HAHAHAHA! I just sold 4 of those plus weapons to Dwarf Supreme for $10.
Either I gave my boy a smokin' deal or this guy is way out of market. I can't wait to find out which one it is.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-19....iewItem Of course, the Buy-It-Now price is only $185. I'd love to have some unassembled Titans, but this seems a wee bit steep to me. Is it me, or are there a whole lot more "optimistic" prices out there than there used to be? Seems like Epic is worth its weight in gold, judging by some of the eBay prices one sees. |

This seller is highly optimistic. I wouldn't pay more than $40 for seven mint Warlords, weapons and VS wheels. The deal with Moscovian I think was fair for both of us, especially since the weapons that were included were only 2 (3?) power fists, 1 or 2 vortex missiles and a few banner poles. Also, the Wralords were already painted (which I'll need to strip) and the heads were glued in place. |

4x Painted and glued Warlords for $10 is about fair, because stripping and painting glued together warlords is a flaming pain in the rump. I have bought, sold, and traded a huge pile of Imperial titans on Bartertown. The painted stuff gets very little in return on deals, but the mint condition Warlords can get $20 a piece without much trouble. I have sold about a dozen plastic Warlords in mint condition for about $20 a piece on Bartertown. The Ebay seller linked at the top of this thread is asking a fairly reasonable, maybe a smidge high, price for those Warlords. What is unreasonable about that auction is the number of Warlords he wants you to buy - 7. Nobody needs 7 Warlords anymore. If Epic were still structured like it was with SM/TL where you have 3 titan battlegroups running around (ah, those were the days...) then 7 Warlords is not unreasonable. But since Epic: Armageddon is the current rules set, where you are lucky to see 1 Warlord, let alone 3 in a game, and with the "latest and greatest" mentality that pervades GW stuff, buying 7 Warlords is lunacy. If I did Ebay and I had the money in my Paypal I would consider buying those Warlords at the starting price, but not much higher. I'd then turn around and sell them individually on Bartertown for $20 a piece. |

Soak 'em in pinesoap, use steam cleaner. Paint flies off. I bought half a dozen of painted warlords last spring and stripped paint fast(biggest problem was finding suitably big container. Old paint stripper container I had wasn't designed for as high models but rather FB/40k infantry). Could have done it faster but I mistook the black from one warlord for suprisingly hard to remove paint when it was infact the colour of plastic itself :whoops:. Got to hate coloured plastics!  But 7 for 100$. Hah! After you have bought 6 unassembled and unpainted for around 30? you laugh at that price. |

Not if you play AMTL and want to have a choice of different armed Warlords. |
