Cheapest way to source parts?

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Looking to kitbash a unit I described in another thread.

 

need gravis bodies, shields, and heavy bolters, maybe a plasma cannon?

 

probably buy the guns and shields off eBay?

my printer isn’t working so I won’t be able to print anything.

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

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.

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.

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.
