kanata67 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) recently informed that I need to come up with another $1500 before we close on a house 4/28 so I'm going through stuff that I don't need and is destined for ebay. I noticed that large lots of "unseen" batletech minis do well and I have a number I need to sell as I'm only keeping enough for one chess set. My problem lies in figuring out which mini's I have as it's been soooo long since I was into battletech. I recognize the marauders, warhammers, lams, locusts, crusaders, and other macross/robotech figures but the others completely escape me. Is there a picture reference guide for the mini's availible on the web? As I plan on selling them in a time constrained situation I don't want to have to track down and buy the technical readouts and hope I guess right. Any idea? also... if anybody has any ideas for my chess set as I'm not 100% happy with the layout so far. As is the pawns are crusaders/gbp-1s [i am one short of 16], the castles/rooks are warhammer/tomahawk/excalibur, the knights are vf supers in battroid, the bishops are locusts [i'd prefer a macross mech], the queens are marauder/glaug/zentraedi officers pods without head guns and the kings are the same with head guns [i'd prefer a bigger difference between king and queen but don't know of a sdf mini or other mech that would work. Was there ever a pod mini?] I was planning on a red vs. blue max/milla paint scheme unless I hear a better idea. Along the same lines I have over 10 lbs of warhammer 40k minis I can only catagorize as eldar, marine, guard, ork... but no further... is there a resource for that? Any help would be appreciated. Anybody know anything about the swiss made bolex hi16 variable frame movie camera like hitchcock used while we are at it?

Skull 0ne Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I would like to buy some of them off you What are you asking for them? Thanks Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7725 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 If you have pics, it would probably be faster simply to post them and get us to id for you.. Btech and GW I can probably help you out, but there's a limit to what I can help you with. Given your (incredible) ability to procure old stuff, some of the miniatures you have are probably so old even searching GW archives is fruitless. Like Skull One, I probably would be interested in some of your stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynx7725 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 (edited) marauders, a warhammer in need of resoldering , locusts, some type of vf/LAM and another style vf/LAM This one's easy. Marauders, and 'Hammer you already identified. The VF-style Mechs on the left are Wasps, those on the right are Stingers. From Top Left to Top Right, row by row: Victor, Assassin, Whitworth, Orion Awesome, Clint (?), Vulcan, Zeus The tanks aren't Battletech, looks like Shermans to me. From Top Left to Top Right, row by row: Stalker, ShadowHawk, Wolverine, Bombardier Javelin, Dragon, Quickdraw, Banshee. From Top Left to Top Right, row by row: Dragons Zeus Orions I'm definitely interested in your Marauders, especially the complete ones.

Dangard Ace Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 1st: Marauders, Locusts, Wasps, Stingers. 3rd Pic: Stalker, Shadow Hawk, Wolverine, Bombardier Javelin, Dragon, ???, Banshee 4th pic: Dragons Zeus' Orions' Guess I'll have to go re-read my BT stuff (tech specs and books) for the one I missed. or....I could let Lynx answer this question. BT Chess set: I would've made the Locusts/Wasps/Stingers the pawns. Warhammer/Archers rooks Phoenix Hawks knights Crusaders Bishops Marauders Queens Atlas's Kings or if you want Macross/BT set pawns: wasps/stingers Rooks: warhammers/archers knights: phoenix hawks bishops: ostscouts/Valkyrie Queen: Marauder King: Crusader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanata67 Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 I didn't solder them... I got them that way. I lost all my original mini's about a decade ago and aquired these in the last year in two batches in the condition you see. Well... almost in the condition you see as I did primer a few in anticipation . Also keep in mind that the mini's I have aside for my chess set are not pictured. as for the damage soldering causes... I haven't noticed any. I personally think it's ugly as sin but haven't bothered with these. A while back [around x-mas] I sold a lot of 60 battletech mini's on ebay [the first batch I aquired] and cleaned the solder off a few. I just used my butane soldering iron and it melted right off and the parts looked like new. MAybe it was solder with flux vs solder without that caused problems? ok... so is the phoenix hawk the super? as for the chess set... I was thinking of wasps or stingers as pawns but the crusaders just lloked so cool and I had 15 of them. I figure one more and I have my set of pawns and one of the most expensive chess sets around to boot . To be honest I feel kind of stupid for selling the first batch for x-mas money as I wish I still had the four rifleman to use as bishops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
