As the title says, what is the best deal you've gotten on models (second-hand or new)? I just got one for 60 dollars that included a dreadnought, 5 termies, 20 tacts, 10 assault, and a command squad. Include the book and 14 paints. Total 340 dollars (16 cents on the dollar). Can you be that?

2 dollars for a full tactical squad, a box of bitz (which has Tomb Kings, Orcs, Skaven, and Empire bitz) and the SM codex.

Thats the best I got.

Not bad, 3 cent to a dollar for all that you got.

Rule book, 26 marines chaplain, for FREE.

That's cool, but your 13, so someone was probably helping you, or you stole them (I am guessing thats not the case). If I came off sounding like a ****, sorry. I am interest mainly in the money people spent and the models gotten.

I'll let that past, I'll consider it that your inner child is throwing a tantrum bcuz he never got such a deal, also i started warhammer when i was 6years old tbh, so some1 giving me this now to help me get started when i have 3000pts of guard seems stupid.

i could go on for days, i spend about 200 bucks a month on ebay just on GW stuff.

Well, after a confusing array of trading and money going places, I somehow lost my High Elves, gained $150, and three boxes of Skinks appeared. I remember paying for one. XD

Good deal! :P

I once swapped a Tau drone, a spare coupla hatch, and some chaos close combat weapons for 6 Khorne Bezerkers, most of which I could prise apart and convert into some SM veterans. (I recycle almost every old model that I can pull apart into somthing useful, unless its was somthing really old and out of production...)
Another time, I scavanged lots of purtiy seals, bolt pistol arms and chainsword arms and whatnot (which I put to use in my veteran sqaud) for absolotley free, and I netted a missile launcher too. ^_^
I am well known at my local GW for scavenging and recyling bits. :shifty:

That reply was completely neutral my friend, I serious about the money for models part, there one would know how much you got. So no need to get nasty.

Also, a past deal I got was actually a rip off now that I think of it was 10 CSM and 2 Oblits for 40 dollars, its a okay deal and I had just started, but they guys had to much paint on them. Had to whip it out... my wire brush that is.

36 Dark Elf Corsairs with two full commands for 30$. Ebay is my new friend!

eBay is my buddy too. I was thinking about this, since we are will to play such little money for such a large amount models, I think GWs should lower there prices, I mean, we would by so much for more. How hard is it to make little figures?

Go figure. I just started using ebay for GW stuff, it really is a neat with how much stuff you can find. Also even if we buy stuff from Ebay, GW still makes a profit. Someone had to buy the models at some point. Unless of course they stole them.

I have posted my story in several places here, but I traded a large box of the new painted D&D figures to a friend for all of his mostly-unassembled 40K models (no books or Codex included). Not sure how many minis I had, or how much I spent on them, but he wanted them much more than I did, as I was beginning to feel the pull of the modeling and painting aspects of the game after I purchased the 3rd Edition Box set and 1 Dark Eldar Raider.

Some I have purchaesed since the trade, but not a lot. All for some miniatures I had lost interest in, now I have hours of entertainment modeling, and some nice looking armies I may actually use for something other than fillling a box and checking off a checklist.

-Troszkowsky

not me, but a buddy got some 60+ steel legion models and a chimera and carrying case for $35 USD

As for me I got a chaplain on bike NIB for $5 USD

eBay is my buddy too. I was thinking about this, since we are will to play such little money for such a large amount models, I think GWs should lower there prices, I mean, we would by so much for more. How hard is it to make little figures?


Ah, my friend, where do you think these models which we buy cheaply come from?

they come from people getting out of the game or large suppliers. your point? most stores where take a higher inventory if more people brought stuff, aka bulk order.

£38 for any battle force i want whenever i want.

£25 for a landraider (£30 for LRC)

£18 for plastic dreadnought


All brand new.

DWHS or whatever?

You know, sometimes I wish I was an internet dealer wiht low prices. I could also buy my own stuff for wholesale prices...

But if GW did lower prices, they would see a massive sudden spike in their stock, as every player there ever was that still breathes air and is not mentally retarded(and I mean that in the best possible way) will rush into their nearest store and buy several thousands of dollars worth of stuff in fear that GW will again raise prices in the next few weeks...

The only deal ive ever got was 18 ogre bulls for $30AU in sprues.

4 marines with H/B second hand for $26 NZD and sold 2 of them for $15 NZD each

1 Carnifex
20 spinegaunts
16 hormaguants
13 Genestealers
6 warriors
3 ripper swarms

All for a low,low price of a x-box game and 10$.
Lucky me!

3 Falcons and 20-30 sumthing slota bases for AUD$60 - thats basically buy 1 get two free, and while your here take all the bases you can carry.

20 Banshees (10new + 10 old) + jainzar = AUD$23

Ebay is offically the 5th chaos god. . . . the god of making wallets empty !!

i got 5 space marines and 2 mkII termies for only 50p each
so that was £3.50

Now that is blatent advertising for DWHS. =P

Seriosuly though mine would be when i traded some boxes of old lego (mixed peices, about 4 small (4" by 10" by 7" boxes, not full)) for a space marine battleforce, 8 chaos space marines, 4 khorne beserkers and 5 assualt pack models, they where what this guy had left from doing his chaos army (All on sprues, a couple of bits taken off then replaced as he realised he didnt need that bit, no backpacks.)

But brand new stuff would definately be the prices from Scott on dwhs.


Edit: Oh! and my friend got all the battle for Marcagge models (No scenery, no Lt whateverhisnameis) For £1.50

$20 USD for 12 GK Termies and 17 PAGKs from a kid my son knew at school. My son is a junior in HS, so I wasn't ripping off some little kid, just so you know, lol.

£15 for 1500 points of Necrons in fairly decent order. I never played with them and so then sold them on Ebay for £60 XD

Recently, I got about 400 - 500 points of Wood Elves for £20. Not as good I know, but the second best bargin I've ever come across.
