My MOST EMBARRASSING eBay Warhammer Purchase!

I can't believe I got into this hobby almost 25 years ago. It seems like yesterday that I was picking up my first box of Eldar Guardians from a local hobby shop. Fast forward to nearly 25 years later and this week we will take a look at what is my absolute dumbest eBay Warhammer purchase to date, not that the models were bad, but man did I overpay! The auction was for a few squads of Eldar models from the late 90s and an Avatar of Khaine! I got into a crazy bidding war and just couldn't contain my emotion, I was pretty young at the time and didn't really think about the price if I'm being honest. In fact, I tried to justify it to my parents, saying these were special, and I got a good deal, which really didn't work, and they were a little upset. Of course looking back at it now and still owning the models just makes for a good story, but I felt bad about this purchase for quite a while, weird kid guilt, anyways...
We will be taking a look at the Avatar of Khaine today and seeing what can be done to bring it to a good place. I'm so excited to finally be done with this project and am very happy to share my results. I do hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)


This video was a fun one for me, lots of reminiscing about the good and bad of playing Warhammer when I was young. I eluded to quitting the hobby because of this model, and that's mostly the case. I was legitimately laughed at for this paint job by adult players back in the day, and some very not so nice things were said, so I told them to shove it and I quit buying models. It took me 20 years to come back to the hobby, and I am so glad that I did. I don't ever want to see that happen to anyone, and I will always do my best to encourage and lift up my fellow hobbyist'. I do feel like this hobby has gotten way better about things like that, although I still see room for improvement too. Either way, I hope we can make a positive impact on the hobby and have some fun together painting and playing wargames!
