Yeah, ok, I can picture it. The sword is quite wide right?

Yeah. More like a long, sword shaped club.

Well, when I started my IG up again several months ago I was digging through some boxes that I had packed nearly a year earlier. I found around 30 Cadians, 8+ Hvy Weapon teams, and some Commissars. It was a pretty sweet find because I forgot all about them.

**Hollismason**

Not the best thing to find, but when I went rummaging through my bitz box I found 150 dollars in gift certificates. I guess I had just been saving them up or something I dunno their around 15 years old and the gaming store they go to has been closed for 8 years now.

**KingCracker**

Hmm, Ive found a 5 man squad of the first plastic plague marines. Those ones with the pointy helmets and the knife, that you cant pose. The old school chaos battleforce with the 2 part CSM minis. (man those SUCKED) I also have the 2nd edition powerfist. Some assault cannons from somewhere.
The best find tho, was I lost my super 7 speed dremel of doom, and had to borrow my brothers for a while, PRESTO I found my dremel!!! Now it needs a new bit because this one is shot! HURRAY ME!

**combatmedic**

About 2 weeks ago I found about 30 of the old metal necron warriors and scarabs, probably bought when the rules for them came out in WD all those years ago.

Also found some parts my FW thunderbolt fighter (?) I never put together.

And you stole my quote KingCracker!

**Sgt Rinehart**

Sitting in a crate under a bookshelf for 10 years, new in box :
Tallarn Desert Raiders
Devastators (don't plan on using them, but they will make fine heavy weapons alternatives for my Tac Squads)
Assault Marines (assembled them to be Vanguard, but then decided Vanguard isn't my thing)
Eldar Falcon
Juggernaut Of Khorne

Also a Dante mini that I horribly undercoated in ochre

I'll have to strip that one...

**Flashman**

I found a tiny snail on a Bretonnian Archers sprue and stuck it on the side of my watchtower hut. I like small bitz

**infilTRAITOR**

I don't have a bitz box. I have a corner of a room dedicated to all the bitz gathered in the last 15 or so years.

Rummaging through it all the other day, I managed to find (and build) enough bits for a custom Leman Russ. I also found a Basilisk I must've bought in '95. An Eldar Falcon, an old Chimera, two old Rhinos, couple of Land Speeders, a metal Dreadnought, 50+ Eldar Guardians, 30+ Dark Eldar, Dark Eldar Raider, 10 Eldar Jetbikes and enough Space Marines to make a 3000pt army.

I should sell most of this, I'm never gonna use 'em

**GoFenris**

What about cool things lost in your bit box?

I bought an Ogryn about two months ago I was gonna attempt to hack and convert into an Ork Warboss. POOF, he's gone! I can't find him! Did one of you take him or 'find' him in your bit box via a wormhole?

I did find two old beakie sprues I didn't realize I still had while looking for him!

**BEASTSOFWAR**

i found 3 shoulder vents off an eldar revenent titan after getting a grab bag from my local GW, and half a wing off a chaos fighter lol. They became good scenery

John.

I've now searched through all three of my sprue/blister/general-modeling-crap tupperware bins (you know those big ones from Target or Walmart?) and my large tackle box filled with tiny snipped bits! I really can't find him!?!?! I think I'm starting to believe you! Seriously, I can't figure out what happened to this guy!

On a lighter note, my modeling area is more organized and I did find (or more to the point, remembered) a bunch of random weapon and accessory bits I'd forgotten I had.

That damned Ogryn is really pissing me off, though.

**KingCracker**

Yea it was in that blue bin you have. I ALMOST helped myself to some other shhtuff but I decided "well, Im already stealing THIS" There you go. And honestly if you do have a blue bin and its really in there, Ill have successfully creeped myself out

They're clear (or semi-opaque) but one has a blue top.

**KingCracker**

Oh crappy crap

**Gavin Thorne**

A chaos marine heavy bolter.

Not cool I guess, but weird since I've never played chaos, never played against chaos, never bought a chaos model, etc.

I can only guess that he's there to heckle the loyalists, drink with the orks, and make fun of the pansy eldar.

**Noble713**

-really old metal Chaos Marauders with flails
-freakish-looking "Psykers" with large bald heads
-a scorpion-man figure from the Dragon Strike board game
- ~1400 Epic IG infantry. I used to have a text file where I had laid out my plan for using them, it was something like 8 tactical companies, 3 IG Assault companies, 2 beastmen companies, and a bunch of bike/robot/ogryn detachments.

**deadratman**

Weapons to complete my 20 orks! And 3 space marines from 1988!

**Mistress of minis**

I found my missing lipstick and nail polish in my ork bitz last week.

It gave me an odd idea for a unit of kommandos dressed in drag...

Yes you will make something like this Mistress of Minis.

Please?

"Note"
The Orky Dakka Dakka picture show

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I found a Vermin Lord. Or at least most of one.

It's going begging if anyone wants it.

We need a new forum rule that forbids the posting of the image above.

**Warlord Imp**

10 - Rouge Trader era SM Backpacks (I have only five of these figures)
1 - Legion of the Damned Bolter (wonder where the rest is?)
1 - Snap Fit Terminator Legs (just legs!)
2 - Metal Tact Squad Figures
1 - Rouge Trader era Grey Knight Terminator (no arms)

Oh, I almost forgot, I also found a 1990 Space Marine Captain...

Actually, there is a MUCH worse version of this model floating around somewhere. By worse, I mean graphic and detailed.

Nicorex wrote:So today I was working on unpacking some more of my carp, since I got my desk fixed. Well I seem to have boxes and boxes of bitz. So I decided I need to orginize these bitz, so I know what I have and can stop buying more stuff, since I could probably make just about anything I wanted out of all the stuff I have right now. So I started opening various boxes to see what I had in them. Well mostly I have a TON of marine and chaos marine stuff along with fantasy, ogers, old guard, etc etc etc. I did however find a few real treasures. An original full box of Legion of the Dammed, old school Laz tarantula, rapier lazer destroyer. old marine jetbike(both a built one and one still in the box). But the real golden egg at the bottom of this nest was 2(yes I said two) original Land Raiders, one is partialy built(but looks like all the parts are there to finish it) and the other is still on the sprue. So now I have a deliema. I thought of a cool conversion the other day, whitch i need two old school LR's for, I was going to search ebay for some old junkers, but should i use these 2 pristeen ones instead?

Anyway.. What have you found at the bottom of your bitz box that made you go "Yippy!" when you found it?

I found models so old i couldn't name or clarify what they actually were!
I actually had to post a thread on this site to see if anyone recognized them.
I got my answers.

**Platuan4th**

Sad thing is, I don't have anything "lost" in my bitz box. While I can't specifically name everything in there, I can tell you if I have one in there if asked(finding which box or bag it's in is a different story). It's not organized, but I can recall if I've ever bought a set and generally which pieces I've used and not used from said set.

Near photographic memory is a useful thing to have when planning and working on conversions.

**Cryonicleech**

An Imperial Guardsmen.

A sole, Imperial Guardsmen. Haven't even been remotely interested in Guard, so a shock for me.

**BrookM**

I found several Bretonnian knights, a pile of untouched Cadian sprues and that wittle doggy that comes with the Bretonnian command sprues, it looks like Inquisitor Victoria is getting her yappy little dog after all.
