Still looking to sell or trade these items. If interested in additional Non-Hobby equipment, ping me and I'll give you the scoop

Adding some Tau, "new on sprue" from back in the early days. Also selling the associated Cadre Fireblade in case someone wants to start a cheap Tau Killteam or something.

I also have a bunch of non-hobby related stuff for sale (mostly computer things) on the ol' craigslist if you're interested. If you are, I'll give ya a discount on these items. PM me so I know who you are:

Corsair "Lapdog" keyboard tray
HP dc7600 Core 2 Duo small form factor computer
Nvidia GT 220 PCI-E video card 
 

Update:

I checked and I have 1 full sprue for the Deathwatch upgrade kit plus two deathwatch terminator shoulders (4 total).
If you would like, I can get you those two termy shoulders. Just let me know a good place/time Friday-Sunday for me to hand them off.

If you want the whole sprue plus the two individual shoulders (4 shoulders), we can discuss trading bits. I play Blood Angels so if you happen to have comparable bits available, that would work perfectly.

I have a set or two of the Deathwatch sprues if you can use those. That has a couple of termie shoulders on them.

If you're interested, I can snap a few pictures and we can work something out.

Hey, I'm looking to see if there are any 30k groups playing around Vancouver. I'm just starting out and would love to become a regular player. Nights and place info would be appreciated.

Howdy,

Just trying to clear out some bits and bobs from the closet. Images attached to this thread. 

Currently selling the following:

"New" on sprue Tau Firewarriors (Old version). Sitting in my closet for awhile and I don't have the time to paint them up. These are the old style firewarriors so they DO NOT make those newer breacher team things. But it does make 12 warriors and comes with 2 drones. asking $25 for the entire kit. Would make a good killteam if you're into that sort of thing.

Also for sale is this nifty resin Office/Building set from Gale Force 9. The terrain is slightly too large for epic but may be good in Adeptus Titanicus or some other related scale. It was made for Mechwarrior Clicky mechs so if it's still a bit too large than actual battletech scale. It's in really good shape with no breaks or cracks. Comes in foam for an easier transport.
Also looking for $25 for being in super condition.

I can definitely haggle a little bit on these prices and I am willing to do trades. My primary trade is for WH40k/30k(Horus Heresy) Blood angel and affiliated (I.E. marines in spaaaaaaace) models.

PM me if you want some additional pictures or want to meet up to view the goods.

I wasn't referring to null deploy 🙄. the new rules means that NONE of your reserves can come in turn one at all. So there doesn't seem to be any advantage to even putting a single unit in reserve even as an "Oh [big bad swear word]" button if someone breaks through your main line or threatens you immediately.

@Dusldorf Been playing since 1999 so yes, I know how it used to work. I've spent all of 7th edition basically being able to do jack all with Blood Angels so going backwards to previous editions shouldn't be something we should strive for from my perspective.

The fact is that 8th was supposed to make it better/easier for every army and I've been sitting here seeing more and more options removed from an army advertised as an assault oriented force. I have all these assault tools at my disposal but none of them are particularly effective besides shooting. Telling me to get over it shouldn't be the catch all everyone crowds to and is really friggin toxic.

God damn it, I should have known better than to post here.

My favorite part (sarcasm) so far is that all reserve units cannot enter the board at all, even in your own deployment zone. So if you reserve something you can't even bring it on board on your first turn to help repel a 1st turn rush from your opponents. So much fun! 🙄

Not sure if you're being sarcastic since it's a huge nerf lol.

I play BA so it was sarcastic.

"If the datasheet for a model says it can FLY, then during the Movement phase it can move across models and terrain as if they were not there."

Well okay then. Thanks.

Both are pretty good starter sets in their own right. I suspect $70 ends up being the goto pricing for either half but the primaris are going to move a lot easier than the eldar half I'm sure.

If you only have one FW item, go with the Leviathan dread. The most popular loadout is dual storm cannons from my small internet circle. You're not going to get a lot of long range on the thing so the volume of shots make it a good loadout to default to. Mortis Contemptors if you aren't situated to get the Leviathan; with dual assault cannon thingies. CCW isn't a bad choice but it's more expensive in 40k than just doubling down on ranged shooting. Plus who doesn't like dakka?

Got it. To be clear, there are no colors that someone could paint this model without making this association in your mind?

The imagery is in poor taste from the start. I don't personally see any redemption short of news that the head is 100% removable/optional. Even then, if someone were to ask my opinion i'd advocate completely throwing the head away were that the case.

1 minute ago, Dusldorf said:

Had no idea that was a thing. But I see what you mean now! How common is that color for them?

It has to do with levels in the organization. There are also those in red and various other colors. Really none of them are safe in my opinion.

I would have a problem if they had painted the robe white, or some other color highly associated with white supremacists, but it's blue. There are so many places the mind can go with this imagery that that *aren't* the one you're suggesting. The fact that your mind jumps to who my friends might be makes me think you're projecting, because I have no association with them.

You mean like this?

I know a bit more about this culture than I am comfortable knowing so excuse me if my context is a bit more broad than yours.

Sure, but so are lynchings and white people. I mean...it's an executioner. Axes and nooses are their tools. Spagunk should get over himself lol. 

Listen, if you can't see why I have a problem with THIS SPECIFIC model and the imagery it holds, I don't know what to tell you. May I suggest you do a poll with people you know and ask them what they think of the model? Don't tell them the context, don't explain what they do or what the faction is about, just ask. I don't know the type of individuals you hang around but it may help you figure this out a bit more.

I'm laughing at the phrase "get over himself". That's precious.

Just now, Dusldorf said:

Can you be more specific? You're kinda beating around the bush here.

I won't. And because you are specifically asking me to do so, I will take it as you trying to bait me into an argument. Let's just say that in the Year of our Lord 2018 it should be self evident on why the imagery is in poor taste.

Just now, Dusldorf said:

...what about it makes you upset?

The imagery is too close to some real world B.S. that makes this specific model in VERY poor taste.

I am NOT. A. FAN. of that executioner model. It's in very poor taste and should never have been okay'd by whoever makes the decision.

So endith my 2018 painting binge. I still have plenty of other things to paint (side eyes on these Primaris and Horus Heresy stuff) but at least I made a good dent in my stack:

Oh, maybe my eyes are just getting worse, but there's something off about the level of focus in some of the shots above. 

The backpack and shoulderpad just look slightly blurry. I don't think it's the model, I feel like it's the camera, somehow. 

Meh, might not matter to you. Could still be my eyes suck...

It's just my phone's camera so focus can be off sometimes.

Aren't BA Vets supposed to have gold helmets instead of the yellow that the Assault Squads have? I'm just sayin', those are some pretty shiny dudemans, but they could be shinier 😄

3rd edition veteran assault Marines had yellow helmets. Most of my paint schemes try to follow the 2nd/ 3rd edition theme (black bordered shoulder pads and whatnot). I made some modifications on it like my main company has silver chest plates vs yellow and such. But I've adapted it so that any Battle company Marines get codex standard ( red rimmed shoulders) but have 3rd edition chest eagles (orange/yellow).

Gold will probably go on my sternguard since veteran Marine squads used to just have red helmets and stuff.

Rush job vanguard vets:

Heh, yeah that's kind of what I thought. especially since he has a bionic eye which would NOT fit that helmet.

Here is yet another man for my pile:

Also, I think I've contracted model paint poisoning or something because I've got 12 more guys I am starting tomorrow.
