    Default Wanted - Any Warhammer 40K stuff

    Hi All

    I know this is a big ask, but does anybody have any 40K stuff they don't use.

    I am setting up a wargaming club for the local youth to give them something to do in stead of hanging around on street corners.

    I have some Imperial gaurd and some Chaos Marines, but could do with any spare troops etc that you would be prepared to part with.

    They will be put to good use trying to redirect some of the local kids and give them something to focus on.

    Thanks for reading.

    No promises mate but I'll ask the guys. I may be able to spare a few marines and an OOP razorback, whirlwind and predator that I don't play any more. As long as you don't mind a Dark Angel colour scheme :-)

    If the guys come through I may be able to score some Orks, Tau or Nids.

    There may be some terrain too.

    Cheers Nigel

    Colour schemes aren't an issue as the idea is to give them the idea to focus on and these will be for them to use at the club to get going and hopefully they will go on to establish their own units.

    Regards

    You only dig a hole for you to die in if you try to explain why you need 40K stuff.

    My wife has long given up on trying to understand 40K and now just nods and says that sounds great dear... LOL

    NEVER try to explain 40k to anyone who is a; female or b; over 14 years of age!

    I find it easier just to show them this;

    Gotten back into the tabletop stuff in the last few years. Mostly as my mother wanted it out of her house, wife was intrigued, and finally cotton on that it was yet another thing to blow my cash on!

    Best of luck with your endeavour mate

    Haha - SWMBO knows about the Black Library but not the Epic gear in my parents loft... eBay looks tempting I think I have some 'collectors items'!

    And more on point...

    Wild Thing - it is 40k and not Epic that you need/want. I'll no doubt be clearing out stuff here and at my parents when I move in the next month or so... Only got the little diddy men though.

    Epic (i.e. tiny): Contradiction in terms really... I guess even Sanguinius can have a Napoleon complex?

    Hadn't thought about epic to be honest, but that could be a goer as well.

    Yeah we'll give that a go as well if you don't mind mate.

    Thanks

    I've got loads of warhammer stuff in the attic. Shame it's not 40k or you could have it. I haven't played in years, but I do still paint the odd model.
