Metal Penitant engine. Urgh

Metal rackham model (I think). Fire Elemental. The claws. Smallest join I've ever seen. Pined, puttyed and glued yet still won't hold

Another reason why I've started to dislike playing my empire. Knowing the vast majority of my models are a pain in the butt to set up on the field only to be removed minutes later.

Imperial Guard...

I won a $500 shopping spree from my FLGS and decided to use it to built up my Chapter Serfs IG Force. I got 120 guardsmen, and a number of tanks. I started with the tanks, and let me tell you, I HATE tracks. Then I went with the guardsmen. I learned I hated those even more. Each arm was specific to another arm, so you had to clip them from the sprue one at a time to ensure they didn't get mixed up. Then the assembly itself was a pita. By the time I got done with 60 of them, I hated the army so much I sold it. Maybe $700 worth of stuff (I had owned a few IG things prior to this) I let go for maybe $300 overall, and I haven't regretted it for a second.

Let me guess, IG catachans? Hate the fethers, don't own a single one that is properly holding its rifle.

Same here, found out that the meat of the palm of your hand looks alot like pork

My entire Thousand Sons army.

I bought a lot of stuff second hand, and my god, some of you people do NOT know how to use glue. Some of the poor gakkers were so covered in glue that they were featureless.

Then there were hidden fees everywhere when I bought another set of oop thousand sons. They almost ended up costing me double the agreed amount by the time everything was said and done, and the most of them were missing their power plants.

I'll see the Thosand sons and raise you my Khorne army, second hand.

The paint on the beserkers was ridiculously thick, about 3 coats of pure paint from the pot on them, metal Obliterators - I'll sum them up by saying they aren't even on bases, Kharn had half his axe missing.

And I didn't even get all the guys the seller said id be getting (got most, and £50 seemed like a bargain).

the dudes that I got compete pretty closely with that khorne army of yours. Some of the models had non acryllic paint to boot, so they needed different treatment for cleaning as well, thouth that didn't bother me as much.

Although I did once obtain some guardsmen I never bought instead of items i did pay for that were in a similar condition as you listed.
