Orks and Eldars and … well, just them, for now… April 29, 2008 at 2:05 pm


Two new conversions have made it up onto eBay this week…

First up is a plastic Ork Shokk Attack Gun conversion, featuring the patented ‘box-of-snot ammo delivery system’ to help the Mekboy spend less time chasing around after ammo, and more time zoggin’ the enemy.

Also listed is a female Eldar Autarch conversion, carrying a power weapon and fusion gun, ready to dish out flaming death to all those ‘lesser’ species.

You can find pics of both of these in the Gallery, and the listings in the ‘Current Auctions‘ section.

And as always, feedback on these and anything else you find on the site is always welcome over on the Forums.

Legacy is here! April 6, 2008 at 8:47 am

The latest expansion in the Star Wars Miniatures game, Legacy of the Force is now out!

So, we have a whole bunch of minis from the new set up on eBay this week. You can find them listed in the ‘Current Auctions‘ section.

On a related note, I’ve been experimenting with creating wargaming terrain maps, with the intention of offering finished creations on Cafepress. The first release, a ruined temple suitable for fantasy or scifi gaming, is up now in the Under The Couch Cafepress store here.

This map includes a 1″ square grid overlay, and colour-codex terrain lines for defining walls and obstacles and the like. I will be uploading another version of the map without the coloured terrain lines over the next couple of days.

More maps will follow as I have time to finish them off…

Auctions all over the place… March 12, 2008 at 11:51 am

Bit of a grab-bag of auctions this week, with a slew of stuff from all over the place.

For starters, I’ve finished off a couple of conversion that have been sitting on my workbench for a while: A Space Marine Champion, with twin assault shields to serve as a combat shield/ccw combo, and an Ork Runtherd, complete with a (mostly) sculpted Squighound.

Also listed this week are a bundle of Space Marine, Chaos and Ork bits, and a smattering of Star Wars Minis, mostly from the Force Unleashed, Clone Strike and Rebel Storm sets. I’ve also listed the rulebook and map from the AT-AT set.

Bases and Decals piling up… February 18, 2008 at 10:38 am

Over the course of the last couple of years listing bits on eBay, I’ve wound up accumulating a sizable mound of bases and decals.

To help cut down the mountain a little, I’ve opened an eBay store, listing individual decal sheets and bundles of bases. Bases in stock at the moment include 25mm round (both closed and slotted) and 20mm square clsoed top, in bundles of 10. I’ll list more from time to time, as I have them available.

The store also gives you an easy way of viewing the current bits listings by category. You can find it here.

Speaking of bits listings, I received another bundle of Orks in, so have them up on eBay once again, less a few bits and pieces I kept aside from some conversions.

Also up for grabs this week are a small range of Marine bits, and a bundle of Star Wars minis from the Alliance & Empire, Battle for Hoth and Rebel Storm sets.

You can find all of the listings in the ‘Current Auctions’ section.

Waaagh in the jungle… February 7, 2008 at 1:38 pm


Well, the new Ork codex has me a little excited. It’s great to see a return of a lot of the stuff from 2nd edition that made Orks fun.

But along with the old, there’s a few interesting new characters in there, who seemed like perfect conversion fodder.

So, this week sees the unveiling of the first of a series of Ork conversions I have planned: Boss Snikrot!

Onwards! January 17, 2008 at 11:31 am

Well, the new year has hit the ground running, and so we’re back into full swing here…

The new Orks have landed for Warhammer 40000, so we have nabbed a stack of bits and thrown them up on eBay this week.

Also running at the moment is the usual slew of Star Wars miniatures, including Force Unleashed, Battle For Hoth, Rebel Storm and a few Champions of the Force minis.

You can see all of the current listings in the ‘Current Auctions’ section.

Force Unleashed is… unleashed… November 29, 2007 at 8:47 am

The next expansion for the Star Wars Miniatures game, The Force Unleashed, has arrived, introducing a whole swag of new figures and abilities including a bunch of miniatures based on the upcoming Force Unleashed video game.

Late notice, I know (it’s been a crazy week) but I have the first bundle of figures up on eBay finishing later today, with another lot to be listed shortly.

You can find all the current listings in the ‘Current Auctions‘ section.

Limited Edition Clearout November 11, 2007 at 2:49 pm

I’ve been going through the large collection of Limited Edition models that I have sitting around, and realised that there’s a whole bunch of them that I’m not likely to ever actually do anything with.

So, I’ve winnowed out the ones that I’m not as keen on, and have listed the first lot of them up on eBay this week.

Also listed this week are the components from the new Star Wars Miniatures: Battle For Hoth set, which includes a new map, a Unique AT-ST, and a Hologram version of General Veers.

You can find all of this week’s listings in the ‘Current Auctions’ section.

Going… going… September 22, 2007 at 8:47 am

The march of Chaos continues, with another round of bits listed this week. I also have another copy of the new Chaos Codex up for grabs, along with the usual gaggle of Marine and WHFB Empire parts.

Also listed this week is a bundle of Star Wars minis from the Bounty Hunters set, and a few other miscellaneous minis from other sets, including a big bundle of mixed Fringers and a Darth Vader from the new Starter Set.

You can see all of the listings in the Current Auctions section.

Let the galaxy burn! September 1, 2007 at 8:36 am

The new Chaos Codex is here!

Which means a whole swathe of new plastics to play with!

I’ve just uploaded a bunch of new auctions, including parts from the new Chaos army box. You’ll find parts from the new Lord / Sorcerer set, Possessed, Spawn, Terminators, new regular Chaos Marine bits and upgrades and, of course, the codex.

You can find the listings on the Current Auctions page.
