Fwiw I really dig the cracked earth paint. If you want to give a few bucks to GW there are worse ways you could do it.

Like: we played "let's pretend," cowboys and indians, our GI Joes waged battles with our Star Wars guys and our lego guys and some Transformers. You just reminded me of some great Forging my narrative I did when I was a kid. My friend and i would build forts out of blocks around the house and have the army men, vending machine plastic ninjas, Z-bots, and other groups have amazing imagination battles.

So I wanna sell my Warhams stuff and it sounds like my father has unearthed the crate it is all in. Iirc I had like 2k points worth of Drak Angels, mostly mechanized infantry and tanks. It is mostly painted, poorly though. I bought this stuff around 3rd edition. What ballpark am I looking at for this stuff?

Probably not much sadly. They've updated a lot of the models since 3rd depending on which ones you had and also painting the models lowers the resale value unless you did a really great job. I would ask maybe 25% of retail unless the models you are selling are currently the ones on their page then 50%. At least that's how I'm used to the used market where I got most of my stuff.

JerryLee posted:No, they actually are like $10 for the box of 5. Which is pretty astonishing and I can only assume that GW only lets that through because no one actually wants them, as opposed to something like tac marines. Most armies actually have a $10 box. Marines get three dudes with no options.

bunnielab posted:Well, even selling at 25% of msrp will buy me a fancy new fishing reel! I would go through your stuff and look for any characters or special miniatures you might have - chances are you will be offloading your regular troops and vehicles at a steep discount, but sometimes you will turn up some old miniature that people really love for some reason and will pay for. I have some oldass Eldar where there are individual models that sell for $10-$15 on Ebay when they show up. That's for fairly distinctive stuff from 2nd, but if you have any character models it's worth looking before you just dump them for change.

Metal minis sometimes can be really rare and sought out like that female commissar so you should look through for anything that seems individual and doublecheck if they are worth more.

This has easily been my best buy from GW in the past decade. The basing options are endless: Cracked earth Grassy land with cracked earth Rusty metal coloured cracked earth and my newest bases, icey tundra cracked earth. Makes me wanna check out their other technical paints but I don't really need blood all over everything. e: also looks pretty good with a bit of white or elf flesh drybrushing if you wanna have your guys dirty and covered in dried clay for some reason.

Leperflesh posted:Sure, that's why I want someone competent to do a remake. FFG, for example. When I was a kid, maybe 9-10, my BFF and I had a regular "narrative" game we'd play: We'd get a HUGE sheet of paper (it was probably A2 size or something, but as a kid it seemed enormous). We'd draw a side-on landscape - big mountain on the left, another on the right, then some canyons and hills in the middle. Then we'd take it in turns to draw a tank or a plane or a building-with-big-gun or some soldiers. My army was drawn shooting across to his side of the page, his shooting across to mine. As each thing was drawn, we'd describe what it was doing to win the war. Each person would add their unit, draw some lines of bullets and explosions and 'blow up' something on the other side. By then end of the day, we'd have an awesome piece of 10-year-old-imagination war art that would put any GW battle scene to shame. Next week we'd start a new campaign on a new sheet, and do it all over again. And all it cost was a pack of coloured pens and a piece of paper. EDIT: vvv Basically a pen-and-paper version of this vvv Pash posted:You just reminded me of some great Forging my narrative I did when I was a kid. My friend and i would build forts out of blocks around the house and have the army men, vending machine plastic ninjas, Z-bots, and other groups have amazing imagination battles. EDIT2: Oh I just remembered about the time my Dad came home from work with the best present ever for us: A huge roll of paper maybe 12-16" wide that was many, many metres long. After several weekends we ended up with a scene that covered beach landings, underwater shark battles, fleets of aircraft carriers, spaceships, so many tunnel networks, urban fighting, godzilla and giant robots, and pretty much every other boyhood battle fantasy.

It is - if you've ever played Battletech, you have a feel for how Car Wars handles record keeping. I really like the whole Car Wars aesthetic, but it's too much like filling in scantron sheets for me. Hopefully the upcoming edition will change some of that. That being said, I was thinking about a way to do a Gorkamorka inspired racing game using Epic minis with elements scavenged from Car Wars.
