I was looking through ebay for some steel legion to make a small force and I stumbled upon this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Games-Workshop-Warhammer-40-000-Imperial-Guard-/130494754867?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item1e6217f033

Does it seem worth it, I already know how they will be painted but thats a problem of mine I always count my chickens before they've hatched.

well they are at 13 pounds now... this wont be the end by far... steel legion is some minis that have a rather unnecessarry worth on ebay...always with high prices ending.... to be honest i often wonder if they would be that much more expensive to order from GW directly...

but hey for your army they would provide greatly... but then there are so many good headsets out there to give you gasmasks...so i would be rather going for lots of cadians and then spice them up with pigioron helmets and stuff...just take a look at maxmini and their counterparts...

If you get them for £13 it would be a bargain. You probably won't though.

Cheers vik I will take a look at Pigiron stuff I saw a couple of their feral models a while a go and they looked perfect for a resistance/milita (with different heads though) so I will probably be ordering from them. The reason I wanted the Steel Legion was primarily the greatcoats as I am horrible with greenstuff.

if you want greatcoats look for the wargames factory greatcoats











and they are quite inexpensive compared to other stuff...

and if you want something else then i could point out the warzone minis...they are pretty cheap on eaby nowadays...

80 minis this cant be beaten...it will genarally go out for 20 pounds mostly less...

Once again Vik your help has proven to be amazing, I did have a look at the warzone mini's seems there is a very large amount of them in Ireland. (Ah the homecountry)

well if i was living in your country i had to do the robin hood to get me all those nice stuff you have... gemany is a pretty dark spot for other mini related things...

Oh I always thought germany were big on their model soldier making or was it toys? One of the two I can't remember which.

Oh one more thing, it isn't to do with this topic, but do you use a translator for english or are you fluent in it? I just wondered although you've probably been asked it before.

probably only toys... but then this was eatern germany... my mum pretty banned the war toys for me when i was a kid....and that was pretty much the same for all of the western kids in those days... all peacfull and stuff...gosh those hipocrisits... we still played our wars with playmobil and legos^^

Lol, I always used to have wars with lego aswell (usually throwing it at my sister) but contrary to you my mum was the one that got me into war gaming by buying my a couple of Airfix kits (as I am a WW2 Nerd ).

well my mom was very against toy guns and plastic soldiers... now having three youngsters on my own... i built a sawed off shotgun from scrap wood , a bolter... an uzi and some swords...and we have lots of heavy artillery in the kids room^^

the more we try to get the kids away from something the more they crave it...

the next thing my mum tried to ban me from where comics and computers...well let me cut it short... she loosed on all acounts^^

Well whenever you deny a human being something be it a book, a DVD or the chance to push a button labelled do not push, they will want to have it or do it. Such are the wonders of the human mind.

On topic it looks as if I may be getting the Figures for cheaper than I thought only 25 minutes to go and still at £14.

well i cross fingers for you, i cant compete as i have all my budget spent already^^

Ah well I will be owing money to my parents for a short while but I have worked out the costs as I have also bought a leman russ and twenty catachans for £1.48 only catch was £10 postage.

Ah well I have been outbid and I don't particulary wan't to get caught in a bidding war so I think I'm going to go to bed 'Night Dakka.

Not surprising there. Prince August miniatures have the rights to them and they are Irish.



I'd use the WF greatcoat guys if you really need them (cadian arms can work, but that's more money spent on them though.).
I just throw spare lasguns onto them (replacing their normal weapon which has been shaved off and the lasgun modified to fit).

Thanks Viktor, that second link is boss.

Now to figure out how to get teef to afford more mini's.

lol the ever living conundrum...
