OK, so I'm actually just trying to figure out what's going on here. I mean, it looks like there is a story to this. Maybe that would explain it a bit. But without any kind of fluff.... uh, I'm confused.

Really, what kind of story could possibly explain that abomination!

wissenlander · « **Reply #852 on:** April 15, 2013, 12:18:58 AM »

Yeah, that's probably the weirdest conversion I've ever seen.

GW will probably take that idea and start producing them at £50, even then it wouldn't be the ugliest mini they make

That conversion really captures the meaning of chaotic. No style, no nothing, just insane merging together of weapons and things.

I think GW's idea of Chaos (or Chaos in Warhammer worlds) is strangely behaved, organized etc. to earn the name "Chaos". This ... thing ... is more chaotic.

And more uglier.

It will be in Finecast, though - so at least 75 quid

Here these ones make me laugh because I got so much money out of them!

I originally purchased these right after Mongoose Publishing quit making them. I got most of the stuff for below retail. I hadn't realized the demand had gone up for this stuff so much. I was just selling this stuff to clear up some space and get rid of unused stuff. I'm very happy right now.

I paid $15 for this one.

I paid $35 for this one.

I'm about breaking even on a couple of the others and I'm actually loosing money on a few, but over all I'm making a killing!

to all the people bidding on my stuff!

Wow, my LGS was selling that Starship Troopers stuff for 75% off a couple years ago.

Delthos · « **Reply #860 on:** May 01, 2013, 06:02:26 AM »

You should have bought everything except Hopper Bugs. Nobody wants them. They are the pariahs of the Arachnids. Now we'll see how well the Mobile Infantry stuff sells next. I'm fairly that except for a few items, they won't sell as well as the Arachnids. Who knows though, they could surprise me as well.

zifnab0 · « **Reply #861 on:** May 01, 2013, 11:43:24 AM »

Are the warrior bugs at all rare? I've got a bunch collecting dust in the basement.

Delthos · « **Reply #862 on:** May 01, 2013, 03:36:02 PM »

I sold 40 unassembled ones for $81. Turns out there is definitely a demand for them. The real money is apparently in the special more rare stuff. Assembled ones will probably not go for quite as much. After reading some threads on various forums I'm guessing they are fairly hard to find these days.

OK, so this is still listed and has a "Make an Offer" option. I'm tempted to make an offer of just a few $$$ because, although it's not really useful as a gaming piece, it's just so... surreal and crazy that I'm kind of fond of it. Like a piece of Dada art.

Obviously the other option besides Heriotitan that was sadly play-tested out.

That's my point.

If you throw away rules and fluff.... this is actually pretty cool!

At least they look like they're legit and not some mass produced recasts.

Delthos · « **Reply #873 on:** May 28, 2013, 12:51:34 PM »

Just wait, Mr Chumley will need another army to collect soon! He's only got about a year to go and he'll have all the Empire collected and painted.

Midaski · « **Reply #874 on:** October 21, 2013, 11:01:15 AM »

I hope this went to a true Empire collector.

I totted up and made it 111 actual metal figures, then a variety of extra bits.

Under £100 is a bargain I think - I just hope it wasn't a dealer whoi will split it and sell individual figures.
