So I have a bit of a reputation in my group for finding some good deals, a "getting paid to take people's rare/OOP models away" kind of rep. While I had to pay for this lot it certainly wasn't much (see the bottom of the post) and selling off what I don't want will reduce the price even further.
Anyway, Lex asked for some pics of what I got so here's a bit of show and tell. If I'm missing parts I'd be interested in knowing. Also, I'd be interested in trades too for other stuff like this.
First up, some lovely regiment bases for Warhammer that I have no use for. To eBay to reduce my costs!

Add to that three blisters of Warhammer Dwarves. To eBay!

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-axs5W-p0MaI/Us1bBsBaD3I/AAAAAAAAOpw/DZvrvNK5Ib0/s640/IMG_0003.JPG)
Next, some odd terrain. While somewhat useful not all that exciting.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-slzxljFxFdI/Us1bCG4vs4I/AAAAAAAAOps/Dy97kCadfZQ/s640/IMG_0015.JPG)
A Big Bag o' Bases (111)! Can never have enough of these...
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ka84CJLxsbU/Us1bCw3mE8I/AAAAAAAAOp4/0paVWAE5XZg/s640/IMG_0005.JPG)
Ladders! Not all that useful but great for terrain.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-eVlu_HDJ6BA/Us1bDwpUOmI/AAAAAAAAOqA/5m4RY853U0E/s640/IMG_0014.JPG)
Boiling pots of excrement?!?! Again, same boat as the ladders.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-eKM4w-MVGmA/Us1bJaBtGYI/AAAAAAAAOrE/rPxgUTPhAzM/s640/IMG_0011.JPG)
Now we begin to get in to the cool stuff, Orc carts! Fun for objectives, flavor and scenarios.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BeqisBA7HMU/Us1bEaI9kwI/AAAAAAAAOqI/68oF2ooMUNA/s640/IMG_0008.JPG)
And Empire carts (anyone have wheels I can borrow :()!
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1rSkgXoYZEo/Us1bFBtSKNI/AAAAAAAAOqQ/Kuus_cN2pb4/s640/IMG_0010.JPG)
And now stuff that's cool and that we can use in most of our games... Earthworks (sadly missing the small spikey one, PM me if you want to trade!)
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-y0o9cQc4T-M/Us1bF0kEVQI/AAAAAAAAOqY/6w8d_T467xs/s640/IMG_0013.JPG)
Plus bigger earthworks (missing the big loggy one, interested in trading?)
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Hev-nVSd9RA/Us1bGSAXkeI/AAAAAAAAOqg/ImEQZuT7mVU/s640/IMG_0012.JPG)
A Forgeworld wizard castle's base! No castle itself but Ed has one...
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-H7WCeOnI0SM/Us1bGzQZk9I/AAAAAAAAOqo/bA58B2YWw8U/s640/IMG_0016.JPG)
And now the ulta cool stuff... Battering rams!
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kDrdBeI8UkA/Us1bHq35ZiI/AAAAAAAAOqw/zmuIaoCGpy0/s640/IMG_0009.JPG)
Mangonel!
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-bWv01ZZtmto/Us1bIX7v6OI/AAAAAAAAOq4/H3gIRqMnGRA/s640/IMG_0007.JPG)
And... trebuchets! I was worried I was missing one small part but found it in the bottom of the box.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-g0s-THbB67I/Us1bI8zxtWI/AAAAAAAAOrA/vCgcTRZI_Hw/s640/IMG_0006.JPG)
All told an awesome haul. But the best part? I paid $61USD for it, shipped. Some guy just listed it as "Warhammer Lot" and took a bunch of crappy pictures where you could barely make out what was in it. Once I recognized the two trebuchets I knew it was worth it.
-
You suck :)
Pm sent re siege stuff.
(If you can't tell I'm one of Dave's friends who hate him so much)
-
Good stuff! Thanks for the show and tell!
I do have the small earthworks and the "big loggy" earthworks. Perhaps we can trade...
Congrats on the find!
-
I am super jealous you got some Bret trebuchets at a good price.
A nice haul!
-
You are a smug bastard, sir.

Fun Fact: There's actually two variants of the back end of the Orc cart. I'm curious now if there's others. Anyone have some?

Now you're just getting greedy with that OCD "do I have all the variants?" talk.
-
Just sent you a PM about wheels.

Thats good, but seeing as you've thrown down the bragging rights gauntlet.....
I managed to buy 100+ mint blisters of assorted warmaster (Mostly High Elves, Empire and Tomb Kings) for £100 as a job lot in a huge box at a wargaming show in Bolton about 4 years ago. (smug face). My mate who was with me at the time still talks about this find even now (he's gutted because I saw it first!)
When I asked him how much he would take for the lot and he said £100, I tried to stop my voice cracking when I sucked my teeth and then casually replied "go on, I'll have them then" to his offer.
Can anyone beat that?

Guess how much?

I also got a complete Albion character set and a Crested Steg (minus tail and crew) for $4 at Adepticon. Eric doesn't like it when I talk about that one though.

That's a good deal. I don't know if i can beat it, but here's the best deals i've had with warmaster.
- A fully painted 4k Bretonnian army and a fully painted 4k Orc army for £60 ... both from a guy that's been at GW since Newark days and wanted rid of his figures (my friend had Brets, i had Orcs) ;D
- A fully painted 3k Empire for £20.... this was a risky purchase from ebay
Not bad deals
-
Initial post was bad enough, now I hate all of you.

+1 :'(
Dave- can you take a detailed pic of the back of the two orc wagon variants?
-
Hey Geep, it's actually an Undead cart body. Looks like it got mixed in with the Orcs.
-
I think Calmacil's winning at the moment, 8K of troops for £60........

I got most of my 50 High Elf units for £1 a blister on eBay last year - but Dwarves Empire and Chaos were closer to £5 each.
The only real bargain I got was 3 units of Phoenix Guard and 2 units of Swordmasters for £40.
