That is the army from white dwarf holy hell it looks pretty awsome I must say, wonder why it's being sold? But in any case hes going to get a good amount of mula from it.

Pay attention kiddies. This is one of those rare times pro-painted actually means something on extortionBay.

That's an amazing army. I have trouble understanding why someone would be willing to part with something like that; even given the current highest bid. I aspire to someday having an army that personalised.

*Drool at this army particularly at the sentinel & stormies*

Well, this certainly is a very nice army. Many would love to be able archieve something like that.

I wonder how much would the bid go up to...

Thats sweet. Wish I had an army that well painted. Well, a guy can dream, can't he?

I'll keep my eye on the price to see how much someone is willing to pay for something like this.

Yeah, I've seen it. Damn sweet army it is. Didn't know it was from a white dwarf, though..

imperialnutcase · « **Reply #6 on:** April 18, 2006, 11:31:52 AM »

call me insane or whatever , but i actually WOULDNT want that army

, becuase once you get an army THAT personlaised and exposed (WD) it takes all the fun out of converting your own stuff and sitting back one day realising their finished (and saying "i made them ") whoever buys that wont have that experience ..

So very not worth £595GB, what it's currently going for. Plus, you can't really add to it since you won't be able to make anything that looks even remotely like it.

Hey ho. Looks nice though

Crummy pictures though, considering the excellent ones taken in White Dwarf. Probably copyright issues stopping him using them.

Oh well, still a lovely army - I wouldn't pay that for it though!

meh. alittle too heavy on the extra parts. and the over abundance of leaves on a non junglefighters army leaves alot to be desired.

Valhalla114 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 18, 2006, 12:21:49 PM »

Its just a bunch of chimeras and rhinos mixed and matched for parts. Its just funny its going for so much. Gotta get published in WD....ehheheheheheh e

Vespasian Swiper · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2006, 01:04:37 PM »

£620...

wow - I thought he said he had 20 tanks in it according to the article...

Or was that my mistake.

imperialnutcase · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2006, 01:05:49 PM »

He had more tanks then this but obviously he kept them OR ther bieng sold in another auction

'Mark' · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2006, 01:31:15 PM »

I still don't think the price is going to surpass that of the Legion of the Damned army that was sold not too long ago on ebay..

Still, it's a damn expensive heap of plastic and pewter. But oh so bloody beautiful...... *drool*

Chosen Man · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2006, 01:41:25 PM »

It's a very nice army...I remember seeing it in WD. I did like the camo to it. I also liked the kitbashing of the Rhino and Chimera parts. These are some serious master level skills at work there....I'd like to see it in action on the field myself...

I would agree that buying such an army would take a lot of the fun out of personalizing your own force, converting it, and painting it. Sure it looks good, but you can't go around claiming it as your own work. I'd rather be complemented on a nice-looking army that I painted and converted than on a phenomenal army that I merely bought off of Ebay.

'Mark' · « **Reply #16 on:** April 18, 2006, 03:51:35 PM »

Winning bid: GBP 865.98 (Approximately US $1,534.17)

...you could buy a lot of unpainted tanks for that kind of money...

Valhalla114 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 18, 2006, 03:58:05 PM »

I dont even like it thta much just that its such a "famous" item I had to post it.

Nurble · « **Reply #18 on:** April 18, 2006, 06:25:35 PM »

ohhh!
Looks cool! they look better on E bay then they did in the magazine!

(Whistles).

That is pretty impressive. That George Dellapina has a lot to answer for. Shame on him, selling such a beautiful piece of work. On the other hand, I know that if I ever get to the UK, I'm gonna try and get to a tank workshop with him. Learn every trick he's developed.
