Warhammer 40k'ers, how much is too much?

[Chojin Man]

ya it looks like fun. I unfortunatly don't have piles of cash to set fire too Maybey I could make some ghetto figures out of paper or something lol. I looked on the warhammer site and some of those figures are like 30+ per figure! and you need like 40-50 figures, plus paint, and crafting supplies!! I thought paintball was expensive!

$20 for 10 marines or 20 imperial guardsmen... pewter figures are going for more though

I just cut out cardboard to the dementions of the bases when i was testing a codex(rulebook) a friend and me constructed

My friend paints warhammer gusy (although Im not into it), he is very good at it. His guys look damn realistic. As good as or better than those guys ^. He made quite a bit of money selling them on ebay.

Aye, it's a profitable business. I paint friend's models for cash.

So how much can you sell a good painted one for?

I painted my friend's Deamon Prince for $25.

It really depends on how good you are.

My friend sells a good set (3-8) guys for $200-500 I believe. He is very good.

You can get $60+ a mini if you are good.

"You can get $60+ a mini if you are good"

holy cow I should start selling these things on ebay or something

[edweird]

we already do... my buddy and I work together and do custom work... Id show you pics but evry thing we have pics of painted is in posession of my friend and I just take cash per conversion depending on sprew and complexity

ie
"I want this guy to have 2x powerfists" 5-10 depending on model

"I want this character to have cool spell effects comming out his hand... and a custom backpack with organ pipes,,, and um an awesome base with some dead ppls and some hot deamonette chicks doing the nasty on the base" I take visa and mastercard :P

No lie, both are kind of on the expensive side.

Well cleared out a bunch of old stuff yesterday ... if any of you are in the STL area and what to get into Warhammer, here is a quick break down of what I have left. I will trade it all for a nice Automag setup or sell out right for $300.00 ...

I'm beginning to understand why you never see to monay large Imperial guard armies... There are so many modles to paint. 25 at least in a standard troop choce. I'm doing at least two 35 model troop choices.

I've got a friend that plays generic Imp. Guard. He's got 100+ troops on the table. It's hilarious
