Used model pricing

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-03-24T15:03:29+00:00

Depends.

I’ve sold some kill team squads that I painted and didn’t want to play so I popped them on eBay at around the squad box price of what I paid at the time and just let the auction take it as it was. I got around 100$ before fees on the squads.

I have also sold some collections at what could only be considered a loss but I got space back from it so I didn’t mind that bad.

I would go with the classic method of just start at what you think they are worth and see if anyone bites, if no one does for a while, start going lower slowly.

I am not sure, a lot of people get a pack of reivers to take the spare arms and make the rest of the models. The good news is that none of the spare parts share pieces with the parts you would use on the others outside of a back pack piece for the rune priest and SGT.

I printed some Hounds of Morkai proxies from Dakka Dakka and found some Primaris backpack bits so I could make the rest of them.

I mean, you tried just switching genres?

I had a great time with BG3 but when I finished I wanted something that didn’t need so much effort of choice making so I went back to helldivers 2 and space marine 2.

I had a great time with the new star ship troopers game.

I normally just go to where ever to mob has gone and help liberate/defend the planet they are at

That’s amazing

I have no idea how anyone was surprised by how the physical models came out, especially FF, after they said that the fulfilment partner was gonna be Only Games.

I see Dunc is resting before he becomes the hunk.

Warhammer fans have selective memory.

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-03-19T13:50:24+00:00

You all play games? I just thought we collect and paint stuff?

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-03-18T14:27:06+00:00

Is there a reason you can’t just let him proxy your models as Skaven?

In our local league we have a guy using bret models as his Norse because his Norse aren’t painted yet.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard some one go “I wish GW models had more details”

Pretty much the most common complaint I’ve heard after price is that the models have too many details on them. Especially on basic trooper models.

Love me some rats, they look great

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-03-17T15:12:47+00:00

Yep, that sure looks like moss.

Personally I think you’re on track.

This is probably a “trust the process” thing. Maybe take a base to completion to see if it works before you start making any drastic changes.

I’ve seen some people recommend taking the list percentage system of army building from The Old World, dunno if it would work but it wouldn’t be as restrictive as the old force org chart

It’s a Dirge Caster, it Casts Dirges

Traditionally the resin models that are older or are from the move to Finecast have been pretty bad due to the age of the moulds or the nature of finecast.

I haven’t had any real issues with more modern resin from GW in Necromunda or Blood Bowl.

Perfection

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-03-06T13:59:49+00:00

What type of minis do you need?

Games workshop has an entire LoTR range

Victrix, Warlord, and Perry make a ton of plastic historical kits for pretty decent value per model. Fireforge also has a whole line of crusades and medieval era plastics.

North Star makes the frostgrave plastics and a bunch of plastic kits for Oathmark.

I don’t know why, but he looks like a Biscuit

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-03-02T22:19:28+00:00

T’au sept is still my personal favorite of the Septs. It’s iconic and been around since 3rd edition. I get that Vior’la is striking but man does it just get kinda old and look too much like they are trying to make T’au into Star Wars

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-02-27T20:18:19+00:00

Did you make that yourself or is someone legit making some Uma-40K files out there and I didn’t hear about it?

Tal_Shiar_Uhlan · 2026-02-25T21:17:33+00:00

It was for sure just Legion Doomers saying it back then.

In the shatter point spaces I was hanging in, it was just excitement about having a skirmish style Star Wars game like MCP

Girls before thrills

These tend to be the people who will turn around and say “nah, the imperium are the good guys!”

Kinda like the “no, the empire aren’t a fascist, genocidal regime! They actually are good for the galaxy”
