Hello all,

I'm new to this forum so I'm hoping I've read the rules correctly and that this is the right section to be in...if it's not then please let me know so I can sort it.

A few years ago when I was really into my Warhammer I decided that I wanted to play Epic, and an opportunity arose at the time to aquire an arm,y which I took. After struggling to find anyone to play let alone teach me the army went back into a box and lived under my bed until a few days ago when I rediscovered it.

I have no use for this army now and I would love to see it go to someone who appreciates the models and will look after them, as you can see in the pictures they have been painted to a good tabletop standard in my opinion. The problem I have however is for the majority of this stuff I have absolutely no idea what it's called, and subsequently that makes selling it harder

I've taken detailed photos of all the models in the hope that members on here will be able to identify them and possibly give me a rough value for them..I'm not looking for offers, just an estimated value. (The photos won't be up straight away, I don't want to clutter this thread so I am uploading them to a site and I will then share the link)

I have assigned numbers to each type of model so that I don't get confused when people are telling me information.
Thanks in advance
Elliot


Now for some eye candy...

[b]more detailed photos here:[b] http://s1228.photobucket.com/user/09labouchard/library/Epic%20army?sort=3&page=1

Ok so from the back, left to right - a bunch of Warlord titans with Banelord bits on them - some bits in the wrong place but you have 2 possibly 3 complete Banelords there.

Imperator titan converted to be Chaos-y. Don't know what the grey super heavy tank back right is - Capitol Imperialis, something like that maybe? - Edit, no it isn't one of those.

You have 6 cannon of Khorne, 6 Daemon Engines (Cauldron of Blood and Death Dealer). 2 Bloodthirster Daemons and an Angron. 2 Warhound Scout titans.

Rank and file you have Beastmen, Bloodletter Daemons and Flesh Hounds, moving onto some Land Speeders, Juggernaughts of Khorne and regular Chaos Space Marine troops. That's what I can see from the photos anyway. As to value, the Banelords can go for £20 or so on Ebay, the Imperator may be £30 (if someone wants to pay that for a Chaos one). The Daemon Engines and Cannon of Khorne are £3 or so each I would say, same for the Bloodthirsters and Angron - not sure about the Daemons (Bloodletters and Flesh Hounds) I do see them for silly money on Ebay but I don't think they sell for anything like what people list them for.

Well that was quicker than I was expecting, thanks a lot for the information filbert, there are more close up photos on the way, just waiting for them to upload (Internet out here in the sticks sucks!)

I will do some more research and see if I can find them a good home

The best possible advice I can offer is to search Ebay or Google image search for 'Epic Chaos' and you will find plenty of pictures to match to what you have.

Most people look at the Ebay prices to gauge what the worth is. Only advice I would give there is to search by completed (ie. sold) listings because the price at what people list stuff at and what it actually sells for can be quite disparate. The UK Ebay market for GW Epic models is dominated by a relatively small number of Ebay gougers who corner the market and list their stuff at ridiculously high prices. I have difficulty believing that anyone pays the prices that they list stuff for (I saw 6 Slaanesh Scout titans listed for £75 the other day as an example). Just because something is listed on Ebay for a high price doesn't mean they sell for that price. Yes, Epic stuff is OOP now but it isn't especially rare really; GW made a ton of this stuff over a number of years. As with most things, for the buyer, Ebay rewards patience and punishes those with no self control - if you are looking for stuff on there, it pays to take your time and wait for the bargains to come up rather than jumping at the first listing you see just because it is listed as 'OMG super rare and OOP!!!1'

That's what I've been doing so far, seems like the only place where people can actually get a hold of this stuff seeing as GW doesn't support it anymore.
I fully understand that, I've never looked at the prices and thought I would get that kind of ridiculous money. That's part of the reason why I signed up to this forum, so that I could talk to actual gamers who could give me a realistic value rather than inflated rubbish.

Thanks for the advice and information, I really do appreciate it!
Photos should be up in the next 20-30mins I would think

Link to the close up photos added to main post, and is here: http://s1228.photobucket.com/user/09labouchard/library/Epic%20army?sort=3&page=1

OK so what I can identify from your photos:

1) Chaos Space Marine stands
2) Terminators
3) Chaos Champions
4) and 5) Can't make them out - need a shot from a different angle
8) Land Speeders
9) Flesh Hounds of Khorne
10) Bloodletters - lesser Daemons
11) Cauldron of Blood - Chaos Daemon Engine
12) Cannon of Khorne
13) Brass Scorpion - Chaos Daemon Engine
14) Death Dealer - Chaos Daemon Engine
15) Banelords - these are the standard Warlord plastic kit with added metal bits - each one should have a carapace mounted missile launcher with two banner poles either side, a tail attachment of some description and two 'arm' mounted weapons as well as metal head. Looks like you have 2 complete Banelords there
16) Angron
17) Bloodthirsters
18) Converted Chaos Imperator titan
19) Warhound titans
20) Warlord titan (I think this is a later edition one) with added metal Chaos weaponry
21) Don't know
22) Land Raider
23) Tzeentch Disc Riders

There is always this site..

This also helps

Tis easy enough to ident most of the models using those sites. The space marines have been made up as undivided stands, rather than separated out into the various legions.

The titans... The metal 'milkfloat' titan has an incorrect collection of bits - you can see what was made for him here

http://solegends.com/citcat1995-6/cat19956p139-01.jpg

The other metal weapons (bar the common ones you get on reavers and warhounds) are all surprisingly sought after on Ebay. Those sites lists them all.

To make banelords use this guide

They list all the various bits.

Hmm, according to this pic:



Your model in number 21 looks like a partially complete Ordinatus Armageddon to me. Might be worth a few bob - those are quite rare I believe.

Filbert here's a better photo of number 4 and 5.
Thank you for the list of models and it's a shame that the ordinatus isn't complete, looks like two parts are missing to me!

Chris thanks for those links, had a quick scan through and they look like they will be helpful, will have to take a more in depth look later on

Those are Beastmen I believe.

That's what I guessed they were, it double posted the same picture, but I think the other models are Slanesh something or other

Yes they are Seekers by the looks of it.

4 are beastmen - my favourite way of basing them was 2 shield beastmen up front, then this chap in the middle

and two of these behind

5 is a slanesh steed

Sorry for delay in replying, been a manic few days here!

Thanks Filbert and Chris for all the help and links you've given me, it's greatly appreciated. Going to do my research now and figure out how much I want for the army

Steeds of Slaanesh, part of the old chaos plastics.
