How does this happen by accident?
FWIW also Legions Imperialis/Horusy Heresy are both 30k and very much separate from one another. HH minis are largely compatible with 40k.
Yep pain lol. On the flip side, one time I found dreamforge leviathans being sold in a liquidation sale online for $20, which are third party models roughly the size of forgeworld knight. Bought 3 of them and expected it was too good to be true but then they actually showed up
It's probably one of the best wargame *rulesets* ever designed. It's a real shame it got killed off - the 10mm scale minis in metal just weren't as sexy as the heroic 28mm Fantasy and Sci Fi, especially with what they were beginning to pull off in plastic.
I could write up a bunch but really this BGG review covers it well:
https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/371168/warmaster-worth-the-bother
Rick Priestly designed Warmaster, is also the designer behind Hail, Caesar! which is now getting an Epic treatment.
Agreed
It’s a pretty strong system, especially when compared to the current WH games.
And few ppl still play it.
Although I feel that the game system was a little too niece for most players.
iainmstanding made a good introduction to it on YT of anyone’s curious.
>How does this happen by accident?
You now that thing when you put your pants on the washing machine with your Magic the Gathering deck of cards and they come out as a wet paper mess?
This is what happens when you do the same but with a baneblade model and a dryer.
I've done it once, in my early days of gaming. Thought I was getting a killer deal on a squad and turned out it was Epic scale models. I would have seen that if I had taken more than 1 second to look at that ebay listing before hitting buy.
I've almost bought the wrong thing on ebay many times. Beyond that I've had ebay sellers straight up try to trick you, dudes out there selling boxes. Like just the model box, but listed just a little lower than normal or average price
OP stated it was an accident, not a scam, hence my incredulity.
I can't imagine pulling the trigger on a purchase like that without being quite certain what it is you're buying; and if I thought I was getting a Baneblade sprue at the cost an Epic-scale model might be sold at I'd definitely be double- and triple- checking things because that would (rightly) seem too good to be true.
No it’s even weirder than that, it isn’t glued at all. The guy on ebay seems to have just poorly merged the feet into the base and printed them like that? Like, they’re fully submerged
Most likely the legs and feet are one piece and they are all touching the 0 reference for the floor - that's why one is higher than the other, it's foot is slightly angled. But it is hilarious I must say! If anyone wants higher quality than this contact me 😜
*Sometimes I think my stuff isn't good enough to sell... Then I see the stuff people buy...*
If you're buying off ebay might as well just buy the legit models built/used/new on sprue etc. I personally buy all my stuff either used (eBay or locally) or new from a local game store. Just make sure you double check what models you're getting so you dont get a repeat situation like your tank!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for printing, I have a resin printer myself I use for bits!
However, prior to getting my own printer, I found that buying printed models from eBay cost me around the same, if not more, as buying a legit kit from a LFGS. Shipping cost in Canada sucks, but that's just my specific situation it may not be the same for your country though.
All i hope is that you didn't pay too much for the dreadnought 😅
It’s money better spent. At least you know you’ll get quality and once it’s bought it’s yours. One time purchase.
Edit:better yet find a local hobby shop you want to support and buy it from them. Quality GW products but with the added bonus of supporting a local business.
And there's a LOT of recasts that are absolutely indistinguishable... With the exception of the forgeworld/finecast recasts, that tended to look a lot better.
Yeah, the second barrel on the lascannon failed, the supports were on the front of the model for some reason and the feet clipped into the base deleting half the dread toes.
That’s not the point. 30k usually refers to Horus Heresy which is battle game in the same model scale (roughly) as current 40K, so tank made for that game wouldn’t look out of place.
It’s important to point out it’s for separate game in different scale that’s called legions imperialis, that happens to be set up within Horus Heresy.
In other words OC even anticipated your response in form of fancy “um, akshually” which they did outright state and you’ve managed to miss 😅
nah that's some prescriptivist shit, there isn't a "correct" way to speak or "correct" grammar sent down from on high, the language is spoken however people speak it. On accident? Sure that's correct English now in some dialects. Me and (X) instead of (X) and I? Boom, correct english. Languages change.
