Hope you guys don't mind me posting this here, but it's GW related... Someone on a portuguese forum found this little gem on Ebay 

Quote
Custom Warhammer 40k Figure. Games Workshop Skull Warrior


 And at least he didn't said it was "pro-painted":

Quote
Description
    
Unusual Warhammer model
This has a skull for a head, a gun for an arm, a space marine jetpack and a spear in its other arm. I believe the green bit is some kind of hardened plastercine which can be painted over, but would be hard to remove

Unfortunately, the seller is UK only :D

Looks like someone was taking the piss put of GW by trying to sell something that looked like a turd... Only someone bought it.

There could be an entire thread dedicated to Ebay monstrosities.

There was one going on Hateseer; pages and pages of sheer eBay stupidity. Also exposed many ripoff artists, quite a fair few recasters too.

Wow, is thought the 500 that I got for my 20 S1 Zombicide minis were expensive!  Yikes!

So the main issue is that at "third party" would profit? So self-tattooing would be okay, as there is no money going to a third party?  ;D

Scurv, that's a hard one, as few pics are clearly labeled as being "red era". Are you looking for fantasy or 40k reference material, you could try googling on the contempory edition of the rules? (2nd for 40K and, what is it. 4th or 5th for fantasy?)
 I think your best bet, though, would be to go through a stack of old White Dwarfs.

It was the era of lots of red on the figs in very overblown highlights and green edged bases.

2nd ed 40k stuff.

The best era!

Do you have all the Codex books and such? They go for dirt cheap, and are great. Also, White Dwarf can be had for next to nothing for those years. I had a full set of 40k books and WD from RT all the way to 5th, all gone now ... It was something to behold! But I enjoyed the 2nd ed stuff the most - the game was the most fun, the most affordable, and had none of that corporate GW bullshit that exists today. Even by third the company and the game was changing.
