Selling off my Necrons

This past week, I did something I didn't think I'd do (at least until I was forced to abandon the hobby due to real life); I sold some of my minis!

Well, not really. I mean, it was only my Necrons.


The majority of my Necron collection I'd acquire early in my return to the hobby when I had bought the 9th edition starter set, while the last of them (my Deathmarks) were picked up a few months later from an issue of the imperium magazine.


The thing was, beyond painting, I didn't really use them, finding myself prefering my Space Marines and Sisters of Battle. Also with the exception of my Deathmarks, I never really felt my painting skills were all that good on them (which makes sense, given they were an early paint job).


I'm truth, it wasn't until recently that I'd even considered selling them, as I wasn't quite sure how to do that. However, I recently learned of this website called Miniswap, where people could seemingly buy and sell Warhammer.

I was a little unnerved by the whole process, fearing that I'd mess it up somehow. However, by simply photoing the minis before wrapping them up, boxing them and entering all those details (including box dimensions and weight) into the site, it turned out to be a lot easier than I expected.


As of right now, I've sent them off and awaiting to hear that they've arrived at their destination. I won't lie, it could still all go wrong (the eternal pessimist), but if it doesn't then, I'm glad to have an option to curtail my collection of minis should I need to.

10. Completing my Tactical Squad (Recess Shading & Highlighting)

Image
When I took up this hobby nearly two years ago, the first full set I bought was the Space Marine Tactical Squad. Since then, my building and painting of the miniatures has been somewhat piecemeal. While I immediately built and painted all ten at the time, the paint scheme I used was a little more original as I had planned to create my own custom chapter. However, plans changed and now all of my painted models are Ultramarines, it became a thing that the previously painted needed to be amended, a job that took time as I focused on newer models. Well, eventually, the paint scheme was amended on my Tactical Marines but one thing I had never done to them was either shade or highlight. Again, this became something of a piecemeal effort, leading to only three of the ten being completed by the end of 2023. But now 2024 was here, I decided to make a concerted effort to get this long gestating miniatures finished completely, planning to get the entire unit finished. First up was the power armou...

The beginning of the Romulans

Image
 It's been a while since I've posted here. In truth, time and opportunity to write has not been my friend of late but also, the concept of writing something after every completed project felt a little long-winded to me. Therefore, I thought I'd take a que from the Hammer My Backlog blog (which I'd recently discovered) and discuss my hobby journey on a weekly (or bi-weekly) basis rather than by project. And what better time to start than at the beginning of a new project. About 18 months ago, I picked up Star Trek Away Missions, a tabletop miniatures skirmish game which works in a similar vein to Warhammer Underworlds. Now, the accompanying miniatures (which are all designed with this heightened reality vibe that has been controversial but I really vibe with) have all been painted, but last Christmas, I received two additional expansions, including the Romulan Expansion team. In truth, I've been subtly working on this collection of miniatures for the past couple ...

11. Suppressors: Completing Strike Team Solarien (Sort of)

Image
So, midway through last month (January 2024) I bought a copy of White Dwarf 496. I'm very haphazard regarding such purchases but, on this occasion, there was something inside which really intrigued me: the rules for the S olarien Task Force. While I haven't done so yet, I am eager to get into the playing side of the hobby. However, when (or more likely 'if') I get to playing for the first time, I want to start small and what smaller than a Combat Patrol. At this point, I already have a full combat patrol for Adepta Sororitas but, with their rules on miracle dice seeming a little complex, I wanted to maybe start simple with some of the Space Marine miniatures I already have. This is what made the Solarien Task Force both intriguing and tempting; because so far I already have a painted Phobos Lieutenant, a squad of Infiltrators and a Librarian (although Legends instead of Phobos. But I can proxy, right?) All that's left is the Suppressors, and I have a trio of those w...
