Devo Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 There was a time when I was a fairly prolific army builder (mostly 40K and Fantasy), but about 10 years ago I lost the itch and stopped building. I'm looking to downsize my collection and am looking for some advice on the best way to do that. I have a number of half-built armies, dozens of 40k vehicles, individual figures not in blister, and a few in-box sets that may or may not have something cherry-picked out of it. I may also get rid of some of my 40K armies, but the fantasy stuff still has value as roleplaying minis. In rough order of quantity, I have Fantasy, 40K, Infinity, Confrontation, Hordes, and a few others. Tons of Reaper and other mini blisterrs, too. Mind you, all of this is at least 10 years old, going back to 20 years old, so none of it is from current versions of the game. I've already thrown away two huge garbage bags of stripped sprues, and could probably fill another. One idea I've got is to donate it to the Ordo Senate and they can garage sale it, or whatever else they want, and invest that back into the club. I'm not confident the reward would be worth the work, though, as I have no idea how valuable the older stuff is. Anyways, what do you think? Is there a best way to get rid of this stuff? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Mindtaker has several options, from consignment to cash to in-store credit. So I'm sure they could find something that works for you. I also think auctioning armies off on Ordo would be nice too. There are several collectors here and a chance to get hands on older models is always nice. Plus it ends up supporting the club. I'm sure you could find help from ordo to make that happen so it isn't on your shoulders. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted April 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Started with the basic stuff: IG and Marines. I'm still just organizing, with the intent to get it to Mindtaker eventually. If there's anything you want there, let me know. Real basic pictures, too. I may go back for some glamour shots later, but unlikely on this batch. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o4thyugkeznyvrq/AADXbejJlzxGba3eAkr5s_b4a?dl=0  My Homecoming army is assembled there. Not sure that anyone would want it - and the wife is trying to persuade me to keep it. Whatever happens to it, I want better pictures. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I second keeping your Homecoming army. I know I'd be interested in a storm trooper squad and some of your Tallarans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macharius Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Hello, I'd be super interested in the Blood Bowl team and any foam trays figure case you might have.  Also tried to PM and it wouldn't let me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted May 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 More organization under way: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w7xatnqprzkhttx/AAD7o706rsJBJvEyyi8nOI-pa?dl=0  I’ve got about 40 trays worth of minis to go through still - mostly Reaper metal and the like. A couple more armies, too. GW cases, transport cases, and trays will be up here eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted May 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 I’ve fixed my email problem. Evidently the board doesn’t like it when you’ve got some 300 emails in your inbox, going back 12 years. If you’ve reached out to me and I haven’t gotten back to you, send me an email. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted May 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Sorry all, I should have added this sooner. I've taken all of my stuff to Mindtaker Miniatures. Except for something I promised to Mike, everything is gone. i've got some painted armies I'm still on the fence about, but that's it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted May 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 I'm keeping armies that could have roleplay applications, so I'm keeping my Sea Elves. For the rest of them: Homecoming 40K: keeping (purely for nostalgia) Cathedral Sisters of Battle: on the fence. Steampunk Chaos 40k: on the fence leaning towards keeping. Ratfolk-Corrupted Lizardfolk: keeping. Vampires of Razor Bay: keeping. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
