What I basically meant is, is there a plan B, may someone fall inactive.

Both my recipients have contacted me, so I won't have the problem. Just wanted to get it clear may it happen.

Mutate: I believe Kimzi has done everything fair. I chat with her regularly and she never seemed an unfair person to me.

PS: Yay for another Dutchy to add on the list of Dutch people!

I have no plan B. If people are inactive or forget about the event I guess they will miss it. There is nothing I can really do about that.

When there are two people both waiting for their contacts I guess they can team up and swap minis together. They can use this thread to find each other.

Priced out my shipping (to Kimzi coincidentally) My wife intitally told me it was going to be $37.00 US to send her an IoB Character. I choked on my coffee, and considered just having Kimzi buy a box of rats and keep the change. Then my wife found the REAL prices, brought it down under $5 US.

What are others finding for Shipping Prices?

My 85 cents was to send a mini in a padded envelope from Holland to England. Not very far but I was expecting to pay more than a Euro at least. :P

Minis sent both to and from me. All is ok!
I think I look forward to painting and receiving one equally much. Though:

Buying a skaven mini: few $
Shipping a mini from Norway: more $.
Telling your friends this mini has travelled halfway around the world and back, and been painted "down under"? Priceless.

Yeah, we're looking at 1.85 US for the padded envelop, or $3.00 for the box. I think I'm going to do the box, because then you can use it to ship the finished mini back.

If this all works out I'm thinking about building a "UE enslaved" unit. Considering offering a 'Bounty' per rat + shipping for up to 5 painted Clanrats or slaves, done in the scheme of the sellers army. Then I'll add little chains to their feet, and rank them up as a single Slave unit.

I fully randomised the system so I guess I just got lucky I ended up with a friend. Tbh, I would have been happier with someone who I didn't know, then I would have no idea what to expect! Ah well, now I got to spy on hannanibals house in Google map so everything is good. :D
The invisible stalker. Hannanibal, just keep an eye out for unmanned drones.
TRADE
I'm looking for Dark Eldar to convert into DE. Also looking for bretonnia lances and halberds. If anyone has any they would be interested in trading PM me and we can work something out.


"And, most vivid of all, there was the dramatic epic of the rats––the scampering army of obscene vermin which had burst forth from the castle three months after the tragedy that doomed it to desertion––the lean, filthy, ravenous army which had swept all before it and devoured fowl, cats, dogs, hogs, sheep and even two hapless human beings before its fury was spent. Around that unforgettable rodent army a whole separate cycle of myths revolves, for it scattered among the village homes and brought curses and horrors in its train."

My cost is very low.......

I burrowed an envelope from father's work. I stole a payment-sticker-thing from grandmother and posted my mini in the envelope....... I'm gonna recycle some used bubble plastic to send the model I'm gonna paint back in another envelope........

Guess I'm a cheapo....... :-/

Best part is, Little Wolf should have my model by now or during this day, because of the awesome Dutch postal service. We have orange boxes, throw a letter in and it should be at it's destination within 24 hours.

Worth noting, for those who haven't sent anything yet, that it doesn't have to be a Skaven miniature. It could be anything, as I understand it. Even a vile Space Marine!