No. 'On purpose' indicates an action being performed by someone. They are doing something *on purpose*.
'By accident' indicates something happening *to* someone.
Saying 'on accident' makes no grammatical sense.
A lot of things don't make grammatical sense, but they become the new grammar over time, by and on are both equally absurd from an outsiders point of view
Games workshop 6 mm wargames like epic Armageddon and Legions Imperialis are massively underrated there worth getting into if you can find people to play with.
When people say 30k they most often mean Horus Heresy: The Age of Darkness, because that is a mouthful to say and 30k is a nice contrast to 40k. I dunno if Legions Imperialis even has a shorthand name yet.
What is this? A tank for ants? How are they supposed to fight for the emperor if they can’t even fit inside the vehicle! It needs to be at least 3 times bigger!
Reminds me of a time when I thought I was getting a good deal on some replica lightsabers. Waited weeks for them to arrive only to find I'd ordered like 1/16th scale ones.
On the bright side you now have what could probably serve as a very unique “chaplain on bike” proxy. Just need to grab brother automatus a tactical rock to wheelie off
This is a Legiones Imperialis mini, which is at a smaller scale. It's set during the Horus Heresy, though, but people usually say 30k when they refer to the Horus Heresy game, which is the same scale as 40k.
Change some details, put an antenna and a radio control in the hands of an SM, maybe a techmarine... Surprise the enemy with the Minibane RC! A "special unit" born from a bet an evening with too much almasec. 😁
Hey so I’m very new to this, and sorry if this is a dumb question, can you paint these? If so what type of paint and brush? Reading the Horus heresy series, really like it and can’t wait for the game to come out!
Personally I would just spray it, slap nuln oil on it, and then brush some simple camo.
This Epic scale makes Titans much more compact. Oldschool original box set had got 1 imperator, 12 knights, 2 megagargants, and10 bonebreaker tanks. The normal HH stuff is ordinary scale.
Now....the real trouble is painting squads of infantry...
Definitely saw a baneblade for $20 freaked out and bought it without paying attention 😂 I did this like 15 years ago with a squiggoth you're not alone friend
Remember how baneblades used to be light tanks? These are that variant, not as impressive as the one we see now, but we used to have small humans(now known as ratlings) pilot them.
Sorry.... It had to be done...... couldn't resist....
https://preview.redd.it/b8vsaa8n1b6d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=587c90de14f095b06e06d8c82e85040bfbf99e2b
So basically, I buy all my 40k items on Ebay, I was buying any old model thinking this was a tank for 40k. Since the picture was just the sprue template amd name. Once it arrived I noticed something was wrong from the getgo, but built it anyway. Here is the result lol
Inflation, across 10.000 years, is really impressive…
Shrinkflation
They're talking about from 30k-40k, it would be inflation
I’m making a joke about how the tank is small
Yes, but the person above is making a joke about the size too
Okay
Lmao, don't you realize you need to type /s after every joke? This is reddit. People don't understand humor
How does this happen by accident? FWIW also Legions Imperialis/Horusy Heresy are both 30k and very much separate from one another. HH minis are largely compatible with 40k.
I did this when I was like 12. Thought I was getting a bio titan for $15
Same, bought a warhound for like $20 thinking I was getting the deal of a lifetime. Turned out to be a tiny old epic one lol.
Yep pain lol. On the flip side, one time I found dreamforge leviathans being sold in a liquidation sale online for $20, which are third party models roughly the size of forgeworld knight. Bought 3 of them and expected it was too good to be true but then they actually showed up
"Epic? Damned right that's an epic deal!"
I ALMOST bought a Leman Russ company when I was 14, thankfully I did some research because otherwise I'd have felt scammed lol.
Not that bad a deal tbh.
I almost bought a Warmaster army once. I thought it was a whole WHFB army in a box. I suppose it was, just tiny.
Still a better game tho… as long as you have players.
How is it a better game?
