With the end so close in sight, I went through my bits boxes over the weekend to catalogue what’s there that’s worth thinking of a model, what I want to keep, and what I want to sell or give away. There’s not much here. Some of it I might try to sell on eBay, but the rest I’ll probably end up giving away, probably through the discord swap channel. If there’s anything here you’re super keen on, maybe it fills a hole in a force you’ve been trying to finish for years, speak up.

Goblin Wolf Chariot: The gobber with the sword is missing, otherwise it's all here. No idea what it could be used for these days, beyond 9th age. Is there a direct parallel in KoW? I think this is heading to eBay. I'm following one now to see what it sells for.

A couple of Z'zor guards for Dreadball. I already have a full allotment of these so they're spare. I'm considering sticking them on round bases and painting them green and using them for monsters for Stargare, D&D and such like, but I can always use my painted team for that. I might just give these away.

10 Players and 2 balls for Dreadball Convicts team. I already have the maximum allowed for each roll on a team so this is spare. I might try them on ebay, but I think they may end up being given away in the end.

Spare random minis. See below

Spare random minis, top left to bottom right: Genestealer, Cryx Satyxis Blood Witch, Skink with flute??, Skaven, Resin Abbadon the Despoiler 2019 body, Elf

I do have a tyranid force, but no Genestealer. A single model is of no use so he sits in my bits box until more turn up. I don’t like playing 40k, so that may never happen.

The Satyxis was a spare from a unit I built. She needs a horn, and 9 friends. Free to whoever wants her, or she lives in my bits box forever.

Is this skink anything, or a grunt from a large unit? Is that a flute, or a weapon with its head broken off? No use to me. I can’t even think of an obvious D&D parallel he could be painted up as.

Random Skaven, or not? Useless to me.

I’ve had this Abbadon body for ages and he feels like a huge waste. I know it’s only 1 part of 6ish, but it feels like most of the model and I’d like to see him rebuilt. If you have the other parts and want the body you can have him. Likewise if you have the parts and don’t care, I’d be grateful for the donation. I’ve no use for him. It just feels like a waste.

The (high?) elf is a grunt with a broken sword. He came with a supply of mostly 40k spare bits, but the blade may be amongst them, or perhaps a replacement? Not sure. He’s junk right now. I might fix him up and put him on a round base, and he’ll be ok for D&D or Frostgrave or something. I’ve considered mounting him on a bottle top and painting him up as a ruined bronze statue.

Update 14/9/22: He’s a High Elf of Lothern Sea Guard Champion. The Skink is just a grunt and thats a blowdart pipe, not a flute. The skaven is a Skaven Clanrat Drummer Command

Mantic Marauders Orx Command Sprue x2 & 3 Walking Dead minis

I figure I can get a Painboy proxy or two out of these, and do something with the other guy? I’m open to ideas for him. I do have the TWD starter set, but not the rules that came with these minis. I might paint them up and add them to the box for the day I give it a go solo, but if anyone needs them I’m open to posting them out.
