Take heads, for example. Almost every GW resin kit has more heads than you strictly need. Unless you plan on building a big pile of severed heads in honor of Khorne, you're unlikely to ever find a use for them. So here I am, with a whole bunch of unused heads. And lasguns. And torsoes. Has anyone in the history of the hobby ever found himself lacking a Cadian torso? I doubt it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375006.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.
I spent a great deal of time stripping all my extra sprues of their bits and putting them in neatly labelled pots.


Thanks for the neat solution on what to do with my spare heads, though ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375133.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375310.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375310.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375339.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375346.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375346.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.
As for lasguns, create a base for them and stick them barrel down in neat rows as a grave site for your fallen guardsmen. Maybe consider dangling some of the unused ammo pouches from them.

Also, enough ammo pouches strung together and filled with sand/dirt would make a good looking extra/ablative armour for tanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375357.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375358.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9375377.page GMT Re:I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. however I can make you feel less like a hoarder...my bits box is measured in Liters (and not small numbers like 1 or 2 liters ... or even 10 or 20) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9376967.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9376967.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9376968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9376968.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.

Ha yup. The problem I have is... I have so many bits instead of digging through the chaos to find a specific piece, I often end up just buying it again new from bit sellers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9377463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9377463.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.

I had to do that with my combi-meltas. I could not find the melta part for ages, so I gave up and ordered some online. Only after the day after they were delivered did I find all four of them. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9377532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9377532.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.
If anyone wants them, hmu.

I need legs and torsos.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9378425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9378425.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.

Just because you not use em now. Does not mean you use them in a years time. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9378437.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9378437.page GMT Re:I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9378888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9378888.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.
Expect for two cases of bitzs, everything is at least organized by army, and whether it's weapons, arms, heads, etc.

Speaking of which I do have a ton of bitz...and I'm in the market for a grey seer's head....so...I have IG, SM, Orks, and other odd things in there...be happy to swap... *walks off whistling innocently*

I now have 2 power mauls, 2 storm shields, 3 sets of lightning claws, 3 thunder hammers, a DW storm shield, various shoulder pads, 4 DW swords and bolters, 10 tacticals bolters, specials and arms, combi weapons and power fists left over, along with a couple of spare torsos and about 15 spare heads between the sets (including all the tacticals). This doesn't even begin to count my bitzbox at home. I also have basically no way to use any of these bitz without buying up a load of spare legs.


I may take all the spare heads for a Khorne base... maybe a Daemon Prince or Bloodthirster.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379513.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379513.page GMT Re:I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.

If you're feeling creative, building small pieces of highly detailed battlefield terrain can be a good use of spare parts. That, and fancy bases.

For example, I'm taking a bunch of extra lasguns and helmets and creating a "gun rack" of sorts, that will serve as a piece of scenario terrain/ammo dump decoration.

Never throw out bits though, when you're doing conversion work they are like gold. For my piles of less important ones, I keep them in a cup.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379525.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379659.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. they have many uses!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9379781.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem.
Really, the correct answer is that everyone should play 40K Orks in addition to anything else they play, if for no other reason that to use bitz in quantity before those stacks in your basement shift and kill some poor innocent who was only down there looking for a Philips Head screwdriver.

Another thing we could do in this thread - pride of place in you bitz collection is....

For me it's the five lead Rogue Trader Space Marine jet bikes I own that will eventually turn into a Scout Biker Squad. Eventually. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9380246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9380246.page GMT I cannot be the only one with a bit-hoarding problem. GW discontinued Black Gobbo. It had a lot of articles on how to effectively use your bitz to either stretch your forces, build terrain and objective markers, or in creative new ways that you might not have thought (the most ingenious one I remember was using the lictor's crotch as the face of a Greater Daemon of Undivided). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9380282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/726262/9380282.page GMT
