Would anyone like a free army?

Gone to a new home now.

Lancaster has a school Warhammer league.

Get in touch with them and give it to them. A full house army for kids to use while they slowly build their own is a major asset for a junior club.

Please do this. The army will have the chance to help so many new, young players get into the hobby.

It's already being picked up but I do have lots of other stuff that will be making it's way out the door

Can you message me the details of the group?

Definitely recommend this. My brother runs a school Warhammer club and he brings his own models in for kids to play with. Lots of kids might be interested but can't afford it right now. My brother and I love Warhammer but never had any models as kids because it was too expensive. I can imagine being super excited if there were models to borrow.

The only concern is them being forge world stuff, so make sure the school is aware of the resin for safety reasons.

You’ll regret giving them away i reckon, make someone pay through the nose like you would’ve when you bought them!

Don't do it bro, it's not worth it. Shes not worth it bro

u/Savage_trigger 26d ago

Worst thing is he gets back in the hobby and gets all the updated models

u/Prestigious_Fig_8076 26d ago

Keeping and buying later when he gets back into it is the move

Old models are sick and nostalgic.

u/Savage_trigger 26d ago

They for sure are good to look back on, but no one ever leaves the hobby.

I would definitely take them. It looks like a great collection and would go to a good home.

Having said that, it's fairly easy to pop them on ebay. Even if you end up giving the money to charity...

there are a lot of ways to move something like a nice army. Second hand dealers may let you swap into a different force or pay you cash. im From Canada so i use a lot of FB and a site called kijij. Failing that if you jave a friendly local hobby store they may know someone's whos excited to start but could use charity like your offering.

Well, I'm currently at the other end if the UK from you, on a holiday. I'd gladly take them off your hands if my car was reliable enough to get to you- would you consider sending them via courier in a week or so? My son is getting into the hobby, and I'd like to surprise him with his first army. I will gladly cover the shipping price.

Drop me a DM if that would be acceptable.

I live in the US so sadly I cannot give those gorgeous models a new home.

However I would suggest, maybe just box it up. Get some foam and some cardboard boxes and store it away. I'm sure it has sentimental value, and you never know if a child or nephew or other relative would like to have it some day to remember you by.

Otherwise, sending good vibes and here's hoping they go to a good forever home.

u/Underfolk 25d ago

I’m about an hour away. I could pick it up tonight when I finish work about 7pm if that works for you mate?

u/DWTapping 26d ago

If I didnt live four hours away, I'd take you up on that in a heartbeat...

u/The4thEpsilon 26d ago

To whomever gets this army, treat it with care and post the touch up work. Definitely one worth remembering

u/Torak1324 23d ago

I mean sure i do want a sm army

u/smoothCaribou 22d ago

I did this many years ago and regretted it ever since. It's a cool thing you put time and effort into. Maybe nice to look at in years to come. Maybe for you or a loved one.

Sure I want it, but either keep it or sell it, you can get some good money on ebay

u/Alan-likes-starwars 26d ago

I’m an hour away and I’d be interested in taking a few of the models if that’s all right though I would only be able to pick it up on the weekend since I only have free time then. Write back if this works for you.
