Dead tangent

I've had a bunch of bits and pieces sitting in a cupboard at home and a nagging (in a positive kind of way) wife at my throat trying to have me get rid of them so on Sunday I finally got it together to drop it all into the club and our Bitz Collective - a massive collection of Fantasy/40k/some indescribable bitz. It's freakin huge. In the lead up to this offloading of miscellany I was thinking about what I might take in return.

By sheer coincidence I met Justin in the carpark before the club started and was able to look over some stuff he had been trying to sell earlier at the AWC bring-and-buy without success. These were Rackham miniature, something I have little experience with, but I was most taken with several minis and before I knew it I had the makings of a Vampire Counts army! A fortuitous rummage through the Collective yielded a stack more awesome old stuff and I am now well on my way to having some serious Dead Toy Soldiers action happening.

I picked up from Justin the following:

An Elemental of Darkness to use as a wicked counts-as Varghulf:

An Earth Elemental to use as a Skellie block filler:

And this scary bugger to use as a Banshee or possibly a Wight King:

Filched enough from the Collective to make 10+ Black Knights and the start of a Skellie block.


Excellent.
