I made some huts and some towers from take out containers, popsicle sticks, paper towels, school glue, and leftover bits for my Mordheim board!

Today is a little different, I want to talk about the secondary market. Because some friends of mine on discord were astonished at how much my empire units new in box cost and I want to elaborate more on making the best use of kits. Consider this part two of hobbying while being cheap and neurodivergent.
You should have a healthy bits box at all times. You can have several of them. There are a lot of eBay listings for just piles of bits and unfinished minis that you can use to make bespoke Warhammer minis out of just spare parts from multiple kits. Kitbashing is not a revelation, it even predates wargames as it’s a carry over from model railroad hobbyists. But you should buy listings of random bits because you can get some fantastic parts from kits you weren’t thinking of getting for incredible prices.
The re release of these old Warhammer kits comes with a lot of great bits for conversions, I think they really are worth more than people are thinking they are!
The main thing I want to talk about though is how to exploit the chud cycle to maximize your hobby hauls. I won’t get super political in this post because it’s not really what it’s about. But there is a cycle where really negative dudes get into the hobby through a video game like space marine 2 or a lore channel and buy a lot of minis. Then they get upset about how modern games workshop, a multi billion dollar company, has gone woke or whatever. Then they go farther back into earlier editions to try to escape whatever it is they don’t like, only to find that the satire is stronger the farther back they go. A lot of these guys putt around for a while and then give up and sell their armies for really cheap on eBay and Facebook marketplace. A lot of them are willing to haggle.
That isn’t political, it’s economical.
Neither is the satisfaction I get when these guys tell me I don’t belong in the hobby and I show them my armies I’ve painted over almost 30 years.
Take advantage of the deals!
Yeah basically 😂
Every now and then the bow variant of them is great for harassing dwarfs that can’t charge them and only dwarfs that can’t charge them 😂
15 horrible shitheads and their dogs. their job is to kill war machine crews, be cheap, and die
The Witchfate Tor! I painted this a long time ago around whenever it came out. It’s due for some touch ups! The “statues” are game pieces from a TSR Hobbies board game called “Dragonstrike” that I bought at a surplus store called Ax Man. Back then I was a smoker with a Redbull habit. Nothing some steady dry brushing and spot detailing couldn’t fix!
I also have the ruined version, the Dreadstone Blight, and another tower whose name escapes me. Not the Deathknell Watch, the other one with the asymmetrical construction that could double as an observatory. Let me know if you know the name!
The finished mammoth is so good!!
