Brother Glacius Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Was able to snag a starter army on ebay a while back. Looking to expand the army to 2000pts so it fits in with the rest of my armies. PM if you have any warmaster for trade or for sale. I have tons of stuff (okay, maybe just one ton). Might be able to find a connection, but have $$ as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Got some help from the Warmaster trading group. Now I'm only looking for a couple of units of Empire Halberdiers for warmaster. So if you have those and are willing to trade or sell, let me know.

Brother Glacius Posted October 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Its on Facebook. Most of the ppl are in Europe, but there are some US guys as well. But you pay a premium quite often. Not really a place for deals. If you are lucky, you'll get $12 a blister as long as it is common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Okay, so what I really need now are just two units of Halberdiers. Amazingly, they seem to be all out on the interwebs. Happy to buy or trade for two units of empire halberdiers. 🙂 Come on Ordo...I know some of you out there have them.

Guest Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 There's a few Warmaster blisters at GG. They also had an entire Warmaster Elf army for a while, but I'm not sure if it's still there. I don't think they sell very well, so might have to ask one of the staff that does the trades (Max, maybe) to figure out where they are currently stored within the store. Not sure if they have Empire specifically, but definitely have some Undead in blister (I recall being amused that they had an warmaster scale undead giant...).

Rijel Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 The Warmaster high Elves at Guardian are gone. I snapped them up last time I was in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Might I ask what you plan to use said warmaster miniatures to play? Or is this just a collection campaign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Having said that, I’ve been considering buying a whole mess of 6 mm medieval historicals and using them for Saga: Age of Crusades.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Dang it....I was just at GG to get the ork codex and I forgot to ask about warmaster. Quite honestly though, it was hell just driving to GG. There are so many bad drivers in Portland. I seriously am looking forward to leaving the city. The sheer amount of a-holes out there is overwhelming. I was all happy and excited to get my new book, but by the time I got home, I was just glad I had made it alive. I'm actually planning on using the models to play Warmaster. I only have two units of halberdiers, and they are required for every 1K points. So in order to field 2K (my goal) I need another two units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Have you considered using some other company’s 10 mm scale figures? Magister Militum or Irregular Miniatures, for example... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I neither knew people still played or ever played in the past. The game went over like a lead balloon in my circles back when it was new. The people who played 6 or 10 mm scale games were all hardcore historical grognards who scoffed at anything even hinting of fantasy and the people who played WHFB saw no reason to switch scales. I was interested, personally, but couldn’t find anyone willing to go in on the game with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Warmaster is probably GW's best wargame ever. There are people out there that play. I'm on a kick to get several armies up and running and will hopefully find some people to play. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I’ve always considered Epic: 40,000 (Third Edition) or Battlefleet Gothic to be the pinnacle of GW’s game design... Of course, both share essentially the same mechanical foundation with Warmaster, so it’s probably a given that I’d enjoy that game too.

Brother Glacius Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Not sure I'd agree with that. In those other games, units are completely independent and always are able to perform actions. Warmaster has a command system which not only introduces failure of even basic actions, but also grants a variability to how much a unit or units can do. There is a much greater risk and reward mechanic in Warmaster that I have yet to see GW go back to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 There’s differences, sure, but the three share a similar foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Well, if you are itching to start multiple collections at once there is enough Tomb Kings to build a full force here: It's a thing of beauty, but alas I am stubborn and really want individual miniatures to be fully compatible with T9A.

Guest Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 At GG today: In the trade area, in a plastic case behind whfb blisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yowch....$15-$20 a blister. That's worse than ebay prices. Wonder if they are commission for someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they are commission for someone? No clue, and it seemed like a good number of them were undead, not empire. But I don't really play warmaster, I'm just in GG a lot. I will note that GG used prices often count on the 15% off GW stuff for [40k] league nights, plus that you can pay in trade (which they give more for than they would in cash or normal store credit for trades). So in terms of cash, it might be worse than ebay, but you probably have unrelated trades that would makes this a steal. And these are rare models in unopened packages... Only pretty sure these count as trade. I've bought "used" blisters from them before, and it counted, so it's probably the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Though, briefly, looking on Ebay, $16+4 shipping seems like it's on the bottom of average. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Games-Workshop-Warmaster-Chaos-Spawn-Blister-J/253980078216?hash=item3b22647088:g:gUsAAOSwh41apTfh https://www.ebay.com/itm/Warmaster-Undead-Bone-Thrower-8302G-New-in-blister-/322492581191 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Those prices are insane, given that you can buy an entire army elsewhere in this scale for under $50 USD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but you are comparing old collectibles in original packaging to freshly produced non-limited model lines. I'm not saying this makes them reasonably priced, but I am saying it's unfair to compare them like that. Like comparing the prices/products at an Antique store to that of Target. It's just not a fair comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Value is inherently subjective, I agree. I don’t value these as much as a collector would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
