Unless you want to capitalize on your friend's ignorance or you aren't in the US, I'd sell the NIB stuff at 30-40% off MSRP, since it's really easy to get 30% off NIB stuff online. I have historically sold NIB or well-painted stuff for about 40% off, well-assembled and unpainted/primed or raw stuff for about 50% off, and shittily painted for 50-75% off. But how good a friend is he, and how much does he want to help you out? You can always have a frank and free conversation and just negotiate.

Excelsiortothemax posted:I'm thinking the boxes can go for 20% off(my FLGS does this so gotta stay competitive) then the metal figures go for 30% and the primed/painted ones for 50%. I'd probably knock another 5-15% off the boxed and bare figures, since 20-30% off is basically internet retail.

Last time I played Incursion we used primed boomhowlers for the "flags." This was unsatisfactory, so I whipped up some quick-and-dirty 40mm scenario flags.

I'm a big fan of the dropper bottle. They also stay good forever. I hadn't painted in like 6 years and as soon as I unpacked them they were good to go with minor clearing of the top. They also require very little thinning.

Sorry to back-to-back here, but I'm looking for some list building advice. A shop I go to is starting a steamroller prep league this week, I won't have enough poo poo together this week, but I just dropped an order at CSI for some boradgames and figures to flesh out a 35 point list. However, I'm supposed to have a second 35 point list as well - right now I just have 1 extra figure and a second caster, so I could use some advice on where to expand for a second list. My list isn't tuned or anything, just whatever came in the 2 player box plus some recommendations from this thread when I started. System: Hordes Faction: Legion Casters: 1/1 Points: 35/35 Lylyth, Herald of Everblight (*6pts) *Shredder (2pts) *Shredder (2pts) *Shredder (2pts) *Shredder (2pts) *Angelius (9pts) *Carnivean (11pts) Blighted Ogrun Warspears (Leader and 4 Grunts) (8pts) -UA Warspear Chieftain (2pts) Blighted Nyss Shepard (1pt) The Forsaken (2pts) Other Models I have: 1 extra Blighted Nyss Shepard, 1 Vayl, Consul of Everblight Things that seem cool but I have no idea if they're good (should I buy this stuff, is it redundant with stuff I have?): Raptors (Jesus are these guys expensive!), Incubi, Blighted Legionnaires Also, does no one play Nephilim? I haven't seem them talked about much when Legion is discussed. Finally, do people usually take two different factions when they need multiple lists or do you two different lists in faction?

My list isn't tuned or anything, just whatever came in the 2 player box plus some recommendations from this thread when I started. I haven't had an opportunity to play with them myself, but I understand Raptors are pretty good, especially with Lylyth and their character solo, Annyssa. Blighted Legionnaires are also a nice troop option, but they're basically a meat shield for delivery of your warbeasts, with their UA (Captain Farilor) helping in that regard. I haven't played with Incubi, but you'd at least need them for Kallus's feat if you ever get him. People do play Nephalim sometimes, but usually with the Bolt Thrower because of its Thunderbolt ranged weapon. Protector and Soldier show up rarely. That's not to say you can't make them work, and there's an alternate battlebox for leagues starting with battleboxes that features Thragosh1 and a Soldier. If you have Lylyth and Vayl2, I would highly suggest you go ahead and burn the cash on two heavy dragonspawn plastic kits, and magnetize them fully. Lylyths play well with 2x Ravagores, while a Scythean is good for Vayl. I'm going to stop there because that'll help out at 35 easily, and Warspears are a plausible unit for either caster, but when you expand to 50, Annyssa/Raptors/Legions/Farilor are good choices to buy. If you decide to get the Raptors early, they and Annyssa might switch in for the Warspears with a bit of tinkering. You might try these two out (assuming you get those dragonspawn kits). I tried to use fit the models you currently have into at least one of two lists. Casters: 1/1 Points: 35/35 Lylyth, Herald of Everblight (*6pts) * Shredder (2pts) * Angelius (9pts) * Ravagore (10pts) * Ravagore (10pts) Blighted Ogrun Warspears (Leader and 2 Grunts) (5pts) * Warspear Chieftan (2pts) Blighted Nyss Shepherd (1pts) The Forsaken (2pts) Points: 35/35 Vayl, Consul of Everblight (*6pts) * Shredder (2pts) * Carnivean (11pts) * Ravagore (10pts) * Scythean (9pts) Blighted Ogrun Warspears (Leader and 2 Grunts) (5pts) * Warspear Chieftan (2pts) Blighted Nyss Shepherd (1pts) Blighted Nyss Shepherd (1pts)

This morning I played Khador and Protectorate. Then I stopped by my FLGS's quarterly consignment sale. What have I done? (Come on it was FIFTEEN BUCKS and I just grabbed a starter pamphlet from the display so as to have the Mk2 cards.) e: for that price I'm half-tempted to paint up the lights and put them in the iron claws of Conquest, flailing helplessly.

I would recommend getting the pasta pot and a couple harriers and stingers to make out of it. It is such an awesome model/unit.

I picked up a few because I figured I'd use the Carnivean from the starter box as a test case, but they seem pretty bid, especially for the head. The arms seem like they'll work out alright, but 1/8th in would probably be better.

Odd question: I don't suppose there's any place online that people list stolen and/or missing Warmachine armies? I purchased a set of random Warmachine figures online through an anonymous Amazon seller, which was a... suspiciously good deal, if you catch my meaning. When it shows up (*if* it ever shows up), I was wanting to double-check if I had come across someone elses' minis so they could be returned. Thank you !

They're not painted great, a couple are broken, and they look like older models that might not have been touched in years. *shrug* I don't even know what's fully in the lot that they're sending, just that the warjacks in the provided picture alone were worth 3-4 times the asking price and were theoretically only a fraction of the total set.

Just as a note, when you say that Conquest killed a Stalker, took a punch at Megalith and then forgot to fire his guns at Krueger. He wasn't allowed to fire his guns, Colossals do have the rule that lets them shoot while engaged, but they don't have virtuoso so they choose to either make ranged or melee attacks in an activation, they con't get both.
