Orcs & Goblins Army for Sell....Huge Lot

With Fantasy being low on my "games I want to play list" I have finally decided to let go of my largest army.  I started playing Orcs and Goblins 8 years ago and amassed this huge horde.  I have lost countless games with them and won very few.  I suck at Fantasy and have for a couple of editions.  I haven't played any 8th yet, so I decided to get this army on to someone who can enjoy it.  I thought I would put the pics up on here first before loading up my Ebay account, selling unit by unit.  

I have closeups of all units in the army shown below.  I think the pics are good enough that I won't have to describe each picture.  There are several conversions and some mixed units of old and new models.  Also, the movement trays are made from 18 ga galvanized steel with balsa wood edges.  I made them out of steel so I could magnetize the models for ease of transport.  A few of the units I actually got around to magnetizing, but don't remember which.  Scroll down and check it out.  My email is at bottom if you're interested in any of the units/characters.  I would prefer to sell units as they are arranged, so I don't have any odd-numbered units when I get to putting them on Ebay.

There it is, the army I took years to build, but never have time or want to play with.  I will also be posting up my Lizardmen army soon before hitting the Ebay with them.

After seeing the new Ogre Kingdom models, I know that will be my one army I get for 8th edition.  I already have several thousand pts built and will definitely be adding some of the new beasts to it.  At least then I will have a Fantasy army to game with if I have the desire.  

If you would like to work out something on any of the units, or have any questions about something shown above, shoot me an email at ctreleheb AT hotmail.com.  Also, if you didn't see my last post and are interested in starting Warmachine, I have a huge lot of models for sell that you should check out.  They will be hitting Ebay very soon.  If anyone is uncomfortable buying through the blog I will be posting links to my auctions as I put them up to remind anyone wanting that type of transaction.

Want New Stuff, Selling Lots of Stuff Cheap.....Warmachine

Big Angry Behemoth....Fully Built - $42 - SOLD

It's time I finally got around to getting some pics of stuff I want need to get rid of.  I hate posting up on ebay so I thought I would throw pics up here on the blog to offer up some good deals for you fine folk.  Hopefully, this will save me from spending tons of time on ebay, so they can take half my money with fees.  I know some people frown upon others selling things on their blog, but hey Ebay sucks and I promise you'll get a better deal here since I don't have to account for fees and time.  You can check my ebay seller rating at username ctreleheb, and I have sold models through the blog in the past and was left positive feedback in the comments.  http://theminiaturesideofme.blogspot.com/2010/07/want-new-stuff-selling-new-stuffwh-dh.html

Today, all the stuff I have posted up is from a trade I did for some Warmachine a while back.  It all consists of Khador and mercenaries.  In a couple days I'll be posting up lots more stuff I need to move, including my 13,000 pt fully built Orcs & Goblin Fantasy Army, as well as lots of Lizardmen stuff and a few 40k things.  If you know anyone interested in any of these armies tell them to check it out later in the week.  Scroll down and check out all the Warmachine up for now.

Those are all the Warmachine models I have for sell right now.  All pics are of the actual models you would be receiving if you purchased them.  I put a price by each picture description that will be around 30% off retail, unless a part is missing and they will be cheaper.  If you want a large lot of these I will do better than that and in some cases will include shipping.  I can only ship on Fridays and Saturdays due to work schedule, so if you want something soon, it would be best to make a deal before then so I can get them packaged up and shipped out in timely manner.  

If you have been wanting to try Warmachine, now is the time to get a good army started cheap.  Email me at ctreleheb  AT  gmail.com.  Let me know which models you would like to take off my hands and we can make a deal on price and shipping.  I can ship worldwide, but it may take me a couple of days to get you a shipping price.  Also, I will only accept Paypal for these transactions, as it protects both of us.

Edit:  I have MK II cards for most of the Khador stuff.

Misson Ard Boyz. Sallie Wing

So it's that time of year again. Time for Ard Boyz. The past 2 years I have played and made it to semis with a "fluffy" Vulkan list. I say it was fluffy because I didn't have a ton of spam in it, it simply was a great army. Yes I admit, I did have lots of hammer and melta everywhere (why wouldn't I?) but I did follow the fluff in that it contained no fast attack choices. 'gasp!' That's right, no multi melta attack bikes or speeders. Just marines and termies... and 2 land raiders, and 2 dreads. Ok, so maybe it was a little spammed but what Ard Boyz army isn't? Anyways, my point is this. I loved that army and really liked the fluff of the army after reading Salamander and Fire Drake. If you haven't read them I highly recommend them.

But this year I wanted to do something different. I still love my sallies but wanted to try another list with them. But how I should do this proved a problem. And low and behold the Dark Angels got a Codex Update. Storm Shields are 3++ now you say? Yes please! There was my answer, I'll run my sallies as a First Company and use the Dark Angels book. I know, I know, the proper response now is, "count as armys are gay!". And normally I would agree. You should not be able to use vanilla tactical marines as blood claws, or use your unpainted jump marines as blood angels. But what I do think is exceptable is this, you should be able to have some wiggle room between codexes as long as your boys are modeled appropriately and you've devoted your time into making it work. If you have a great modeling idea for an army then you should be able to do what you want. I know this is a hot topic now because people are trying to make their models fulfill different codices. "Yay I have a SM army! Space Wolves are coming out? I'll just say mine are a later founding of the Space Wolves chapter so I can use their codex." No, that's not good.

So back to my plan. Yes I will be running a deathwing list this year at Ard Boyz. But frankly I think the Dark Angels are, well, kinda lame. I mean they wear dresses, and they're pretty much one step away from being heretics. But the idea of an all terminator list or a 1st company list is just too cool. And according to the fluff of 40k every chapter has a 1st company comprised very similarly to that of the Dark Angels. The first company are the best of the best, every army has access to them... including Salamanders! If Salamanders had their own official codex then yeah, I may be calling shenanigans on myself but they don't! So why not right?

