Thanks for the kind offer but the 40k Era ones aren't too hard to find - it's the Armageddon era ones that are going for £40-£70 prices!

They might have gaps but I honestly do have enough models to make a fair Eldar and Space Marine Army.

This past week a box arrived full of painted WM Daemons arrived.  It contained 11 Daemon hordes, a Slannesh Horde missing a strip and a Daemon Cavalry unit.  Paid $17 per unit.

Got a fair bargain on imperial fleet, but mainly bought it for those guys and few dauntless. Never knew that one of the rogue traders had this weird shape.

The two on the left are decomissioned/converted Cobras. On the right is an "alien" ship according to the Rogue Trader fleet listings.

Yep. I belive those are as timdp stated. I never saw them on the tabletop just on the Gw site. But I'm not sure about  the one on the bottom left. This dosent look like the " decomissioned" cobra that I have.

The one in the bottom left of your pic is listed as a Rogue Trader Cargo Vessel in the RT fleet list.

It has an interesting benefit for its 20 point cost:
"When included in a Rogue Trader escort squadron and not being used as a transport in scenarios that require them, it offers +1Ld to Reload Ordnance by ensuring escorts have a ready supply of torpedoes before the battle. This effect is not cumulative if there is more than one Rogue Trader cargo vessel in the escort squadron."

Wow. So there was more rogue traders models than pictured on SG site? Because as for escorts this photo I posted was the only one I saw. So it's obvious that i thought there are only three.

Don't remember how many ships were in the Rogue Trader escort blister, but I have two each of three types: Xenos, RT Cargo and Recommissioned Escort, so it looks like Dicnar's pic with the red/white ships shows what was in the blister

Oops my bad... Bottom ship here (below) is a standard Cobra. forgot about the assymmetrical one.
Simple mods and different paint to any of the Cobras could easiliy make them into a Recommissioned Escort.

Ops :D Never had an Imperial fleet so I just figured that this asymetrical cobra is a part of RT. :) Hmm... so the guy didn't have all RT escorts on sale.

I just managed to pick up a sisters of sigmar matriarch, Augur and superior for £9. Which compared to eBay prices is a massive score. Now to get the rest of the warband!
Looking for Warmaster players for games around london and surrey.

I've got a long story, puchased some Daemon blisters from GW before sock ran out and stored them in my closet.  Later, I won an auction for painted Daemons on ebay, with each unit costing about $18.  Offered the blisters for trade, now that I had excess amounts.  Ultimately, was able to trade the blisters to expand my Kislev army and begin a Dark Elf army.  Two armies that I didn't think I would be able to afford.
