The Island of Blood

Is anyone interested in splitting an Island of blood box set?

This is a post for those who want to join together and buy a set ...

Is anyone interersted in the extra rule book ... templates ... dice?

I'm thinking about getting some of the mini's. I don't need the other stuff. What are you looking for, what do you want to trade?

For myself I am thinking of making a skaven army - I noticed they are not too popular so why not give them a go.

The only thing is I need to buy a few games to get a good size force (points wise) so I was thinking of buying 3 base sets.

Skaven is what I was thinking of. I don't know that I'd be suepr interested in the high elves, but I might buy some ofthe character mini's from the Skaven (If you don't want all those extra lords!) and maybe a unit of the sowrdmasters to try them out painting wise. If that helps, and you're interested LMK. Also a price!

The den has them in stock already, I picked one up today. I'm splitting it with my cousin who plays skaven. I might be interested in some of your high elf rank and file models like the sea guard and swordmasters.

I'm looking for both the seaguard and swordmaster figs

I think those are going to be a hot commodity, its too bad there are only 10 of each including command in the box, that means even if you get 2 boxes you can only make a unit of 17 without converting the command models (which is tough because they are all one or two-piece models). I think we can expect a lot of griffon-riders and mages up for sale on e-bay with everyone trying to get the swordmasters and sea guard by buying multiple boxes.

I don't really know who would buy the griffon, it looks terrible!

Are you kidding? I love it! It is a whole lot better than the old griffon model the high elves had, thats for sure. I'm not a huge fan of how they painted it but the model is just so dynamic. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder though and it isn't for everyone.

I also like how all the models snap together without glue, I wonder if that is how GW is going to make plastics from now on. I'll probably still glue them but it is pretty impressive and makes assembling them really quick and easy.

Ok - I went and got my first set yesterday from the Den and have decided to take the plunge. I am going back to buy 5-6 more boxes today to fill those ranks of skaven out to full force - I can't wait to see them getting swatted around like flies

In any case that leaves me with ... well a boat load of High elves on the sprues ....

I am looking for $50 per box set for them / they price out new via GW at the following prices for your concideration

- Mage = 16
- Prince = Lets be honests who really cares - but lets say 20 on the conservative side
- Sea Guard = 21 (half unit) - but stuck with those command
- Swordmasters = 60 (again stuck with command - and these are plastic ...)
- Reavers = 14.75 Each!!! ouchie ... 75 right there ....

so for a total of $192 new on their own you can get them together for $50 ...

I am also selling the extra Rule Book, templates, dice for each set for $20 each ...

I am going to need to get my money back soon on these extra units so I thnk I will be taking them to Calgary to put on Kijiji for a while - then e-bay soooo you have 2 weeks to decide what you want to do ...

If you wanted to buy a bunch of the "sets" I would concider selling them for less than the $50 - say $40 each set ... but that would need to be for a good number of them ... as I will be paying of the Visa for a long time now

I'll take one of those sets of high elves for 50 bucks.

I think I'll take one too, let me get back to you though. I definitely want one of those small rulebooks though.
