Happy Sunday all
HAPPY SUNDAY!!! ‘morning to you @tresilliian ! It takes a long time for me to get rid of _anything_. It’ll sit off to the side as a bitz box volunteer for ages, then it’ll sort of “just be there” for a while until I decide that I won’t ever use it again. That usually happens after my friends stop playing it. I also don’t have the ambition to deal with fleabay,dealing with the website, the bidders, the shipping, urgh!! Once I do start packing things up, more and more things go into boxes and the purging commences. I dump it… Read more »
Dumping at your local store can be a good idea for moving things on
happy sunday everyone,
Saturday I picked up my Nord Star box at the post office.
and today I can tinker with stargrave figures.???
?? ? the bird now thinks that he R2D2, BB8 and C1-10P (chopper) sound rolled into each other like 1 droid.
More 15mm! This is going to be a fiscally challenging week!
15mm is very alluring!
Happy Sunday!
It’s not necessarily the minis I need to get rid of, it’s all the paraphernalia that goes with them. It’s certainly been about 10 years since I did anything GW, so even if I don’t chuck the models I probably will not need the 2 editions out-of-date army books and drawers full of clipped sprues!
Been without a car for a few months (not been needing one) but am getting one this Thursday. The dump is one of those exotic places I have on my list to go first.
The hobby does produce a lot of tat!
If someone has the skills, taking the Skyclad box and swapping all the heads to Justin’s…
With you Gerry…never give in to the urge to sell minis, maybe pay it forward to the new generation. I still have armies from old hammer back in the 80’s
A proper treasure trove!
Thank you for the Golden Button! Well done to the other projects chosen, lovely work!
Happy Sunday! Dumping an army is never an easy decision for me. I have done it – in fact, I’ve dumped entire game systems. I sold EVERYTHING for 40K when they screwed the rules and codices for the umpteenth time (and I’ve not regretted it since), I’m currently selling all my Adeptus Titanicus and ditching that game because I’m sick of needing 18 books to cover all the rules that may or may not be used in a game (see the CoG trading Bazaar), I ditched Flames of War when most of the things I owned became redundant, I ditched… Read more »
Seems a sensible approach!
Also – you want trees? Did you see my Trees project? (https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1623773/) It could be done more quickly if anyone else did it – but I am a super slow painter, and I need to be in the right frame of mind to paint anything!
Trees you say…? *heads to project immediately*
Ooh the XLBS show? one of the PPGs is quake from agents of shields guy’s
Phased Plasma Gun?
Lol powder puff girls.
Gerry is The pied piper of Warcraft?
Free is getting the Shiny Shiny virus?
Space chopham Kevlar Ben.
This week on the XLBS Justin gets cancelled
Happy Su… 00:00 Duke Nukem? 50 shades of grey? WHAT?! 02:45 “Have you played yet?” Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude! Pandemic and such? 😉 03:10 “Powerpuffgirls of AoS” …. oh god… that reminds me of that furry/40k crossover video…. my eyes. 08:40 Saaagaaaa 14:10 I’m sure @avernos had someone come in to take the pictures. 16:45 Bikes… that can go everywhere! Who would have thought! XD 21:45 No Orks? What’s with every sci fi game not fielding orks!? 24:00 non D6 scare children…. not completely wrong there 50:30 Here be draggin’ people to the bright evil daystar… 59:00 Mötley Crüe! 1:03:00 Stand and deliver.… Read more »
Happy Sunday.
I’ve gotten rid of quite a lot of stuff over the years, and I do regret some of it, particularly as nostalgia creeps in. My most recent clear out involved around 150 metal citadel ghouls from my old Vampire Counts army. I’ve kept around 12 of them to use for Frostgrave and (a very big) if we ever play Warhammer again I can always get a box or two of some much nicer looking plastic ghouls from either Mantic or GW.
A fabulous funny show guy’s?
I regularly will have a purge and get rid of stuff I’ll never paint or play. In the past when I stopped playing 40k I sold both of Space Marine armies, 4000 pts Blood Angels and a similar size of Dark Angels. The money I received from selling both of those funded new projects. I had collected a ton of Rackham miniatures and sold those to fund some new camera lenses. I think if you get to a point where your not using an army and the lijely hood is that you’ll never use it, then it’s time to sell… Read more »
Good topic this week. I have an annual clear out when I have some time to get stuff on fleabay during the summer. I also have a runing catalogue of projects that I’m working on which gets an annual review. This allows me to track my interest and if something has been on this list for years and is no nearer getting to the part of the list that gets finished every year then in is on the endangered list and eventually it will be culled. Money made goes back into the hobby. My 3D printer last year was funded… Read more »
I live in an apartment so space becomes an issue and I’ve got to purge games every now and then. Here in the States we have a company called Noble Knight games. You email them your list and they give you cash or store credit offer. I always go for store credit you get more. I usually use it for out of print games or miniatures because they have a huge selection.
Happy Sunday! 😀 Really ejoying the shows these days. Good hobby banter while i paint 🙂
I dislike players forums as they (majority) try to change the game into a GW game.
And then I said I would never listen to 50 shades of grey. …
Happy Sunday,
TIME FOR THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE
The one and only way of getting near 50 Shades of Grey is to hear in your head the narration of all the intensely involved scenes as done by Janine Garofalo (in her drab monotone), Gilbert Gottfried (in all his exciting vocal range.. think Iago from Aladdin) or Morgan Friedman (atleast done by the comedian who does a mean impression). Gerry has his work cut out for him. I can however consider his lurid description of how strangers met over the casual roll of a d20, their eyes meeting and the ensuing cries of “Roll to hit, baby!” that rang… Read more »
HAPPY SUNDAY, well now on the subject of getting rid of stuff my train of thought is just if i ain’t going to play with it anymore it just goes, i sell or give to the charity shop, except for my Lord of The LCG collection that will be buried with me. But i do like collecting rule books why i haven’t a clue!
