Huh. You'd have to be stupid to buy it, but then again, nobody ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of your average human. I'm almost tempted to try it myself.

Lists come in 3 sizes
500 pt
750 pt
1500 pt
Get this for comments
1. glory 4 da boyz
2. more orky goodness
so now im doing 2 in 1 by selling my army lists, a strategy for that list, and some top tips about the units in the list, and all for a cheap price.
Slowly ill collect my earnings till I have enough for some more boyz.
So how good is my army list, strategies and tips? Well, im an experienced ork player who with orks has only ever once lost a battle out of the hundreds I have fought
(and that was due to horrific dice rolling).
Well do you believe him ?

Ummmm no. If you cant play test and figure out how to better your list and play tactics then you should probably find a new hobby. He also needs to play some better opponents if he has only lost "1 game in hundreds".

He totally said he had won 100's of games with his lists. The only time he lost was because the dice fethed him. You'd be nuts NOT to pay good money for this!

Hmmm the guy must have a really good army list to want to sell it to someone or at least he thinks he does. I dare someone to buy it who uses orks and try it out.

Ill be honest, I'm almost willing to buy one of those just to find out what hes got in them...If I had to guess, they probably arent great list, and the tactics probably follow "Orks are good in combat rite, so get them there and you wont lose!!!11one!!eleventyone"

Gretchin can cost as little as 40 points, and big meks can cost as little as 35 points. You can have a 115 point list.

Yeah, " im an experienced ork player who with orks has only ever once lost a battle out of the hundreds I have fought (and that was due to horrific dice rolling)" is pretty loltastic
filbert wrote:After ebay has taken their cut, he will need to sell more army lists then there are 40K players to be able to save up for anything
Actually, ebay has many pricing options but I'm pretty sure none of them are without a minimum posting fee. If you go for the cheapest up-front option, it's something like 10% of the actual sale and $2 minimum listing fee, or something like that. This means that every ebay item must sell for a minimum of like $2 in order to make any profit under any scheme. If he's selling for 50p a list, I'm pretty sure he's losing money.
In any case, most new players build TERRIBLE lists. This could easily be avoided by posting your list on dakka, but if people need to pay a nominal fee for a decent list, then I'd say it's probably going to be worth it for the new player. I mean, why spend a few hundred bucks on models just to lose right away because you bought a lot of models that have no synergy?
Of course, as mentioned, there is no guarantee whatsoever that his lists are any good or that his advice is either.
