Emperor Ming Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I use eBay and bitzbox bitz aint that cheap anymore, sometimes its cheaper to buy a gw box, and cannibalise it for bits of darksphere or wayland/similar sites Halandaar, Inquisitor_Lensoven and Firedrake Cordova 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384056-cheapest-way-to-source-parts/#findComment-6066446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Bodies are usually the most expensive bit from a kit, so if you need multiples you'd probably pay more for 5 Gravis bodies from a bits seller than you would for a full box of Heavy Intercessors. Cheapest way overall is to be the bits seller, i.e. buy the kit, keep the stuff you need, sell the stuff you don't. Whether or not people can be bothered to do that is obviously variable.

Northern Walker Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Do they still sell the easy to build aggressors? Those used to be a decent source of gravis bodies if you can live with the poses.

Grotsmasha Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 It is almost certainly going to be cheaper to find an online retailer and get a box of Gravis vs. just bits buying the bodies. You've got Aggressors, Inceptors, Eradicators in 3, and Heavy Intercessors in 5. Depending on the intended kit-bash, maybe buying badly painted/assembled units on eBay for cheap and then stripping/cutting them will save some dollars too.

Mysterion Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 (edited) eBay has always served me well in these cases, you just have to be specific with your searches, someone out there will have what you need.

Bigyun2K Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) Hi guys a newbie here. Just thought i would give my point of view. I am 62 and just started (not to game but to build & Paint) I have bought both magazine & model from eBay which is fine & dandy. However the issue is COSTS. Some people are very fair on price yet others want an arm & a leg. I have no issues with people making profits but some are ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad if they gave some cash to a charity on line. Sorry guys just a little rant.
