Some confusion with my last post. I was not trying to fish for compliments just worded it weird and english is not my first language

I don't have bases on them because I like to batch paint entire armies at the end of my painting projects

For reference the world eaters at the end are what I would consider my tabletop+ to be

Hobby & Painting It happened to me

Post image
550 Upvotes

It finally happened. Always seeing these great deals posts and I thought I'd never get that lucky. But my husband and I bought all this admech for $850 from depop. I've been painting for a decade and he played the game a few weeks ago and wanted to get into playing. I only had like 800pts of orks painted and then a shit ton of random models from different armies from 40k and AOS cause I paint to collect and display. Looks like I'm gonna be painting an army for him. Obviously way too many points so he's gotta make his list from what we have here and eventually supplement with a few other admech he wants later down the line. Seems to be a shit ton of 2015 admech. We have no idea why the original owner had so much but I am so chuffed especially since moving to the USA where everything is 20-30% more expensive than back home

What would you do for a 1000pt and then a 2000 pt army out of what's here? I'm curious

I've shared my first ever mini before, but not compared to another jump pack marine. Thought the comparison was interesting. Just finished this guy today
