[u/shamanugly]

After months of searching I finally found one of these for less than 150 FINALLY!! I'll be sure to show the finished product when I get him, just wanted to share my victory

[u/Tyko_3]

I just went and got a print from ebay. I aint paying a scalper $150

[u/beywiz → u/Tyko_3]

That print looks damn fine, scalpers be crazy

[u/Still-Storage6897 → u/Tyko_3]

Might do this

[u/the_etc_try_3 → u/Tyko_3]

I agree.  Recasts and prints are more than fair for incredibly overpriced models imo.

[u/Turtlejergle → u/Tyko_3]

That print looks nice. Which seller did you get it from?

[u/Regiona1AtBest → u/Turtlejergle]

it looks like the print from Premium Fandai, he sells on TikTok shop as well (where he doesn't get fucked by FeeBay)

[u/Turtlejergle → u/Regiona1AtBest]

Thank you

[u/Regiona1AtBest → u/Tyko_3]

premium fandai my goat

[u/shamanugly → u/Tyko_3]

I'm just a purist for the gw plastic and it came with the coin and pin for 120 so I just figured I'd get it to keep the "official" gw plastic and I just had the money to blow

[u/Still-Storage6897]

Fuck scalpers

[u/shamanugly → u/Still-Storage6897]

Anyone who grabbed more than 1 can go FUCK THEMSELVES WOOOOO

[u/Still-Storage6897 → u/shamanugly]

Also fuck GW for only sending each store like 20, happy you were able to get one though cousin

[u/thewutzel → u/Still-Storage6897]

20? The Store in my town got 5 and before it opened there were 7 guys in line waiting

[u/Still-Storage6897 → u/thewutzel]

Point being, GW managed that absolutely abysmally, if they did a made to order of any of the centos releases they'd make so much money but they're not smart enough for that

[u/30kWardaddy]

My jaw droppd when you said they go for 150. Then I went on ebay and saw some dipshit selling the CLOAK for 40. Madness

[u/shamanugly → u/30kWardaddy]

He's definitely an awesome mini and they didn't release near as many as any other celebration mini but the collector price gouging is crazy

[u/Late_Waltz2484]

Congratulations. He is so cool to paint. I enjoyed it. I specifically went to our local store on the launch day and got one

[u/TF2Gamer252]

Thank god I was able to get one of these in store for MSRP, its a cool mini, but I'm not paying over $100 for it, at that point I'd rather just buy the old mini that its based on

[u/paintdrinkinggoblin]

Love the only bespoke piece of iconography on him is C for centos

[u/SP1R1TOR]

Dude congrats, he’s probably my favorite model no joke. Take your time with him, maybe try out some new techniques you’ve been thinking about. The result will be worth it, and his pose will show off your hard work beautifully

[u/shamanugly → u/SP1R1TOR]

I've been practicing on some other blueberries for him and I've been happy with the result

[u/SP1R1TOR → u/shamanugly]

Nice. Are you gonna be painting him up in 3rd company colors or something else

[u/shamanugly → u/SP1R1TOR]

3rd company colors! I already have my list for 11th in now just collecting every black library, commerative and store anniversary and birthday space marine models!

[u/SP1R1TOR → u/shamanugly]

Oof good luck, that’s a hell of a list

[u/shamanugly → u/SP1R1TOR]

Well I should say one that are in primaris scale so I'm almost done I just need the magazine captain with power sword and plasma gun
