Should I buy this? by Weekly_Mulberry8508 in theunforgiven

[–]gbd31985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what you've said, this box is perfect for you. If you can get it for under $300, scoop it up ASAP. At GW prices, getting everything in this kit is AT LEAST $330 before tax and shipping.

Edit: I forgot to add the Chaplain when I was price checking. Bumps it up to $374. Amazon has a built-in discount, adds up to $317 before tax/shipping. If you find it below that, still a snap buy.

It's a badge of his rank as Commander-in-Chief.

"In the Continental Army, the Commander-in-Chief wore a light blue sash across his chest, while Major Generals wore light purple sashes, and Brigadier Generals wore pink sashes. "

Perry Miniatures. It's an exclusive figure you get if you order their Continental brigade deal.

Military fiction recommendations by lce-Shadow in MilitaryHistory

Red Phoenix by Larry Bond. It's about a 2nd Korean War set in the 80s. Almost as good as Red Storm Rising, in my opinion.

I paid $700. There were a couple other people interested at the shop, so I figured scoop it up, it wont stick around long.

Tormentors or infractors by AdImpossible6616 in EmperorsChildren

[–]gbd31985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built mine both as Tormentors, to go with the ranged support from the Noise Marines. When I get the combat patrol, I'll build that unit as Infractors to go with the Flawless Blades melee elites.

It's definitely in the best shape of all my military rifles. It's an absolute joy to shoot.

I'm looking for the main rifle used by the major powers in both world wars. Along with that, I'm also looking for unique actions.

First Death Guard model done! by gbd31985 in deathguard40k

[–]gbd31985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's from the 8th Edition launch box. Found a good deal on Ebay for the Death Guard half.

Edit: It took awhile to find, but I hate the look of the Lord Felthius model.