But I'm not just going to get a bunch of termies, paint them a different shade of green and be done with it. No, I wanted this army to really show the background and feel of a salamander list. So I went all out with them. Here's my list:

Belial w/ TH/SS (Praetor?)
Librarian in Terminator Armor (Pyriel?)

2 Dreads
1 Land Raider Crusader (no Redeemer option gayness )

7 Termie Squads. 4 TH/SS, 1 Chainfist, 1 CCML


Simple enough right? So I purchased all new termies for this project and made a little order to ForgeWorld.

Body:
That's right, all these termies are going to be wearing the official shoulder pads of their chapter.
I'm thinking of giving them some special shields, maybe from some saurus warriors, to help with the feel of the army.


Bases:
I would like to do the bases in a jet black sand. I've found some thanks to ct that looks perfect. It even has a nice shine to it. I want to cover most of base in that save for a few open lines running across the base. In these lines I would like to paint an orange/yellow/red to make it look like lava. See where I'm going with this?

Customization:
I want these guys to fulfill many roles so I'm going to magnetize about half of the model's arms so I can trade out the TH/SS with a Storm Bolter and PF for another game. This is also my big plan for my HQ models.

HQ
I named my HQ after the Salamander books. Pyriel is a librarian in the series and Praetor is a Terminator Seargant. For these two models I'm going to use the Terminator Librarian frow GW since he's "Citadel Finecast" now and for Praetor I'm using Commander Culn from the Red Scorpions. I'll have to shave a small insignia off his chest but I think he'll work nicely. He's got a cool dynamic pose and he's got a mohawk! No contest. These guys will definetly be magnetized to allow for greater flexibility in later games.

Dreads and Land Raiders
The Land Raider is straight forward. It's a Crusader with a Multi Melta for My HQs to ride in. I'm planning on stringing some lizardmen heads along the side of it like trophies and I am going to "attempt" to green stuff some scales on the side.
For my two dreads I'm using a Venerable and an Ironclad. I didn't want to use the plain GW dread so I thought these would give me a better look. Luckily about a week after my FW order they came out with the Salamander dread so that's just wonderful. I'll just have to work with what I have for now. I found some cool dwarf shields that have a hammer and anvil or a hammer with wings on them. I'm going to put those on my dread's arms which should give them a little flavor.


So there's my idea. I'm using a count as army for Ard Boyz but I'm spending a lot of time (and money!) to really make it worth while. Let the hate begin below.

Chaos Legions?....Yes, Please.

The Chaos Legion rumor, even with no info, is the most exciting rumor for me in a while.  Chaos is by far my favorite army of 40k.  I started them in 3rd edition when they had the awesome codex with tons of options for specific Legions.  I liked them all, but Plague Marines were definitely my favorite.  I hope they make Chaos into at least 2 Codexes(I guess 3, if you include Daemons).  I mean why not, half of the legions defected, yet they only get 1 old Codex, while the mummy-worshipers get 6 codexes, half of which are less than 2 years old. This sucks and is the main reason why Chaos players have started building the dreaded "counts-as" armies.  

Regardless, I hope the rumor is true so Chaos players can rise once again.  I started this blog to catalog the building and painting of my Deathguard army, but lost interest because of all the new codexes getting tons of cool stuff, while we're left with a bland excuse for a codex.  While I think it is still semi-competitive, it's just not cool that we have less units in the whole book than some newer armies have HQ options.  I want to get back on my original project and finish painting the army I converted.  

Above and below are the only 2 models with paint from the 2,500 pts I built.  The top is a Champion with plastic powerfist(don't mind the banner pin, all the champions have removable banners to represent Icons).  All backpacks have been converted to either steel barrels or wooden drums.  You can see the whole army being built in the first couple months of this blogs existence to the right.  

Below are a couple shot of my Chaos army in its entirety.  Don't mind a few of the Space Marine models on the right that snuck into the family photo.  I have closeup shots of the units that I will post up next.  Most of these have been posted individually somewhere on here, but I'll put up again since it's been awhile for Chaos on here.  The most recent stuff added have been units built for use using SW or BA codex, like the Raptors for a pure DoA(R!) Nightlords army from BA 'dex and the Juggernauts for Wolf Lords from SW 'dex.

So, please rumors, be true.  I want more Chaos in my life.  I do like the idea of the main legions having their own book while the renegades(go Huron) have their own book as well.  I'm sure there will be crossover units that are in both books.  And with all the new huge plastic kits as of late, maybe both books will get a nice flying transport or something.  The possibilities are endless, so I can't even venture a guess as to what they will come up with, but I'm excited.  

I am hoping for new plastic Thousand Sons and Emperor's Children.  I do not have either of these units yet and would like to add them, but with new models instead of the hybrids.  New Berzerkers would be nice as those are looking dated compared to newer plastics.  

Oh, and plastic Obliterators and Dreadnoughts please, with tons of options.  Okay, I can do without the dreads as Forgeworld makes some beauties already.  

Oh, and plastic Raptor box, instead of the top-heavy ones from now.

Oh, and awesome rules so we can keep up the new guys.

Oh, and the first 300 pt HQ that beats face.  This should be fine, some of these guys have been around for 10,000 years, you really think they should die in a small battle.  

Okay, so wishlist aside, I do hope we get a couple of well-rounded codexes with rules that set them apart from other "normal" Space Marines.  Some new unit entries would be nice, and I think a must to add to existing and add flavor to the armies.  

How many of you guys are excited about this rumor?  Do you have a wishlist for your favorite army?
