Title: Most sought after unit
Post by: azrael71 on March 12, 2010, 10:28:38 PM
Hopefully the findings of this will help show that there is a demand for some of these re-released even if it is on a higher price point and by pre-orders.

You get 3 votes.
Vote for the ones you are desperately after.

I have not included the entire kislev army as there are alternatives out there but the bears seem to be the hardest ones to source.
If I have missed any list them here and I will add them to the poll.

The Empire Mortars are still available.

I voted for Norse Marauders, Elite Halberdiers(much easier to make DOW pikemen from them) and Kislev bears.

You missed the Brettonian Trebuchet - this is a standard unit thats missing.

Any chance of adding Winged Lancers to this as they are quite unique in look as well.

And how about the BOFA stuff I really need more Hill Trolls! they would be my number 1 pick

Hi Dave,
Trebuchets and winged lancers are available from other manufacturers.

I have swapped mortars for goblin fanatic cannons.

It always puzzles me this, how some units (mortars/emperor dragon) disappear from the site and when you contact mail order they inform you that they will never be available again :(.
So you go and source one from over the pond only for them to show up months later (unannounced) back for sale  >:(

As for BOTFA I think that warrants it's own poll :)

Prepare for bears to start showing up soon on eBay  ::)
6 units just went for relatively little on the auction site.

What about wound markers ?

I definitely would put wound marker number 1 (the big one with destroyed Canon barrel) as my most wanted one.....have to admit that I have all the other stuff except the Giant Scorpion which would be just "nice to have" for me.

Cheers
Claus

For me its definitly the hammerers as I was lucky enough to get all rare High elf units.

Btw. The Slann is still available:

Or do you mean the frog that gets carried by the kroxies?

@claus - Again, there are enough of the wound markers for their own poll, needs to include the letter and a description of the marker, or even a link to a photo repository of all the different ones.
@guthwine - Yes, I refer to the old (and inferior in my opinion) Slann carried on a palanquin.

I've basically voted for the ones that I'd buy, as I made sure that I had more than enough of the Empire Knight variants to keep myself busy for quite a while...

So that's SoC, Teutogen Guard and Norse Marauders. I've already got two units of the last, but still fancy doing a Norse army and more would help...

I think you should propose for vote all the oop units, even those that have alternatives disponible elsewhere.

Marauders and storm of chaos package seem to reunite everybody.

And Claus, if you want to propose a thread to exchange (and list) all the existing wound markers with their letter and photo, i'm ok to contribute and propose mines. I do have some in double, twice or more.

@Azrael and Marell

I will post the list of wound markers I have with letter indications.

I only know the ones which are on the last page of Warmaster Magazine # 3 (I guess it´s number 3) and I also have several of them in double or triplicate.

Regards
Claus

Wasn't a list drawn up over on the yahoo site?
I too am only aware of the warmag list.

I dont see the Alternate Chaos Sorcerers on the list.  The ones on the pillars of flame/earth

I have been trying to find them for years.
Title: Re: Most sought after unit
Post by: azrael71 on March 16, 2010, 02:31:16 PM
Added.
Did they come in their own seperate pack?
Title: Re: Most sought after unit
Post by: DaveC on March 16, 2010, 04:50:14 PM
Yeah the Sorcerers where in a separate blister.

Surprised the Norse Marauders are so popular. I'd like some for a Dogs of War army as they are less Chaosy than the normal ones.

I've taken pictures of the wound markers in Warmag 2. If the pictures are inappropriate/not allowed let me know and I'll remove them. There are more than these this is just whats pictured - no list is provided.

Thanks to all who responded.
Wow 33 results after a month.
I doubt the big GW will be racing to break out the old moulds anytime soon with that sort of response :(

Got to say some of the results are a surprise to me.
Especially the dwarf hammerers, but then again only seen these a couple of times on ebay.
And are the 4 people who are after the albion pack planning on doing an albion army ???

Cheers

Just recieved the warmaster magazine number 6.

I notice in the catalogue of miniatures (the last page) the reference of FWRM013 warmaster rats! 1pound/2 dollars included in the ork army.

Can anyone explain me (or upload a pic it will be great) what have that blister?

Also it is not included in the "most wanted poll" ... well I think like par the siege stuff.

I think that they basically became the rat swarms in the Skaven army. I could of course be wrong, but I do have a load of them in a MO bag somewhere...

marell le fou

I know of 19 different wound markers.
They have letter indications on the backside from A till S

In Warmaster Magazine # 3 (I guess it were 3) you can see pics of all of them.

I got all of them except the "A" one which were a special one larger then the others and available as single piece (I guess) The "A" is the most rare one. It´s symboling a destroyed Empire Canon with barrel on the ground.

In terms of rarity I can´t say very much. B to S seem to be more ro less common the same.

If I find the time I will upload a pic of the Warmaster page showing the woundmarkers.
As promised here it is:

I don´t know if there are more then that ones. At lease I never saw ohter ones.
