Cool idea guys!

Looks like it will come in handy, I'll check back the next time I buy something and see if you guys need pics of it.

We do need someone to do the numbering on the pics with gimp or photoshop or something. Anyone wanna have at it? Don't worry about trying to get the numbers to match the list, I can change the list pretty ez.

This forum has a variety of sprue pics - might save some effort.

Definately a time saver. Alot of pictures seem to have poor lighting however.

I often search through bitz websites (e.g. bitzbarn) that sell individual sprues. They sometimes have pics, but it is a pain in the ass.

I would use your Sprueapedia.

You know that the catalogs GW put out contain all the pictures you are looking for.

I have a 2006 and a 1997 one they are great reference books to have.

Okay, I know sod all about the picture sizes you'll want so if you can help with the specifics I've got a Hellhound, Valkyrie and one of the new Chimeras as well as a Cadian Battelforce, Catachan command squad and probably a couple of other boxes of stuff that I can take pics of and send in.

The camera I'll be using is a Canon E50D (think that's right it's at home and I'm at work) and is 8megapixel so the pics usually end up a bit too large.

Don't suppose anyone's got any pics of the SM tactical squad sprue? I'll definitely be using this website when it's in more complete form.

Pull this off, and you will ascend to daemonhood. Knowledge is power, and soon you will hold it all!

EDIT: Also, I would gladly help edit some pics.

@Clthomps - We are using out own pics so we dont have to get GWs permission

@Natorum - your pics are resized in the website. mine are like 12 MP, but the 800 part after the image name sizes it. Drop me a PM and I can help walk you thru it if you want. The best way is to just copy one that is done and plug in your own pics!

@Dreadnote - The OP has one but hasnt uploaded the pics yet.

@everyone! - If you want to help, just let me or deadalus know, there are several things that can be done! need someone with GIMP (which is free) of photoshop to do the numbering. And pics, need lots of those. Drop me a PM if you have any questions!

Well I went ahead and bookmarked the site anyway - keep up the good work guys!

Thanks, I just noticed that some of the other sprues are numbered, I'll do some relabeling tomorrow, make sure they match.
I'll be adding more stuff soon aswell, stay tuned!

@whalemusic360 and deadalus

I just wanted to let you guys know that I have some pics of ork boyz sprues that I have numbered. I was just wondering where you want me to send the pics? I'll prolly be PMing you guys soon. Anyways let me know.

Cool, I can get them labeled this weekend, and hopefully get my new stuff up aswell! Might need some help on the parts, though boyz are pretty basic.
Also going to start outting up the boxes that we dont have pics of as placeholders and the battleforces with different sets in them.

My $0.02... I think pictures of sprues are a great help. I've found pictures from various sources around the net to help figure out what kits to get for specific conversions or to see if the variant (blood angels Death Company) is worth the price over a standard kit (Assault Marines)

Good luck with the project!

Yeah I'm interested. I'm tired of having to ask dumb questions before I buy a box. It would help if GW just put them in their catalog, but they don't always think straight. I had to ask once which weapons I can get for SM scouts just to find out whether or not it comes with a ML. I felt dumb. I didn't see a linky to your pics though, are you just PMing them?

My pics? I just add them in. My lamp exploded tho so I havent had a chance to take pics. I got some more BA hqs, a land raider terminus and a preditor, I'll try to get them up this weekend.

I'll be adding a DC as soon as I get some more stuff done, have to catch up on the zillion things to paint. I finished up my frist DC right before we started this project.

Cool. You guys are doing all of us budget gamers a service. Imagine the shock of KNOWING WHAT YOU BUY BEFORE YOU BUY IT!

Love the idea, now why not get the people of dakka to help?

I wouldnt mind taking pics of sprues from each box i buy and sending pics to you for the site.

Just make a thread requesting sprue pics and update as you go.

With the large ammount of dakka members it shouldnt take you long to get everything (week or so?) and after that, any new releases can be added as they come out.

@jack - I think that may be a good idea. Every time this thread dies off untill we get an update and then add like 20 posts. Most of the people that have offered pics have yet to supply any (at least to me), though some have just contacted me.

@Guitardian - That is quite an idea, no? I have got a few things that didnt have what i thought they would (I'm lookin at you, DA veterans with your no storm bolter, dispite being on the front of the box).

Sorry I have no cam bro. Can't help, just be a cheerleader for now.

Pukenuts orks are up! Also added some non-gw models. Going to add a page for stuff we dont have yet as place holders.

I'm a big fan of this idea. I have a Space Marine Commander, Command Squad, Devastators and Tactical Squad that I can put up if needed. I also have an Eldar Battleforce, Dire Avengers, and the Farseer/Warlock box.

I'd like to suggest that transfers be included in the pics, and also that the lists of units for each race be organised by HQ, Elites, Troops etc.

I put the Space Marine Commander up. Pictures are bit gigantic, but I can't resize them as is so I'll have to upload them again later on.

If you still have all the pics, I'd leave the "front and back" as to seperate pics, just list them after eachother.
Thanks for participating, the more people we can get the better it will be!

I can start organizeing them by where they fall later today


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Do you think I should include things like Land Raiders in multiple catigories like on GWs site (heavy, dedicated) or just put them under whatever I think they fit best (heavy)?

They'll all be right there on one page so I don't think you'll need duplicates.

I'll reduce the size of the Commander pics and get some more up when I can.

Ok, no dups then.
Should we have things like Land Raiders (my favorite expamle evidently) in the Dark Angels, etc? Or just leave it in Codex?
Also should I have the Chapter Masters set and all four of them on their own (ie, Master of the Watch)? Same with Vets.

I need someone who knows about ImpGuard to help me put the "collecters" stuff in the correct catigory


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Jack, I got your pics up and pages made for them, but I dont know what most any of the stuff is. If you get the chance can you edit and put in the names for the stuff please?

Everything in current production has a spot now (AFAIK). We are working on a logo and still need lots of pics! PM me or jump in if you can help!

Glad to see Pukenut and Torch1784 joined up! If you have any questions pm me! Im usually very quick about responding.

I've got some Eldar Jetbikes and Vypers on order - I'll take photos when they arrive.

what's the best way to send them to you?

I've sent you pictures of the Jetbike sprues and the sprues for a sisters of Battle Immolator. Vypers coming later.

Tau devilfish, Skyray and Hammerhead sprues sent. Gun drone and crisis suit sprues sent. Necron Destroyer sent.
