Hard to get miniatures
« on: February 29, 2008, 12:09:13 PM »
 Just wondering what miniatures are hard to get ahold of and if any people know where to get there hands on them.
 For instance what is the hardest miniature/model to get for Warzone?

I'd guess a Zenethain Soul Slayer probably based off of one's members troubles.

The Heretic Legionairres were a problem for a while but out of nowhere a bunch popped up.  Also the GT-offroad is impossible to find commercially.

 I noticed the Zenithain Soul Slayer and the Heritics along with Karnophages.
 How much are the GT-offroaders going for?
 The Capitol Assault Marines seem hard to get(the basic ones anyway).
 Blight Commandos too.

 The Tekron with spider legs is a large miniature and very cool.Just need to keep eye's peeled on Ebay and hope one pops up.
 I have four Mirrormen upstairs waiting for me to finish thier paint job.
 @ WarzoneD
 From your list the Tekron is the only one I dont have  ;D.

From what I have seen one of the hardest if not the hardest minis to find are the newer Undead Legionnaire models that were released by Target just before they went under in as far as I can tell small quantities.  As far as I know Excelsior never had any of these (though I didn't keep up with things very closely towards the later year or two they were doing Warzone, so I'm not sure).  One thing that is strange about these models is that on the packaging they were listed as Undead Legionnaires and then in the last issue of the Target fan magazine they were previewed and listed as Necromutants (or it could have been the other way around, been a long time).  But based on their weapons they sure seem to be meant to represent Legionnaires.

Here is a pic of a couple of mine painted:


Has anyone else run into these or are they not as rare as I used to think they were?
