkward trying to kitbash them up. Secondly, I don't 100% love the look of the spectre squad, only about 70%, but I don't have many bits to fix them up, because for some reason, all of my bits are angry chaos space marines. I do love the heck out of killteam though, and this is one of my top options at the moment.

H: another killteam: I have not thought through every option, and if there is a killteam you specifically enjoy I would love a callout.

I: Last but not least: If y'all have WE units you enjoy I'd love to hear it.
