before i start , I know this is a wasted gesture and I am merely whistling in the wind. I am looking for a small number of OOP grey IG infantry sprues from the SM release. I have to admit to my shame that i prefer them to the E40K IG sprues. Ok it may be heresy but that's the way the cooky crumbles. SOOOooo if any hoarders out there have 3 or 4 sprues they may wish to part with please mail me on thoughtpolice@terra.es

direct payment or trade is negotiable.

thanks in forlorn hope

Bob,

I actually have a few of the old Codex Grey sprues if you are interested in trading. PM me.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Okay, have I done something to piss everyone off?  ???

I posted a couple months ago that I was looking of Codex Grey IG infantry, and I've stated that again, at least twice in the meantime.  Every time it comes up, by the time I see the thread, the deal is done.  This is at least the third, plus dafrca posted a bunch of IG on eBay without letting anyone know.

If there are any sprues out there floating around, I am interested.  Please let me know:

neal.e.hunt@teamstatestreet.com

Pretty please? :{
With sugar on top?

Sorry!  :D

I am really hoarding mine since I'm using them at a prodigeous rate. I'm not looking to sell any for currency, but to trade for hard-to-get items like the biker with the chainsword, metal infantry, the Recovery Leman Russ, or other OOP items that were never released or are otherwise unavailable.

I must not have noticed your threads before. Feel free to PM or E-mail me and we'll work out something... most likely!  :angry: It's hard to part me with my minis unlesss I feel a bond of camaradery to you, of course!  :)

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Neal,

Let me point out a few things:

1) I have offered my personal items here. When I can I will continue. Saves me between .75 and $2 each time I do.

2) To cover the cost of my hobby, I sell off collections for people *through* ebay. I do not always have the ability to sell these things through a venue such as this forum. It is only luck I received this large collection of Epic. Allowed me to sell what I am interested in. Sometimes I sell modern armour, WWII 15mm, Sci-Fi 28mm etc.

3) All of the IG items on ebay are still going with no bids. The person wanted $15 for the troops; I talked him into posting all of the auctions at the same starting bid. So far No One has thought they were worth the $6 starting bid.

4) I am not stopping you from placing a bid. Go bid the $6 and you could win and pay less then he would have asked me to charge you anyway.

5) No trades allowed for a lot of this stuff. I would have to buy from the owner and then trade. I can?t afford me right now let alone trying to buy for the rest of you.

6) I spelled Neal right. :-)

Please do not turn this into a no one likes Neal thing. We post in a public place and try as we might it does not always work out.

Hi!

Chubbybob, I prefer the old codex grey too, so your not the only one.

Seriously though, I dont think there is anything "going on" against anyone. Remember a lot of "trading" goes on offlist and by PM, so you may only "see" the final deal on a post, but actual negociations, trades and offers are also made off the forum.

Bob,

I only use the older troops in my IG army. I do not even own any of the "newer" plastic guard in my own collection.

There is no shame in having a favorite :-)

I use both type sprues in my IG forces, but mostly "Old Guard" from my SM1 days.  I like the different units working together like Allies do in most western armies in many wars of this (and last) century.  However of my 6 IG Regts, none have Old Guard, Cats & Vals in the same Regt. I am working on my E-A IG Regt. and that may have Bns of each.  Like an Allied Task Force, like NATO has and is expanding in Europe.   Of course that will depend on what G/W releases for E-A, and so far Jervis is playing that "close -to-the-chest" ... so far ... :blues:

That is true Legion, once I see what is new for EpicA I might have more then the original IG troops in my Guard Army.

OK buddy- you know I am an Orbat freak too and such comments constitute teasing :;):

What orgs are you using then?

I have to go to work (yes, even on Saturday :( ), but I use the SM1 TO&Es. I can go into more detail later if you want. LMK ... :D

I've played Valhallans in 40K since their release, but have only recently started to switch over my Epic army to reflect this. Consequently I have 7 or 8 companies' worth of the grey/codex/Necromundan infantry that will shortly go begging. I'm new here so I'm not too sure on the protocol of trades, but feel free to PM me if you're interested in a more specific breakdown of what's available.

Cash is always nice, but any E40K IG or Eldar metal will make welcome swaps.

Thanks for the heads up but I had already seen these. Apart from the cost of postage etc. (I live in NE Spain) the figs are painted. As of yet I have been singularly unsuccesful in finding a decent cleaner here that will remove the paint without destroying the plastic. Yes I have seen all the paint removal techniques but most involve products readily available in the US and I cannot as yet find a Spanish equivalent. So to make my search even more difficult the figs I am looking for have to be virginal. Hopefully I can work something out with Maksim .. BTW did you get the mail I sent you. Not sure if the name I used for the tunneler is correct , I called it a mole but it's the BIG one with the flat bed transporter. I need the IG for a special I am doing. I normally use a mix of GZG and epic for Imperial troops.

(I play DSII using epic figures heavily spiced with GZG stuff but am being seduced by E-A it has a lot of things in common)
