Two new auctions up on eBay!

So, the two new auctions I've mentioned earlier are up on eBay.

The first is for a complete "starter" set of INCURSION. I've been blogging all week about this set, and how great the models are.

You can start bidding on this auction here.

The second auction is for a brand new, unopened, still-sealed copy of SPACE HULK. This was donated to the cause by the winner of the auction for my Legio Custodes army. Alec is truly a very generous guy!

This auction can be found here.

UPDATE - Nov 8, 2010: Outrider Hobbies have donated a set of their Space Ship Bug Hunt foam trays to add to the Space Hulk auction. Great stuff!

For those who don't know why I'm auctioning off this stuff, you can read more about it here and here.

I've also had a few folks ask about what Battlefront is doing for all of this. Well, we're currently working on a nice big Flames of War project that will certainly help out. It's a project that'll take a bit of time, but will be well worth the wait.

Take care everyone, and have fun!

Cheers

Thank you one and all!

Well, as many of you might have seen, the auction for my (now former) Legio Custodes came to an end on Sunday having raised $3,800 for my two friends, John and Justin. Thank you to everyone who bid on the army, told someone about the auction, donated to Justin and John through their Paypal accounts, and sent messages of support through. Thank you everyone!

Thanks especially go to a great guy, Alec, who placed the winning bid on the army. I've spoken with him on the phone this week and I'm very excited that someone who is as passionate about 40K as I am will be taking up the mantle of "Custodian of the Custodes" (please, no janitorial jokes).

Alec is the guy behind the Apocalypse40K.com forums which are all about, you guessed it, Apocalypse gaming. In Alec's own words:

"Apocalypse40K.com is a forum for Apocalypse-sized battles in Warhammer 40,000. Some of the biggest Apocalypse groups in the country participate and discuss issues surrouding games sizes, rules, formations, DIY units and more. Battle Reports from World Record games and details on some insanely big armies are all part of this fun and informative forum."

I strongly urge those of you with a passion for the Apocalyptic to head to the forums and join in the fun.

As well as all that, Alec is donating a still-sealed-in-the-box copy of Space Hulk to be auctioned off. How cool is that? More details in the next week.

Anyway, I've been waiting a little while to show you these guys, a couple of conversions that are part of the last batch of commissions I've done. What you see below are some conversions done for a Ravenguard army. On the left is a "counts as" Sicarius. In the middle is a "counts as" Vulkan, and the metal chap is Lemartes with his Blood Angel iconography filed off. In the bottom picture you can see the feathered cloaks I did for Sicarus and Vulkan. I might have to do a quick tutorial on them.

Keen eyes will notice I have also modeled the two "counts as" characters with a style of armor first seen in the Index Astartes piece on the Imperial Fists. A member of GW France did some great conversions that have since spawned quite a few homages. One that I like a lot was done by blog reader Pulse, and his great work can be seen in this thread on Bolter & Chainsword.

Cheers
