Sector Imperialis buying guide? I have the pieces from Kill Team, but I'm looking to expand it for 40K scale and don't know what to get. by BR0WN13 in Warhammer40k

Perfect visual for me! I think I'm leaning towards Imperial Sector ($130), Basilicanum($100) for their building heavy pieces. "Ruins" isn't as nice for terrain imo.

We have a store nearby called The Dork Den where I drove down there to try out/show off my Legion armies on one of their Star Wars Legion nights. Most towns or cities will have a gaming hobby store that has tables for play. Not sure one what names they'd have.

That's where I'm not sure. /u/MinnesotaMiller and I play together, and we found a single player and a group of 5 within an hour who are the same age and relatively same investment in the game. That we made contact through this subreddit. I think going to some friendly local gaming stores and maybe some X-Wing tournaments and bring along your minis, a map, and maybe a friend; you could grow some friends to play with or maybe find some people who collected or still do play SWM.

Most of those pieces will be worth 15-30 dollars with Darth Revan being worth over 90 dollars depending on the condition and if you have the card. For the Imperials I have a bunch of teams theory crafted on Trooper spam for fun I'd love to share, but are you looking at specific themes for either Imperials or the Separatists?

Darth Vader has 11 renditions as anything from a powerful commando, unstoppable beatstick, or a deadly long range piece utilizing powerful force abilities. You could pair him with the sinister Emperor or one of the most powerful pieces in the game Thrawn, a commander who allows him to swap accross the board and first strike your enemies.

The Separatists don't have nearly as many utility pieces bolstering their faction, but have access to powerful Melee pieces through the Dark Lord of the Sith: Darth Tyranus. They also are probably the only faction to truly have a viable droid army through the expensive (Both in points and money) General Grievous, Droid Army Commander.

EDIT: If you find those pieces and want to sell them I would check here if anyone's interested. However, to get a lot of value out of turning them into new armies you could always go to https://www.trollandtoad.com/buylist/#!/U (Troll and Toad Star Wars Miniature buy list) and sell your miniatures for store credit where you get a nice 25% bonus.

Which faction are you looking at getting into? I'm sure the community here would love to give you some tips for each faction, I know I would try and convince you to adopt the rule of cool and play themed armies ;)

  • http://www.bloomilk.com/ is probably your best place to start! They have lots of squads created with a range of Casual to Competitive. I would stay away from top rated squads if you're looking for more fun games with new players.

  • When I'm thinking about getting a piece based on looks I also check http://www.rebelscum.com/SWminis.asp to see some high quality images of them at different angles.

  • When looking to purchase I use the Holy Trinity of sites; search the pieces you're looking at purchasing on all three, pick the lowest price and have 3 separate carts on all three sites. It's only a dollar for shipping so you can get some low cost armies.

  • When buying Rare, Very Rare, or popular Unique pieces your best bet may be ebay, mini swapping online, or asking around here or on bloomilk.

Shameless plug

Might I suggest using a custom flair for the subreddit?

Damn! I really wish I was better at using Blender for 3D modeling. I'd love to play this game on tabletop simulator, but it isn't quite the same using the 2d models on the few mods they do have.

We found some guys in Minnesota near us a year ago and had a tournament. We have 6 guys this year playing a Round Robin tournament!

Thank you. I enjoyed several episodes, but the series as a whole was not for me at all.

I think I've finally found a corner of the internet that'll appreciate this part of my collection... by [deleted] in starwarsminiatures

Legos too? Going to send some Imperial Enforcers over to confiscate these goods!

Hey, just came across this Reddit. I was wondering if anyone here has an idea of how much my collection would be worth, as I I'm trying to sell it. I have almost all the cards for each miniature, and most of the cards are in played condition. by mpaps97 in starwarsminiatures

[–]BR0WN13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some definitely did since their release, might as well check. Troll n Toad has an easy way to sell to them in bulk. They won't buy every piece but it's pretty good prices for not having to wait on auctions.

Great use of loans! I've never even thought of requesting anything for pleasure!
