I would be too. Unfortunately I'm not single.

Married with two kids - I'll never get it signed off.

 

But nostalgia...

PM me an offer. I'd rather it went to someone on here. 

 

I think you could get £300+ for it looking at kits in worse shape on eBay.

 

I cannae really justify that at the min.

[Spatial]

If anyone's looking to reduce their pile of Sigmar-related shame I'd be interested in taking some specifc stuff off your hands.

 

My problem is I only need a handful of certain types for a custom WH Quest campaign, so I'm after an odds and sods factions mixture including;

Hedkrakka’s Madmob,

Khagra’s Ravagers,

The Grymwatch

 

On sprue, already assembled, it doesn't matter - unpainted though as I'd rather do that myself.

 

No surprise that Ebay is a complete cess pit for this sort of thing, where 4 or 5 singles will cost you just as much as a full boxed set. 🤯

[Davros sock drawer]

I can sort you out with the Myrmourn Banshees @Spatial - already primed white but otherwise unpainted.

 

Got my Sepulchral Guard set up

on eBay currently, but already painted so…

[Aluco]

I can't help you there with that list but it makes me really want to play whatever you have planned.

Sounds like it will be awesome.

Keep us updated.

The only one I could see that's sold is this one

 

 

And it's missing all sorts of shit. A minty fresh one has to be worth easy twice that at least, surely?

 

Ah man I had this and Adeptus Titanticus back in the day. I played with one of my current D&D guys. Great game

What else you got?!

 

HeroQuest, Dungeonbowl and the Squats have already gone 

[Sardan]

That’s a proper treasure trove!

 

It’s a bit later than my main period of GW interest but there will be demand for all of that I think, especially if in decent condition. I’ve always been intrigued by Block Mania as I’m an old 2000AD fan. 

[Sardan]

OMG just spotted the Mighty Fortress on the far left! That’s worth a lot. 

[Pelekophoros]

Holy shit there's some money's worth there.

[Nathan Wind]

It’s beautiful. That’s basically a look into my bedroom cupboard aged 15. 🥲
 

 

[Sardan]

You got a Nuln Spearman anywhere @ScouserInExile?  This sold last night:

Oh man, I'd love to root around those boxes and read the rules!

 

My first time back painting this year. This may take some time

Only sold for £90 in the end. I later saw it sell for £160, though, like my actual one, the guy clearly saw a bargain, bought it and put it straight back on eBay. So I think I was just unlucky with my timing.

That's how we ended up with it. The whole Block Mania leading into the Apocalypse War storyline was my favourite back when I read 2000AD. 

 

It's all there, though both Block Mania and Mega Mania are currently in the same box, and the boxes seem in fairly good condition, considering their age. If you want to buy them off me, drop me a PM and we can work something out. 

[MattKB]

Finished this war suit today, and I have a lot of painting to do, having built everything I have. 
 

Haven’t quite decided on colours yet, am I really creating a problem for myself if I spray everything black? I have some grey seer spray, but not sure what I want to do light colours yet. 
 

 

[Mikes]

Primaris sized Terminators!

 

 

I bought the files. Will update here when I get them printed.

 

[moosegrinder]

That's just asking for a DMCA, surely?

[Mikes]

Them and every other few thousand out there.

[Mikes]

He just released the cyclone missile launcher and chainfist files too. 

[moosegrinder]

I've just never seen anything so blatant but since you put it like that it's naïve to think it's the only one.

[Oracle]

I dont get the draw of primaris sized terminators - they don't have primaris marines in there, so they don't need to be bigger imo.

[Mikes]

Pretty much just because they look ridiculously twee next to a marine that's supposed to be shades worse than them:

 

 

 

[Pelekophoros]

Aggressors stand out, so they take all the hits, which is why they're worse.

These look awesome. I definitely agree the current Termies need to be bigger, I noticed that the Chaos marines seem to have grown a few millimetres. Must be all the time in the warp. 

[Pelekophoros]

My Space Wolf Terminators definitely look like they could go toe to toe with Gravis armour Primaris. I can imagine them staring them down and telling them "Being taller don't make you bigger", like what my Dad used to say to me.

[And]

Yeah, I’d want the super tough midgets that can get more cover 

[Mikes]

Each to their own. But I'd rather have my big scary units be big and scary. And I say this as a friend of someone who was beaten up by midgets.

Actually I'm going to hold off getting them printed just yet. He just released the files for the missile launcher and said blank shoulder pads were also on the way, which i really want. So I'll wait and get them all done at once time.

I was more commenting on the relative scale. Sure, the up thread comparison of the Captain in Gravis armour against a much earlier Terminator model (1st edition) looks weird.

 

But then that Terminator would also look weird next to the latest sculpts available. Wolf Guard in Terminator armour look fierce, even next to Primaris and even next to that same Captain sculpt.

 

From a practical point of view I'm not sure what GW should do. Cut off all the old sculpts and there will be much unhappiness. Replace them with new sculpts and there will be much unhappiness. Keep everything the same and there will be much unhappiness.

 

In the grim darkness of Warhammer, there is only unhappiness. 

[Mikes]

Or buy the increasingly quality 3d files out there and make your own!

[Pelekophoros]

Handy if you have a 3D printer, for sure.
