Marketplace Hunting: A Tempting Slaves to Darkness Lot
Sometimes the best hobby finds come from a quick message
This time it was one of those classic hobby moments: someone spots a good deal, drops a message, and suddenly another project starts looking very tempting.
Michał spotted a Slaves to Darkness army lot on a marketplace group and immediately passed the info on to Pegi. For 400 PLN, the seller was offering quite a mix:
- 10 Chaos Warriors
- 20 Reavers
- 2 bosses with dogs
- a flail guy
- a standard bearer
- an Underworlds warband
- around 5 infantry with two-handed weapons
That is the kind of listing that makes us stop whatever we are doing and start counting value in our heads.
The real fuel behind these purchases: previous success stories
What made the recommendation even stronger was the fact that Michał had already scored big there before. As he put it, he had bought roughly 2500 PLN worth of Slaves to Darkness for 800 PLN, with free shipping on top.
Honestly, this is exactly why hobby marketplace groups are so dangerous. One good deal leads to another, and suddenly we are all “just having a look”.
Step one: get into the group
Pegi thanked Michał for the heads-up and asked for an invite if it was a Facebook group. Michał sent it over right away, with the only catch being that the admin still had to approve the request.
A very relatable part of the second-hand hobby experience: first you find the deal, then you wait for the gatekeepers of the marketplace.
Why we love posts like this
We really enjoy these little moments in the hobby. Not every exciting update is a finished army or a fully painted unit. Sometimes it is just a friend saying: “hey, there is a suspiciously good Chaos lot over here”.
And honestly, those messages can be just as important. They save money, open up new army ideas, and keep the whole group plugged into the endless flow of second-hand Warhammer treasures.
Will this particular bundle turn into a full project? That part was still undecided in the conversation. But as far as bargain alerts go, this one definitely deserved a write-up.
