Screwed by Ebay Purchase

You may recall a Loot Call entry where I had a big bag of Vargheist bits that I was going to use the wings for converting Dark Steeds in Dark Pegasi. This was the image on the Ebay listing I bought. Twenty bucks = shipping for the lot. Seemed like a good deal. Imagine my dismay as I sat down to work on the conversion and took the wings out of the bag... AND THEY WERE ALL RIGHT SIDE WINGS!!! Every one of them. If you look in the picture, it looks like 3 sets, but it was a clever trick where three of the wings were positioned upside down to look like left side wings. So now I went to an online bitz seller and ordered the wings. With shipping it was $16, so cheaper AND I know I'm actually getting three sets of wings.

Moral of the story... scrutinize the pictures on Ebay very closely before buying. I just wish I hadn't left feedback already.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection at the behest of the commentators, it would seem that I got three sets of wings from the one Vargheist that has it's left arm up in the air. The membrane on that wing goes in such a way that it's the same curvature as the right arms. As such, you can't use the two together for wings on something like a Dark Pegasus other wise you'd have the membrane curving in opposite directions on the model which would look weird. So while the seller didn't deliberately deceive by selling 6 right wings, they were all from the one model that they can't be used together and look normal. :) It was my own fault for not paying closer attention.

Loot Call!: Bits and bits and... Dust

More things arriving in the mail! This time it's a bunch of bits. Normally I'm not much for converting minis, but it's starting to grind on me that certain things aren't available that my Dark Elf and Skaven army books allow for. So here's a look at what I got.

Assault Terminators Assembled!

So I got my Assault Terminators completely assembled, all with the shields from Scibor Miniatures. They're just ready for a prime then a paint. Here' they are:

I think the shields really give them a better feel for being minotaurs chapter with the Greek symbols.

Loot Call: Scibor Miniatures Spartan and Omega Shields

In my assembly of my Minotaurs Space Marines force, I wanted to do something different with my Assault Terminators than the regular Storm Shields. Enter Scibor Miniatures and my recent bit of loot in the mail!
