So, here we go. Long story short, I'm selling out, and I've detailed the reasons in this thread. Before I present the deal, some quick rules and thoughts:

- For further details on the army and their progress, if you really want to go in-depth, check out my Warseer army log. I linked warseer because it was the first and most detailed log, while the one in this forum is a little more cropped. If you still have questions, feel free to PM me, I check my inbox multiple times a day.

- International bidders welcome, but I have to insist on PayPal as the payment method. If you're from Germany, I accept money orders, too. I'll do my best to give them the best and safest packaging I can provide, but please be aware that I can only ship 2-4 days after recieving the money, because I have to transfer it to my bank account first in order to be able to pay for the shipping. Also, I can only find out how expensive that'll be as soon as I know where to ship to, but as we're not exactly talking about peanuts here, I hope that potential buyers won't be afraid of spending those few bucks.

- I'd very much prefer to sell the whole deal to one single PH enthusiast, and I don't really intend to split it all up, so please don't ask for individual models. One exception is noted below.

- IMPORTANT: I'm a smoker. Some people say you can tell from my minis, some say they're fine (yeah, even non-smokers). There are different levels of sensibility towards that, so please be aware.

- So, how much is it? I honestly still don't know, and I can only hope you understand my position on that. I've never sold out large amouts of painted and converted work before- and this army basically completely consists of heavily converted and painted models. Over more than 2 years, I've put countless hours of work into it all, and used various sources for the parts, from friend's bits boxes to ebay acquisitions and trade to just plain old buying boxes. Really, it's not arrogance, I'm simply f-ing clueless about this kind of business.

So, just send me PMs with your offers, and I'll try to work with that. This will most likely take some days, so you'll have to be patient with me, and trust my hobbyist's honor that I don't tell you crap about what the current highest bid is.

Yeah, that sounds kinda wonky, but it's the best idea I have (mostly because I'm heavily sentimental about this stuff), so talk to me, people. I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out.

Overview of the painted units of the army:

Please note that this (bad, flashy) picture only represents the painted elements you'll get. The following lists gives you seperate shots of all the units, and detail the state they are in. Don't miss to have a look at the picture links.

10 man Assault Squad:

http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.p...chmentid=53517&

Those are from the early phase of the project, so no grey shading on the white, but a good overall tabletop paintjob. The sergeant won a painting competition on the precursor forum of this very board, and is a piece of work I'm still proud of. Please note that there's a plasma gunner in there which can be exchanged with a CCW/BP Marine from the unpainted tactical combat squad entry below.

Rhino 1:

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i.../Rhino1_fin.jpg

Converted Rhino with loads of extra stuff, a not-quite-perfectly-clean-white, nice weathering, movable hatch. Still quite proud of this one.

8 converted plastic Scouts + 1 Metal Shuriken Scout

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i...ished_front.jpg

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i...nished_back.jpg

All of these scouts (except for one) are made of ages old Advanced Space Crusade plastics and have been converted with loads of extra bits, before getting a really detailed paintjob (the white alone is 5 layers)- I'd say that they're painted as good as I'm currently able to. There's also one old RT metal scout with a shuriken catapult on that pic.

5 original RT era metal scouts

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i...metalscouts.jpg

From an earlier stage of the project, so it's a simpler white, but they're nice anyway, and real collector's items.

5 painted Tactical Marines

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i...s2_finished.jpg

The first combat squad, including the heavily rescuplted sergeant in MK2 armor. Painted the same way as the first 9 scouts, so a lot of work went into these, even besides the obvious conversions.

The Dreadnaught

Definitly the most spectacular piece of the army, this heavily converted dread is a real eye-catcher. I could bore you with a retelling of the whole history of this model, but if you care, look it up in my log- or just enjoy the pretty picture. ;)

Unpainted elements:

5 more Tactical Marines

http://s611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i...urrent=tac2.jpg

They're converted, they're primed, some of them have a little bit of badab black wash on them. Note that the one with the CCW was intended to join the Assault Squad in exchange for the plasma gunner.

Rhino 2

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/rhino2.jpg

Very similar to the painted Rhino 1. The dozer blade with WE iconography, the rails, it's all there. Primed white (a little bit thick in some places- the back hatch for example, but not worse than Rhino 1, and that turned out great), with a splash of Asurmen Blue Wash on one side.

5 Iron Halo Space Marine Jetbike conversion kits

http://s611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i...ent=jetbike.jpg

http://s611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/i...nt=jetbikes.jpg

Those are intended to be either used with Space Marine bike kits, or with some heavy plasticard scratchbuilding for the missing elements. They're from Iron Halo, and the guy who did them had once posted some pictures of the completed models, but I can't find them. Note that a single fin is missing from one of the kits. As I plan no further PH projects in the future, they're part of the package.


5 PH Terminators

Those are the only exception of my "complete deal" philosophy, because they're rough. Don't get me wrong, I love them, and if you share my taste, you'll love them too. But they're from an early stage of the project and would have needed some cleaning up, a little bit of resculpting, and either more detail bits or good freehands. So I understand if you don't want to buy them with the deal, and I wanted to explain that before anyone goes all "ithmaril sold me completely unfinished crap". The two pics above are their current state: Please not that the sergeant's power axe got lost in the warp. If you want more detailed pics, their WIP history starts at the bottom of this warseer thread page and continues on the next one:

http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104286&page=3

I'd love to get them sold with the rest to a new owner who gives them the final touch-ups, but I don't insist on that.

... And that's it.

Cheers and take care,
Ithmaril
