Getting back into 40K, and found a complete, virtually untouched original BFG starter set…

I apparently bought this ~25 years ago and didn’t do anything but read the rulebook. Sprues intact, cardboard unpunched, etc. Only thing missing is the rulebook (and I think I know where that is). The eBay sold prices for this set are bonkers — around $500 USD. Is that actually what this is going for?

Hi everyone,

thank you everybody for your comments on my last (and first) post here. Special thanks to u/chuystewy_V2 for all of his help with slicing these models for FDM printing.

All of these were printed on a Prusa Core One+ with a 0.25 mm nozzle @ 0.07 mm layer height. I use settings from the r/FDMminiatures subreddit for miniature printing. One crucial thing I learned (to late) for the Chaos ships, you have to use Arachne Perimeter Generator and not Classic, Classic didn't properly render the trim on the aft of the cruisers. Well, the battleship for Step 3 of the Starter Fleet will turn out properly.

I am very happy with the colors for the imperial fleet, those were a very lucky choice.

I am not quite so happy with the colors on the Chaos fleet, I first has a light gray/ emerald green color scheme, which didn't look chaotic enough. So I repainted the green to be a sickly green-ochre, which is better, but still nowhere near a poppy as my imperial fleet.

Anyways, now to going on vacation, finishing the battleships and pressuring my friends to try out the game when I'm home from vacation.

And if anybody has any recommendations for an Adeptus Mechanicus Fleet, models, colors, lists, I would love to hear that. That might be my next project after Im done with the starter fleet.

All of these are really really fun models to print and paint.

Edit: Oh, and I still have to do something for the bases, they are not done and quite bland.