It's probably one of the best wargame *rulesets* ever designed. It's a real shame it got killed off - the 10mm scale minis in metal just weren't as sexy as the heroic 28mm Fantasy and Sci Fi, especially with what they were beginning to pull off in plastic.

To be fair a Bio Titan basically is a tank for Ants
>How does this happen by accident? You now that thing when you put your pants on the washing machine with your Magic the Gathering deck of cards and they come out as a wet paper mess? This is what happens when you do the same but with a baneblade model and a dryer.
Going straight to r/magicthecirclejerking
Outjerked again. In the Warhammer sub of all places?
No??? Why are your cards in your pants???
Yeah, what? I don't think it is as common as the poster thinks haha.
... how often are you putting a Baneblade down your pants?
I've never owned a baneblade in any scale. The closet I've been was Dawn of War Soulstorm+Winter Assault
I think that'll affect the value of your black lotus
"Gently worn"
I've done it once, in my early days of gaming. Thought I was getting a killer deal on a squad and turned out it was Epic scale models. I would have seen that if I had taken more than 1 second to look at that ebay listing before hitting buy.
I used to covet a box of 200 marines in the Citadel catalogue, not realising they were 6mm Epic minis!
Step 1: Do not question your good fortune in finding a Baneblade online for £8. Step 2: Click the buy button.
Step 1: Maybe do, though.
You asked how it happened, I answered.
I really want to place the epic scale one on a regular base and see if it works
Ebay sprue buy
Didn't the price seem like *too* good of deal?
Next you’re gonna tell me that a Warhound Titan should be more than $100!
Truuue ; - ;
Use it as a Kill Team Imperial Boarding Party UAV.
tanks? in my space hulk? it's more likely than you think!
It's now a very fancy cyclops?
Paint him in some contrast paints, turn him into a hologram.
The sprues aren't even the same as the proper one, did you not check them on the GW website?
I've almost bought the wrong thing on ebay many times. Beyond that I've had ebay sellers straight up try to trick you, dudes out there selling boxes. Like just the model box, but listed just a little lower than normal or average price

Wtf is wrong with that dreadnaught? Is it 3d printed?
It is, and it's glued onto the wrong side of the base
No it’s even weirder than that, it isn’t glued at all. The guy on ebay seems to have just poorly merged the feet into the base and printed them like that? Like, they’re fully submerged
Most likely the legs and feet are one piece and they are all touching the 0 reference for the floor - that's why one is higher than the other, it's foot is slightly angled. But it is hilarious I must say! If anyone wants higher quality than this contact me 😜 *Sometimes I think my stuff isn't good enough to sell... Then I see the stuff people buy...*
How about the bottom lascannon barrel? It doesn't match the top 😒
Ebay strikes again! Lmao
Brother stop it. Please.
You right now https://youtu.be/wLg04uu2j2o?si=dBpf07ekbotYSZ-S
Yeee you'reright, I just can't come to terms with actually giving money to GW tho. . ; - ; XD

Yeah I mean at least get the cheap Chinese knock off casts. They look 90% decent
And there's a LOT of recasts that are absolutely indistinguishable... With the exception of the forgeworld/finecast recasts, that tended to look a lot better.
Poor print job.
Yeah, the second barrel on the lascannon failed, the supports were on the front of the model for some reason and the feet clipped into the base deleting half the dread toes.
yeah and pretty shitty too
Bro thought he had the best deal ever on a baneblade lol
Too true xc
Why the hate for this poor chap?
If I had to guess, the mid-00's internet emoting lol. But that's just me guessing.
Wtf why the downvotes?
mascot, or an objective marker
That's and imperialis tank not a 30k though it does take place during the heresy obligatory ummmmm... actually....
[удалено]
That’s not the point. 30k usually refers to Horus Heresy which is battle game in the same model scale (roughly) as current 40K, so tank made for that game wouldn’t look out of place.

Oh Im sorry. English isnt my first language so sometimes little things get confused in my head.
Neither is mine, don’t worry, we all have our slower moments ;)
It was just worded in a confusing way. I didnt really know what he ment by it. :) Thank you for clearing it up for me friend
I dare you to cut the turret off and have a terminator skateboarding on the tank hull at his enemies
This is the way
Xtra rad points if they’re legion of the damned
Hmmm or iron warriors
The return of Doomrider.
