I would like to buy assorted mantic bitz ready to customise my Dungeon Saga minoatures when they come in a months time.
Dungeon Saga has singe pose repeated miniatures which in my opinion could be improved with customisation,

I am interested in bitz from Kings of War miniatures sets to help diversify my dungeon minions, especially the larger ones.

One or two arms, legs, heads, and torsos and the odd weapon are he priority. I can make a good range of changes with even one piece of each type of each race. AFAIK there are enough bitz leftover on a KoW sprue so his should be easily to gather for anyone who plays the game. Which I do not.

I will offer reasonable compensation for time bitz and postage to my source. Ideally I want to get enough bits from a single bitz purchase so I am looking for someone heavily involved in KoW. The heroes are not going to be touched, at least by me, so I am looking entirely for bits from black hat factions. As I am having trouble sourcing picture of many mantic spues I dont know how realistic it is to ask for bitz. It is entirely possible some sprues dont have any bitz spare and it would be important to my to know whether it is unrealistic asking for bitz from certain parts of the range.

Bitz needed:



Trolls - troll bitz are important as the game includes a fair umber of trolls and zombie trolls, all large prominent and monopose. In fact he monopose zombie troll is the primary must change miniature for me and the reason for the thread. I don't want three zombie trolls all lifting the same rock the same way. AFAIK Mantic dont do zombie troll regiments, but Dungeon Saga includes regular trolls anyway, so I will be interested in whatever you have spare. I might be able to glean usefulstuff from GW super ghouls....looking up name online.... crypt horrors.

Zombies and skeletons - Mostly interested in weapon changes, but the odd head helps and if we can some minis changed from the torso up. Basic undead is common in Dungeon Saga and variety of pose would be beneficial, especially armoured bitz.. Spare GW undead bits would be appreiated as alternates.

Orcs and goblins - Those poses for these are much better and more generic, the odd weapon or head swap will suffice but I am sill in or a few torso up conversions if they can be arranged.

Abyssals are wanted but the stock poses are ok and I dont think the army is released yet. Mentioned for completion only.

So what I am looking for is a Kings of War/Warhammer undead player who has a diverse selection of bits. If it comes to it I can just buy abox of Mantic trolls. Hint: If you want to collect Dungeon Saga yourself make sure you have enough bitz fr yourself, I think once you see the miniatures conversions will become popular.

Keep in mind that using hot water to bend some of the minis might be enough to fix some issues, especially for the trolls. Its definitely possible, theres even instructions on how to do it on the back of the rulebook.

True. Up to a point. The zombies in the Beasts of War video had different poses for each of the two types of zed. They looked fine.

Reposing the trolls only goes so far, I would want to convert at all but one.

The expansion has three sets of minis, The base game contains two sets, so it looks like I need 3 zombie trolls total.

Also some minis are single sold piece, like those with cloaks. I am looking for weapon and shield variants on some, perhaps a head swap.

All in all I dont need a lot of stuff, and that is to convert a full DS set with all the major expansions.
