I know that there are no stupid questions. But some questions come awfully close. Here's mine:

My Mk I Necron Battleforce provided 5 scarab swarms, and I understand the Mk II provides 7 of those useful little bugs. A pack of 12 Necron Warriors also comes with 3 scarab bases.

I understand GW sells blisters of scarabs that look nothing like the plastic versions, 2 bases for $11 US or so. Simply put, two small metal spiders crammed onto a base does not constitute a swarm; I'm seeking 'carpet of death' over 'rather heavy pair of bugs'. Aside from the magical trade hub that is eBay, would someone recommend a specific website or two that could sell me large quantities (5-12 swarms a pop would be great) of scarab swarms, without having to buy 36 Necron warriors in the process, or *gasp* a bunch of blisters?

Barter town or the war store.

BarterTown is like ebay, but can trade things instead of just money.

Warstore does custom bitz, but it may be kinda pricey.

Could buy the warrior sprues and trade the warriors or just try to buy/trade from folks. Bartertown works as does Dakka.

You might try heading over to Dakka trade; there's always good trading going on there and you can find just about anything you want.

Thank you, all. Trading over le internet is a scary world, but it's worth a shot. I can't get me enough of those bugs.

@ Dash- Good post on the Tau gunline approach over in the tactics section; I showed it to another Tau player and he was overjoyed.
