This thing is rare and I think the last thing I need to complete my collection. I have every other armorcast/epicast ork vehicle I know of including the great gargant.

Right now, the only thing that I feel I really need to make my 40K experience complete is 6th edition. That is if it is anything like the current rumors.

I had one and sold it, I have another old one encrusted in paint. I don't know how to strip it because of the size, it's not like I have a bucket of brake fluid.

Armorcast Great Gargant. Got it a few years ago, still awe inspiring

A Baneblade variant or a Macharious.

Sounds silly, but to buy one, I have said to myself I need 2k of guard fully painted AND my 2.5k of BA fully painted.

Someday...

Mine would have to be these: In the eighties they released a box set under the regiments of reknown label. I got Mengil Manhide's company of Dark Elves. At the time they also released a whole hoard of Dark Elf figures which were sculpted to blend in with the army, ranging from more warriors to witch elves and scorcerors. Blisters were pot luck if you got the ones you wanted and I was penniless at the time so there are a few that I would have liked to have got g hold of, just to complete the collection. Lastly, I'd like to get hold of an Amazon Leader from the range they did back then also: The Goddess Rigg!

It isn't hard to find heavily used/incomplete 2nd edition stuff.

You can find cheap books but they are often in questionable shape and show their age.

I have many of the 2nd edition codexes (Ork, SOB, Marines, etc.), but I would love to have complete box sets of the 40k set and Dark Millenium in mint which are hard to come by (hence "holy grail")

this guy:



there's been a few on ebay every now and again, i'm just waiting for the perfect bargain.

I think it would be the Armorcast Warhound Titan. I always liked the epic model but the 40K scale one . . .

Of course the current FW ones aren't exactly shabby, but I couldn't justify spending that much, not that I'd likely fork out for the armorcast version esp. when I don't play apocalypse.

@Howard A Treesong - I agree about the 54mm genestealer although I have one (& not about to part with it ) although I had to do something about those claws, cut them & opened them up to look like the original plastic GS - it makes for a great broodlord model

My latest have been:



Just bought him from ebay for 12£, so that is one down.

The harder/much more expensive ones:



Want this one badly, but 100$ for a single miniature is a bit too steep



This is my #2 want, again 60$ for a single miniature is more than I want to spend at the moment

If you can find simple green just use that in a 4L ice cream pale, thats what I use to strip models. although if your using break fluid...umm... might not work so well =o[


I would love to get ahold of the Slaves o Darkness, a physical copy of BotA, Adeptus Titanicus, and the Space Marine rule book (mk I epic) as I can't find mine or my codex titanicus.

I would also love to get ahold of the old calgar model sitting down ...I just love him something about it, maybe it was the old artwork in the beginning of the compendium that makes me like it so much.

3rd edition codex space marine and chapter approved 2003 2004.

Gimli on pony from the first citadel LOTR figures.
(before the movies)

A woman... or a Tau Manta (or 3)

I'd really like the time / energy / enthusiasm to paint my own stuff again. I miss RT era gaming.

Female Commissar, metal Baneblade (was it armorcast? Thought I heard of a metal one before), and....I think that's it for now.

There's no metal baneblade, the Armorcast one was resin too. Maybe you're thinking of the Thunderhawk.

The armourcast Tyranid stuff. Exocrine, Haruspex, Dactylis, Malefactor. One of each.

I see them come up very rarely for sale, and while they're never expensive (usually around $100) I never have the money right then, and they get sold very quickly.

Nothing that's been made or released yet.

I'm thinking a Mouse Guard army (in the style of Mouse Guard, so
not Skaven, not Reaper Mouselings).

The Bauhaus Grizzly.

My Blood Axe Kommizar-Boss wants it...

A non-XV9 Forge World suit.

My Holy Grail is currently to start a Relic's Britanan army.

Hopefully by Christmas I will be able to

The unreleased female farseer is ugly, imho.

The original books? Got them all handed down to me.

What I am searching for is rather curious, and the searching for it has become a kind of game unto itself:

.

between 2005 and 2007 I took a timeout from 40k (the gaming and general hobby part) but kept painting.

In 2007 when I came back, I realised that they had released a bonesinger as a limited release with one of the DOW Games or somesuch.

I knew then: I had to have that one.

.

Now, at the time my funds were _very_ limited, so it was always a goal just out of reach financially.

Today I could easily afford buying a dozen off eBay whenever I feel like it, but in the last 4 years it has become a game of its own kind:

I have converted a dozen female farseers, using different ranges, I own every and all Farseer miniature (except the unreleased female one) ever produced - with the exception of the Bonesinger.

He is my blue flower, I will continuously bid for him, but although I could just buy him off of someone, and wouldn't bat an eye to pay 4 times of what he goes for usually, this has lost all meaning of owning, having the model, painting, assembling (or, now, stripping of colour).

This has become a Game of "how cheap can I get him?"

And whenever I find some auction that I _could_ finish for below something I had bid on before, I will let it slip. Because I know that I can go lower.

.

Searching and bidding for the Bonesinger is The Blue Flower for me, an unreacheable romantic goal, and one I don't want to ever reach.

.

I also have to apologise to anyone whose cost of aquiring a Bonesinger I might have driven up in the past quarter-dozen-years.

Sorry you guys, it's really weird for me, too :-/




edit: Oh, don't even bother trying to give it to me as a present - that won't count. I wanna buy it off of someone who doesn't know me, preferreably for the original retail price
Once I find that I will try finding something even cheaper...

None. I've had all those books listed. I have/had that terminator in trio form. I still have some robots somewhere. There's not really anything I'd want to look for.

It was a bonus limited edition model in the Eldar megaforce, not related to Dawn of War at all. Thus, it doesn't have a retail price.

I guess you could consider the megaforce its retail price, and try to get one cheaper than that?

Yeah commisar gaunt i managed to get nib for 10 its everyone else I cant find.

I would love to have the entire black library collection from the very first book to the most recent.

Knowledge is power.

I'd love to have a unit of squat bikers to convert and run with scout biker rules:


My true holy grail is a piece of plastic from the 80's but it's not a mini.

I have always wanted a full on Warhammer Fortress with a keep, courtyard, stables, kennels- the whole shebang. Maybe with detailed interiors too, if I feel crazy. And a moat, and functioning drawbridge.

Problem is, I'd need to collect an army that would occupy that sort of fortress! (Currently have Dwarves, Orcs and Chaos).

Alternatively, an entire Underground battlefield would be really awesome.

Well thats simple then, A Chaos Keep, preferibly with heaps of spikes and skulls all over the place. Didn't Archon take over Brass Keep during that Storm of Chaos that never happened?


A Daemon keep ( living with daemon faces popping out all over the place) would be most awsome also =o]
