Kroot Nob Bikers hit the field


Edit: duh, forgot the Ebay Link - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200460496106
Had a great run with these guys (Best General GT Baltimore 2008!), but they've gotta go to make room for more projects. Including all of the bikers, kroot squad, gretchin pit crew, and carrying case. All models are fully based and painted with lots of crazy bits and conversions added. Asking price to be set by the market, I really just want these guys to go to someone who will use them.

* 2 Ork warbosses on bikes with Powerklaw: The bikes were created from deffkopta kits, given Krootox heads for beefiness, and numerous jet engine and gun bits have been attached to make it appear like a suitably orky jetbike.
* 2 Ammo runts: Warhammer fantasy boars loaded down with rockets, explosives and ammo - intended to trot alongside the warboss bikes.
* 20 Ork nob bikers: Bikes created from deffkopta kits, given kroot heads with custom goggles, numerous gun bits, engines, saw blades, force fields, magnetized rockets and flamethrowers attachments have been added to make the unit highly customizable.
* 17 Kommando unit with Kroot Maul (Boss Snikrot): Kroot squad with extra armor and orky equipment added. Boss snikrot is represented by a Kroot warrior riding a krootox and wielding a double bladed chainsword weapon - painted to look like Darth Maul from Starwars.
* 12 Gretchin pit-crew: Warhammer fantasy gnoblars loaded down with fuel tanks and ammo. Intended to look like a pit crew for the bike swarm.
* 1 GW carrying case with foam - pictured. This army fits neatly into a single case.

Shipping is free to everyone in the continental US, and if you're from Dakka I'll do free shipping on international also (be sure to email me with that info if you win so I can apply the discount).





Edit:
Thanks much for the nice comments below! It was a blast to get it all together on the field. I wish I could find the fluff-text that I wrote out for Baltimore... The whole thing was a final report from a group of Tau scientists that had been feeding Ork meat to captive Kroot in order to test their genetic adaptation effects. The Kroot eventually get orky enough that they Waaagh and bust out of the Tau research lab with a bunch of stolen tech - and are now at large.

Just in case there was any confusion in the posting, this is all open to international bidders and I'm offering to pay all shipping for anyone who has a Dakka user-ID that wins - that includes international.

Posted after the bump warning, my bad. Will append to main post and delete.

Sadly I wont be buying this as I'm UK based, but I just wanted to say how utterly awesome this army looks. Always love it when someone pushes Kroot limits!

I would buy these no question for $100 if I lived in the USA!

damn very cheap. my eye will be on the army

Beautiful and imaginative!!

While it is quite a beautiful army on sale, please stop bumping this thread unless you're making an offer.
