Is anyone interested in buying in some Epic Chaos boxes with me? I'm interested at minimum... 32 Chaos Termies, 64 Khorne beserkers and 60 Noisemarines (about 2 retinues worth each ) and some Bloodletters and maybe some of the havocs and standard marines - but this requires me to buy 7 boxes!! So I was hoping perhaps others might like to go in on the purchase and grab the other minis on the sprues for their own armies. 6 Chaos boxes would have: 12 Chaos Space Marine command groups, 36 stands of Chaos Space Marines, 12 stands of Havocs, 12 stands of Chaos Terminators, 12 stands of Noise Marines, 12 stands of Khorne Beserkers, 24 stands of Cultists, 24 stands of Beastmen, 12 stands of Flesh Hounds, 12 stands of Bloodletters, 12 stands of Daemonettes, 12 stands of Plaguebearers and 12 stands of Tzeentch and a box costs approximately $22US = roughly $23AUD plus postage. Basically, we're looking at $160 odd dollars before postage. If anyone is interested let me know Cheers all!

Id be interested in going in for some of it if you were wanting to split it, any of this left over after you had taken what you wanted: 36 stands of Chaos Space Marines, 12 stands of Havocs, 24 stands of Cultists & 12 stands of Plaguebearers But I guess, wait and see if anyone wants to go halves first

I was thinking multiple people might want in. It doesn't have to be just 2 blokes. At this stage it's just you and me mate

I definately have an interest in this. Timing is an issue as I'm due to be buying some leftover bits and pieces from a fellow player soon but I'm not 100% sure what that will entail. I'd be most interested in Terminators, Chaos Marines, Cultists and Khorne Beserkers. Not sure when I can be more specific. Hopefully I can be part of this and help save us all on postage .

Yeah I don't have a definite time frame on this Onyx. I was hoping to garner support before any decision is made. 2 more people so far is good though and we could definitely increase the number of boxes if it's required.
If folks can work out a list of the stuff they specifically want this will be a easier, however.

Hey mate. Yeah, unfortunately I don't know exact numbers yet. I'll try and find out soon. Another option is to buy boxes from ChaosOrc (just got an email from him thismoring stating that international sales are back on but at a slightly higher postage cost . He's got 9 boxes of the latest version in stock at $19.80US. Postage should probably be cheaper than GW and there won't be any GST on it either (something that GWUS are apparently now charging Australian orders - see my thread on Wargamer in the Off Topic section). Might save a few dollars (and as long as we keep the order fairly simple Andrew might actually get it right ... ).

Yeah I was looking at chaos orc but found i couldn't order internationally. If that's changed I'd probabaly go with him.

I'd be quite happy to go with the whole lot of what I originally posted, Im a bit like Onyx as I dont know what I need and I also need to work it out with the adding of the regular SM's that it is already set up with.
I guess I'd also be interested in some more Termies, probably 18 as Im putting 3 per stand and that would give me another 6 stands

At this stage mate I was just gauging interest but will look at doing it closer to christmas I think. Unless interest takes off and people want to get them sooner. I'm easy really.

If you wanted to get the boxes from GW, there is a bloodbowl mini seller who has offered to get the stuff for people with free postage if they buy through him. Only catch is, you have to pay first, then wait about 6-8 weeks to receive the item.
I am interested in boxed stuff for chaos as well, yet will need some time to consider exactly what I need.

No worries frogbear. I could possibly save us all postage as my in-laws are coming from Canada at Xmas. They live ten minutes from Canadian GW HQ - who do orders. There will of course be a limit on how much they can bring with them (baggage space and import etc). I just need a lead time to get that organised so I would say November 15 will be the cut off for anyone wanting chaos stuff if you're keen on going in on this. Basically sort out what you guys need minimum by Nov 15

Ok heres a rough idea of what I'd be looking at getting:
CSM: 96 Lords/Champions: 3 Icons/ Standard: 3 Havocs: 16 Plague Bearers: 25 - 30 Termies: 27 Cultists: As many as I can get...
Let me know how that will work in.

Cool. Ok so far what seems to be left from 7 boxes (after my selection and Gump's) is:
82 CSM (16 bases of 5) 54 Havocs (almost 11 bases) 11 Termies (2 bases) 6 Berserkers (1 base) 38 Bloodletters(7 bases) 40 Plague Bearers (8bases) 46 Daemonettes (9 bases) 70 Flamers (14 bases) 38 Flesh Hounds (7 bases) 7 standards 7 Lords 7 Icon bearers 140 Beastmen (28 bases) these could be used as cultists btw...
On cost breakdown, I think the easiest way to work it out is if we pay per mini. it works out as US13.75 cents each figure as there's 160 minis per box.
So for example Cthulhu wants 305 minis = $41.94US. I want 304 minis = $41.80US. There's 1120 minis from 7 boxes.. leaving
If some minis aren't wanted I think those who go in on the purchase will probably have to split them evenly to make things fair. e.g if no one wants 140 beastmen and 3 people go in then everyone gets 46 odd beastmen each (I'm happy to miss the odd numbers when it becomes an uneven split).
Anyway, is anyone else interested with what's left?
Otherwise Cthulhu it'll look like about $77 US each for a two-man split.
Let me know lads

Im easy and happy to do it either way (50/50 split or share out the rest at that price) Let me think about it and I might add some more to the list .