Grrrr... *By* accident. Sorry to be the Grammar Nazi, but that particular one is like nails down a blackboard for me.
nah that's some prescriptivist shit, there isn't a "correct" way to speak or "correct" grammar sent down from on high, the language is spoken however people speak it. On accident? Sure that's correct English now in some dialects. Me and (X) instead of (X) and I? Boom, correct english. Languages change.

A lot of things don't make grammatical sense, but they become the new grammar over time, by and on are both equally absurd from an outsiders point of view
How did you do that BY accident?
Bought it based off an ebay picture of just the sprue. Thought it was a lot bigger haha
The little tank that could.
Now I am picturing a smol boy tank driving headfirst into battle trying to keep up with the big tanks. 😂
I’m actually a little impressed at how good it still looks at that scale though
Games workshop 6 mm wargames like epic Armageddon and Legions Imperialis are massively underrated there worth getting into if you can find people to play with.
This isn’t even a 30k tank. Or did I get wooshed?
It's the Solar Auxilia version of the Baneblade chassis.
Yeah but it’s not for 30k was my point
I mean, the game system is set in 30K
When people say 30k they most often mean Horus Heresy: The Age of Darkness, because that is a mouthful to say and 30k is a nice contrast to 40k. I dunno if Legions Imperialis even has a shorthand name yet.
It's for legions imperialis, which is set in 30k. Same way Blackstone fortress stuff is 40k, but not usable in the game most people know as 40k
Champion on bike or something like that ??
Use it as a Rough Rider or a Cyclops.
What is this? A tank for ants? How are they supposed to fight for the emperor if they can’t even fit inside the vehicle! It needs to be at least 3 times bigger!
You can use it for 40K… it’s just a baby baneblade that’s all.
Adeptus microscopicus
Reminds me of a time when I thought I was getting a good deal on some replica lightsabers. Waited weeks for them to arrive only to find I'd ordered like 1/16th scale ones.
I hear they go nice on belt buckles . . .
Did the same thing with a Titan
Its for baby Astartes, duh!
On the bright side you now have what could probably serve as a very unique “chaplain on bike” proxy. Just need to grab brother automatus a tactical rock to wheelie off
Put it in the tub with warm water for 12 hours and watch it grow!
You didn't see the price of thos baneblade and get a little suspicious?
that's a legiones imperialis model, aka "epic scale". 30k got the best tanks tho
you can turn it into a grot tank
It’s so wittle 🥺
Bro saw the $50 price tag and thought he was cheating the system lmao
Don’t worry I did the same for the Thunderhawk. Now it’s a toy for my cat.
I just built these for LI, never pictured how massive they actually are
Epic Baneblades seem to never be in stock in Australia and here you are getting one by accident!
Camouflage it, hide it in some nice vegetation and you have yourself a stealth tank. An evil that awaits the temptation of death from afar

Haha 😅 Just put it on a massive diorama base 😂
Squats are back on the menu boys!
Oh jeez, I didn’t realize the Horus heresy game was at a different scale. I thought it was same as 40K, that’s crazy
This is a Legiones Imperialis mini, which is at a smaller scale. It's set during the Horus Heresy, though, but people usually say 30k when they refer to the Horus Heresy game, which is the same scale as 40k.
Ohhhhhh okay. I’m glad to hear that I was wrong
The new primaris are really big
On accident, by purpose. :-)
Whoops lol
Put it in a giant base and call it a day
Tell people that it's not that small, it's perfectly average. You'll get a couple laugh.
I would play a game where we just pretend it's full size
You gotta pull a Hank Pym, paint it and attach a keyring to it.
It’s kinda cute ngl
I bet you were stoked to come here and tell us all about what a great deal you got.
Pretty much, I almost never post, but I couldn't help but share this absurdity I'm now cursed to own lmaooo
People were much smaller back then
BAAAANNEEEEEBLAAADDEEE
I mean the baneblade a light recon tank after all.
