Found it!

I'm saving up what sprues I have so I at least have a shot at that raffle, that is, if they still do it.

Also, anybody have pics of ground sprue terrain? I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Sprue Necrons, Awesome! lol

If you end up using them keep a few, but dont have a 6 foot pile of them lying around, that's more than you will ever need lol!

If you want to ditch them, recycle them, you can -
