    Take telion if your going to buy scout snipers, hes worth the 50 points PLUS he calls his own shots. As for painting ill link you to a friend of mine on SA forums who does pay for models and his work is steller
    Thats his running tally and his works that he has finished altmann. Put it this way, when he lived here he was teaching me how to paint and every time i finsihed something hed have something that i would go "god damnit i hate you"

    Just FYI I will now be accepting lot requests on the Imperial Guard. For those of you that contacted me about individual units I will be contacting you today, but I will now break that up into lots. Any sized lots will be considered, larger the lot the deeper the discount I go.



    For example:

    $450 and you could have

    Nax ive had good success with telion and a HB with hellfire shells, if its more cost effective to hit a bunch of guys then you can give the HB telions BS of 6 so your scatter is minimal.

    He does whole armies, if you look on that post he gives ageneral structure. His prices are pretty good for the work he does, if you get something in omega you really get what you pay for, scan that link all of those are finished products.

    Hmmm decision time. The Sergeants in the Elysian infantry squads don't have laspistols, they have lasguns with under slung grenade launchers. Do I figure out a way to convert them to have pistols, or do I just leave them with their lasguns and paint them very noticeably as sergeants?

    Paint them noticeably, or just slap a holster on them somewhere. When the models GW provides don't conform to what they state basic equipment is, I don't really see why you need to go the extra mile to make them fit exactly to standards.

    Anyone know how much decently painted Space Hulk sets are going for? I still haven't started painting up my 'ebay' set yet, wondering if I should bother trying to (eventually) sell it or just give it to a friend for his birthday.

    Holy shit

    Auction 1 - $550

    Auction 2
    - $800

    Do these sets actually sell at these prices? If so, I need to get painting....

    -edit-

    Jesus Christ they do. I found two completed sales from the same guy as the second listing there, and both sold for just under $900 with 8-11 bids.

    I'm also seeing plenty of individual terminators going for $30-$100 each.

    Daaamn

    I third that, besides what self respecting sargent drops into enemy territory without a rifle. It makes more fluff sense for them to be equiped for the long haul.

    Looking over ebay, apparently there are a lot more stupid people out there than I thought. Seriously, how brain damaged to do you to say, 'I can spend $100 on one figure, or $100 on the whole set. Hmmm...'

    Yeah, I've got to get painting my sets. My store still has a a handful of copies, so if I can get one of these sets painted and sold for a fraction of what this guy is getting for them, I'll pick up another one or two and get painting.

    maaan.

    Actually it's not most 'nid infantry, it's just hormagaunts. Hormagaunts are beasts, and IIRC, beasts don't go up stairs, or something. It's in the BRB somewhere.

    Nothing in the Beast & Cavalry section states this. In fact, after explaining how they move 12" and double distance rolled through terrain, it says:

    "Otherwise, they assault just like infantry"

    if Walkers can move up levels in a building, I don't see any reasons why dudes on horses, attack dogs, and crazy attack aliens can't

    Because the rules say they can't. Look in the terrain section about buildings and moving up levels. It's around there somewhere iirc. Also tells you that sorry, no, bikes can't climb to the upper floors of ruins either.
