That's actually a pretty cool model, especially with that chain mail banner. I'll have to dig around for one more reasonably priced. Bantha what's your asking rate?

I have to say I love this thread!
It's like a 'how not to sell on ebay' tutorial
The thing that gets me most of all are the 'pro painted' which is open to opinion at best and just plain wrong at worst or the it's old so it must be super rare oop charge £40 for a single space marine model.
Obviously it seems to work or else they wouldn't still be on there with thousands of feedback but for me personally it leaves a bad taste. Like the models aren't expensive enough as it is!
As a first post on here, that seemed like a bit of a rant for which I apologize.

Yeah, I sold my Diaznettes at a fairly good price ($65 for 10) and they were even missing a couple claws. Don't ask how much I sold my mounted Diaznettes for...
Ok: I'll tell. Bought 20 for $100, sold em for $400.

The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.” |

Wardragon does excellent work. If you can afford it, it's totally worth the price. One of my buddies has 4 or 5 armies (5,000 to 10,000 points each) that are painted almost totally by Wardragon. About 99% of my Dark Eldar army is painted by them, too.
Their packing is TOP NOTCH and, if something is wrong, they do a spectacular job of fixing it... that's not even to mention that everything listed is (a) on hand and (b) WYSIWYG. If it's not already painted, it's not for sale... and the pics in the auction are the exact items for sale, not "representative of what you will receive." They don't have generic pics for that piece/unit, then send one painted similarly, like some do.

is the thick paint a separate piece? Not sure there is enough Simple Green on the planet to clear that.
