I just received mine today, so it looks like they are making their way through the orders slowly but.steadily.

Got mine on Thursday, had no shipping notification though.

My first order was placed on Day 1 of the sale, and shipped out 3-4 days later, arriving yesterday. Order #2 has not yet shipped, AFAIK.

I received notices that my orders were fulfilled about 5 days after I received the confirmation notices.

The Algoran command just cost me another pretty penny.

How good are the bases ? I just bought 500 of them for $30.

The bases seem to be very thin and flat with a slight ridge around the edge.lots of scope to do what you like on them.

Thanks Flinty !

Mostly to annoy my friends who religiously only use GW models, I plan on starting a new counts as Tau army using the C3 sprues for Tau Fire Warriors and Gun Drones, the Ghar for Tau Stealth Suits, and the Al Sprues for Vespids.

Anyone have suggestions on where I can get 20 pairs of cheap wings that will look good and the Algorin ?

If I didn't alreadybhave a tau army I would have done the same.thing

For vespid wings you could.try getting a paper punch and using it on 0.5mm plasticard. You'll probably wreck the punch quite quickly, but it should be good for 20 pairs.

Something like this

You could also just give them jet packs since it’s count as anyway....

Or if you want bat wings puppetswar makes themhttps://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=258

Or check ebay/Amazon for those plastic joke fly you can drop in peoples food/drink

I don't think I would use punched out paper dragonflies or novelty flies, but if I can find some plastic dragonflies at the dollar store, I may be in business.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Someone bought up the Celtic Command Sprues. I hope they noticed that those sprues don't have the heads on them.

Maybe they are playing zombie celts with no heads. Like the headless horseman...just crazier.

final delivery from the sale arrived today, so they're still going out if you're waiting (and I didn't get an email saying it had been sent this time)

Been over a week for me, no shipping notice or anything

It was 17 for me (ordered on 24th Aug) and that's delivering nationally not internationally

Yeah, still waiting for mine - I think the website said it would about 15 days for oversea orders, so they should show up soon.

More sprues for the sprue pile...

Also ordered on the 24th, got shipping notice on the 7th, still waiting for the order, but I bet they are swamped.

Yeah, they posted a video from Paul Sawyer and John Stallard apologizing for the slowness due to the massive amount of orders they got.

My giant box of like 60 sprues arrived Friday!

My order turned up last week, they did say when I emailed them the delay was just due to the number of orders received in the sale.

Well, got home today and it had come in the mail. Ordered on 8/17, so about 23 days?

Just got the shipping notification for the order I placed over the last weekend of the sale.

I just got a shipping notice for my order that I received weeks ago. I really hope I won't have to go through the hassle of returning another 200 romans.

what happened?

Email for already delivered order here too (I think they're just catching on all the ones they didn't send as they were too busy packing & posting)

Stuff showed up today. That's good.

Now to divvy up the goods to the guys who ordered with me...

I bought the C3 models to also do a Tau-esque force, but I now I am kind of wishing I had of waited and got the Algoryn instead, as they seem a little bit larger and more in line with GW's Tau. Anyone have any size comparison pictures?

20 sprues of C3 should be more than enough though. I'll just have to work with what I have I guess

The Algoryns are the right size, but not the right proportions. C3 could work as some sort of diminutive client species for the Tau. At least you got 20 awesome drones.

Sadly, I didn't see the Algoryns, either.

The drones were exactly what sold me on getting the C3. I bought as soon as I saw the sale go up, but it was too early for the Algoryns. The drones are fantastic, and can be easily converted to what I want.

Looking at the miniatures, the C3 aren't as bulky as GW figures, but they look much better proportioned, and I should be able to work something out. Height wise, I think they'll do fine.

Apparently they oversold stuff so you may not get everything you actually bought. My box came without my 8 modern soldier sprues and I had to email CS to find out why.

With my C3, I'm going to do a slight variation on my Tau paint scheme, with the hopes of using them as Gu'vesa in any 40K game.

The C3 drones are indeed awesome. Not that I'm using them as drones



The best thing about super cheap sprue of stuff is that you can just do weird stuff without worrying about how much it cost.