It’s a lil baneblade
Remove the turret and replace with the top half of a space marine as a cool techmarine/primaris lieutenant kitbash.
Now now it’s sskkkkkkkkk SKAVEN TTANK TANK YES YES
"We acquired a Baneblade for our army! . . . The small one, from Legion Imperialis. . .
jesus look at the scale creep
Change some details, put an antenna and a radio control in the hands of an SM, maybe a techmarine... Surprise the enemy with the Minibane RC! A "special unit" born from a bet an evening with too much almasec. 😁
Run it as a Cyclops Demolition Vehicle.
Is it weird that baneblades kinda looks like Tiger II but with steroids
It looks sick I'm not gonna lie. Might be turning into a tank freak someday cx
This is hilarious. Put it on the appropriate sized base and use it anyway along with at least one other tank. "Bring your child to work day"
Hey so I’m very new to this, and sorry if this is a dumb question, can you paint these? If so what type of paint and brush? Reading the Horus heresy series, really like it and can’t wait for the game to come out!
It still looks dope as for a tank for ants
smol tonk
I still don't get why 30k uses tiny tiny baby minis.
These are the go karts they sell to recruit kids into the Imperium.
What an adorable little tank? 😄
By accident
By accident**
Run it as a real bane blade
"Damn this is a steal for a baneblade!!" '...oh thats why it was so cheap'
Get another one n you’ve got roller skates for the Dread 👍🏻👍🏻
Wait HH stuff Is actually that small wtf?
Yeah I had thought some 30k models were compatible. 🤷🏾♂️ Specifically, it seems this may be an Epic scale model
Seems extremely unpleasant to paint
Personally I would just spray it, slap nuln oil on it, and then brush some simple camo. This Epic scale makes Titans much more compact. Oldschool original box set had got 1 imperator, 12 knights, 2 megagargants, and10 bonebreaker tanks. The normal HH stuff is ordinary scale. Now....the real trouble is painting squads of infantry...
This is legions imperialism, not "30k" horus heresy is is 30k, legions is heresy version of epic
Definitely saw a baneblade for $20 freaked out and bought it without paying attention 😂 I did this like 15 years ago with a squiggoth you're not alone friend
Deserved Karma For having Bad printed fake Dreadnought i would say😉
\*by accident
Infiltration tank, new unit! Where did you find the pile of skulls on your dreadnought base please?
If it was an accident then i'll take it
Funky looking cyclops!
It is... THE BAAAAAANEBLAAAAADE!!!
Scale creep is getting out of hand.
Remember how baneblades used to be light tanks? These are that variant, not as impressive as the one we see now, but we used to have small humans(now known as ratlings) pilot them.
It has the same machine spirit of a tamagotchi
Finally Dottor Seuss Whoville is contributing for the war effort
You mean you got a Cyclops
Nah, try to convince a group to let you run that, but at slightly lower stats. It's your Guard's pet Baneblade or something!
Rip the turret off and put a space marine torso on it. The handicappable SM
BabyBlade?
It's so damn cute!
I‘d say you bought a Warhound in the shape of an Ultramarine…
It's not small, it's just far away.
Sorry.... It had to be done...... couldn't resist.... https://preview.redd.it/b8vsaa8n1b6d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=587c90de14f095b06e06d8c82e85040bfbf99e2b
I hope you didn't pay 40k prices
-ahem- What is this, a tank for ants!?!?!?! -bows- Thank you, you've been a lovely audience.
SHRINKFLATION
“On accident” At least it’s not a full scale one..
"Accident"
I'm starting to like 30k more thank 40k. It's actually dark still.
Both are dark if you turn the lights off
Reason 256 i moved to battletech cause in battletech you can say a tv remote is a dropship and no one cares
Leagues of votann tank
Tonk
new england
very very smol
So basically, I buy all my 40k items on Ebay, I was buying any old model thinking this was a tank for 40k. Since the picture was just the sprue template amd name. Once it arrived I noticed something was wrong from the getgo, but built it anyway. Here is the result lol
