Hi all,

Over the holidays, I found my Epic Armageddon and Epic 40k rulebooks, and started reading through them in the hopes of pulling out my old armies and trying to get them in play shape. While I found my Eldar and a lot of Orks, my Space Marine and Imperial Guard forces from yesteryear seem to have been lost over several moves. I spent an entire weekend searching for them with no luck.

That said, I would like to try and acquire a general Space Marine force, but it seems like eBay pricing is going to be prohibitive in this area. I noticed some proxy forces, but didn't really find anything that represented Space Marine infantry well. So I was wondering - What is the best way to try and acquire some general Space Marine infantry and vehicles other than donating a kidney to buy from eBay?

I'm interested in doing 30k era as well, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

some of the novan elites from this range work well for marines: http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product ... ulum-nova/

with ebay it will depend what you want. Old marine plastics should be cheap, new style landing craft will be expensive anywhere. Stick to auctions not buy it now prices, buy it now on ebay is silly money.

I'd recommend the trades section: http://www.taccmd.tacticalwargames.net/ ... m.php?f=58 as many taccomers will have spare marine bits

These do make good proxies as Apoc has stated but I would say that wouldn't I as I sell them.

Anyway a few pics of my 30k guys, world eaters assault and iron warriors tacticals.

if youre on facebook try one of the specialist games trades groups the one I frequent is very friendly and you can get your hands on things for a lot cheaper than e-bay
