Also with ebay there is the option for used models. They are much cheaper than new models and with paint-stripping or a few replacement bits you can make them look really good.

Yeah old models are awesome obviously. Or some at least.

If you don't mind second hand and models that may well have been painted, absolutely wicked!!

As others have already stated, eBay is a really good place to buy models at discount prices. Right now I have three Sentinels, five Chimeras, one Basilisk, thirty Steel Legion troops, six SL plasma troops, six SL grenade launcher troops, six SL heavy weapons teams, and one Commissar Yarrick. I only bought one of those Chimeras from the store; the three sentinels I picked up from an auction and the rest of the army came from another. I forget exactly how much it cost, but I crunched the numbers after the purchase and found that trying to buy all of that new probably would have run me 1.5 to 2 times what I paid.

I used to buy retail, but now almost everything I get through eBay. Just picked up 2 brand new Rhinos for the price I would have bought picked up one at from GW. And 2 Forgeworld Dreads for 50% off. Also great for little bitz here and there that you might need or have lost or damaged.

It saves you a tremendous amount of money even with just a little patience.

There are still plenty of decent deals out there, but the great deals are few and far between.

I haven't been ripped off and have a decent amount of bits and units from Ebay.


I agree with this statement far more strongly than the first few.
