Hi guys. I have the opportunity to pick up some Space Marine models, as described below:
3 x Blisters of Imperial Baneblades 2nd edition 2 x Blisters of Imperial Manticore 2nd edition (3 per pack)
Since my SM days were a long time ago, can someone comment on the detail of the old SM models compared to newer stuff, and roughly what I should be paying for them?

Hi!
They are generally less detailed than newer models. That being said they offer a wonder contrast in your army when combined with newer stuff.
Pick them up cheap if you can.

Is ~$40US cheap for 3 baneblades and 3 packs of medusae?

If you are getting all those at that price it is a good deal. They'd be much more expensive from G/W if they were still available, but I don't see them in the listings.

Hi!
40 dollars?!
Get them NOW and dont look suspicious either, that a good deal. That was approximately 75 dollars in its day, almost 50% off.
Good deal.

whoops, it was actually only 2 packs of manticores that I got, not the 3 that I mentioned halfway down the page (damn, no full artillery company for me!)
But yeah, $61AUD for the lot, including shipping.

I'm thinking along the lines of eBay perhaps?
If it is another source, I bet I know someone who would like to know about it (*cough* Primarch *cough* )
Cheers
Chris

Hi!
Actually Chirs, I almost NEVER buy from e-bay, too expensive. I have found that contacting old epic gamers who have given up the game much, much cheaper. Also I have clean out whole stores with epic stuff in their bargain bins and even if they are not I make offers to take the stock of their hands for a very good price for me (I know what the price the retailer bought for, being an ex-retailer, so I offer a price where I know they are not losing money, simple!).

To give some background, I'm editor of the unofficial Blood Bowl fanzine House Rulez. In a few months time I'm going to go to GW HQ at Lenton and interview him about Blood Bowl, as well as speak to the rest of the Fanatic people. Although the vast majority of my time will be spent discussing BB, it'd be rude not to talk about his latest baby (aka Epic )
What I'd like is a list of questions you'd like me to put to him, assuming I get the time. Questions like "why wont you release Tau in 2005 ??" will be ignored - GW's release schedule & policy is clear, so more useful questions only please
The online Blood Bowl community doesn't even know abuot this yet, as it isn't announced until February, so if any of you reading this also frequent the BB sites then I'd appreciate some discretion before I make my announcement
So what are your burning questions for the big man himself? I appreciate he does frequent the GW forums a lot, but there must be things you want answers for... (doesn't have to be Epic but it'd help)

What his impressions where of the playtesting of Epic: A. Postive, negative, what could have been different. Will it be a model used for all specialist games.

...and the usual questions of what goodies he can reveal of planned models: Capitol Imperialis, Hellbore, Mars pattern Warlords (insert desired model here).
More seriously: Perhaps elaborate on his thoughts on the proposed Adeptus Titanicus III and Air War games?
Cheers!

What varient Space Marine and Imperial Guard lists do you have planned, and what new models will be released to accompany them?
Are there still plans to make a "non-tounament" Squat list for older players to use for fun?
Do you see Epic returning to it's former place of glory in the top three GW games?
Just some random thoughts
Cheers
Chris
