Hi all,

Can anyone tell me where to get hold of spare bits that I can use for conversions.  I thought about eBay but can't find any suitable amount of bits and pieces.  Are there any specific websites where you can order individual bits and pieces? e.g. weapons.

Alternately can some one point me in the direction of good alternates..

I know this is wide ranging but I'm hoping to find something inspirational so i can convert stuff...  :D

I don't think you'll find anyone with Epic bits except for eBay or Bartertown, but for 40K bits, here's an excellent source:

What are you converting and what kinds of bits do you need?

I've found that 40K infantry weapons and Epic war engine weapons are often close enough in size to convert with little trouble.

What are you looking for?  My bitz box is limited, but I can poke around in it and see what turns up.

Thanks for the offer. I do not imagine these are things that are just in a bits box right now.

He had listed:
1: Tau NEW Plastic XV25 Stealth Suit x1

I thought to buy just one and see how it would work as a walker for 15mm. I like the overall look, but this way I could have tried just one first. Sad to say he has it Out of Stock.

2: Rippers

I thought it might be cool to pick up some more of these to add to the swarm I just got.  :;):  They make nice 15mm monster Aliens. But he is out for now.

Both can wait for now anyway.

Yeah, can't help you out there, Dafrca.  But what about this for a 15mm walker:

http://www.thewarstore.com/product4364.html

Might be worth a look-see.

Yes, I looked at that one. One of my on-line friends has one on order and will be doing some pictures next to his troops for us to see.  :D

It is a nice looking mini.

Ohhh. I was looking for that at Salute but there was no-one there who had any! I would really like to see pictures of this guy. The entire line is really nice (and was one force that I bought Defiance: Vital Ground for).

...Try TENOFF keyword for a 10% rebate. It worked when I ordered from them some weeks ago.

Thanks Kotrin might well try that.

Found a nice little selection of weapons from a page that was pointed out a couple days back.

CAV weapons link

There are three sets of these that would look great for conversions.

Thanks Again.
