Come on H.B.M.C your the guy who single handily keeps GW's terrain department employed, we've seen your pile of terrain shame there's enough there to fill fifty tables.

I think HBMC’s ultimate goal is to be able to construct a 40k scale hive city

"These prices are outrageous? Why would they do this? I'll take seven boxes, please!"

That's not a landing pad. That's a hot tub.

I want to see that conversion.

They will be ways of getting old of this far cheaper in the future. I perssonally have 100's of terrian sprues of sector mechanicus. I paid £4 per spue from the Conquest issues with the 50% off sale.

Then element games are selling the kill team battle zones in there clearence range for £30 with the boards too.

Just got to hold out.

However I do have a problem. I probably have the biggest pile of shame on here!

Seven boxes, but note that's instead of my usual 10!

"Why does GW keep raising prices?"

I won’t post a picture as too ashamed but I have an attic of shame rather than a pile…

I will probably grab one of these boxes discounted. I would like to have a second landing pad but can’t really justify the price so will bulk out the table with the intact building from Killteam, some ruins and some stacked containers / cranes.

That is indeed an impressive pile. I thought mine was ridiculously large but I feel yours may be more massive.

/Edit - In fact I'm gonna take a pic of mine when I'm finished work for today, see what it looks like all laid out :0

I am impressed, especially with the number of 2nd edition boxes in there!

But at least take comfort in the fact you do not have 3 copies of Space Fleet and yet have never played a game.

Pure gold, glad to see you kept hold of them all those years!


. It all started off with hero quest and space crusade in the early 90s. However sadly large amounts of my collection were foolishly sold in the red period. Now it is all treasured.

No you don't. That's 17 of the tubs. There are actually 21 in total. And that's not all of it.

I know you're trying to have a dig at me, but I already explained my situation.

Nice try though. Real good effort.

Haha, nice try. That was just part of the two rooms I have full. I have far more that are in boxes and draws.


When I get home I can take more photos.

I hadn't seen the other photos yet when I posted the above, just your initial ones.

I can't quite fathom why anyone would ever need to own... *counts* 14 copies of Indomitus. Or twenty copies of Blackstone Fortress.

I feel more normal now. Thank you.

There is always someone who is more messed up

Maaaybe if someone like that is telling you "yo, that's way too much", you might want to take heed.

The blqckstone fortresses. I was hoping to make a traitor guard army. Needed 300 of buggers. As for indomitas wanted a priuarus company or 3

300 Traitor Guard made up of the same 7 poses. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Yeah wasn't the best idea. Was going to convert a load but then started another project.

I haven't even opened any of the boxes! My thought is if gw keep rasing the prices I can get back more than the £66 per set I paid from the lootroom

I believe those traitor guard alone sell in the region of £30 per squad iirc (might be lower, but not by much)

Tell me about it! Thays why I just bought the full sets.

I think the pile of shame showcasing and boasting should really go into a topic of its own.

Congratulations for getting back on topic for highlighting the demographics of the gw target group.

One would rather send jeeves direct to GW, what what say you?

fwiw this brief "Pile of shame" wankery was the highlight of the thread for me. Maybe a threas should be made for it, but where? General discussion I suppose?

Me apparently being one of the pile of shame w ankers, started off with me explaining how to get the secontor mechanicus sprues for £4 per each and where to get the sets for 50% off in the uk. Then HBMC wanted an explanation in to why I wanted to certain quantities of things in my collection. Not that I would question his reasoning of having boxes in his bedroom full of plastic crack. It's self explanatory

I wanted to share my painted collection in the other sections but if I'm honest I've been put off.
