[Archive] K'daai Destroyer I found on Ebay

Doombeard:

I’ve been away for a few years due to work obligations, this is my first post in a longgggg time.

So I found this during a late-night Ebay browsing session , a Polish guy kit-bashed it together very nicely from a few G.W & F.W kits I believe. He named it wrong in the listing title, calling it a ‘Kadai’. In the end I caved in and bought it, it was about $200, the most I’ve ever spent on a single model. Nobody else bid on it and the listing ended at 7am so I felt like maybe if he had named it correctly and listed it to finish on a Sunday evening it could have possibly gone for more, so I convinced myself in some twisted way I was getting a good deal!

I’ve thought about how much this would cost to make buying the stuff new from legitimate outlets and the price still seems good for that cost, which points me to wonder if the pieces are Chinese copies or something, which he has then recast himself with added sculpting on. This seems the most logical explanation.

It will arrive in a couple days but for now heres the original ebay posting and pics

"Model has been professionally converted. During production uses a lot of expensive parts, among other things, Forge World Bloodthirster as a base, Decimator, Bull Centaurs, Infernal Guards and td

I own a lot of work, during which changed more than 50% of the base model

The model is really big, please see photo 1

materials: resin, greenstuff, Mr. Surfacer

Sold in parts, not glued and not painted."

It has a huge gap on its back where the wings should go , so not sure what I will do about that yet. Will post some clearer pics when it arrives.

Bloodbeard:

Considerinģ what the large FW monsters cost and the ammount of work put into the model, I think you’ve made an okay deal.

It’s a very nice big fellow. Reminds me of the destroyer titan-forge wil put out.

Welcome back to CDO. Do you have a blog around?

TheHoodedMan:

Yes, would be nice to see that monster painted some day!

Yodrin:

Doombeard:

I agree =) I’ve always loved the Bloodthirster model. I’ll kick off a blog now while I have some spare time =)

torn:

that is pretty cool. I dont think $200 is bad really, Im not up to date with forgeworld prices but I imagine the bloodthirster itself costs nearly that anyway.

tjub:

Looks like it would fit great with the Forgeworld CDs, great model!

Wolf :

I have to say, it is an extremely nice model I had a look at the time on eBay.



You have a bargain the thirster model alone costs 144.00 GBP plus postage, so long as it�?Ts not a recast.

As a side note does anyone know which model the Bulls head is from?

Looks like a Bale Taurus from FW, with some added horns and other bitz.

Skink:

I never thought about using bloodthirster parts to make a Destroyer. With a proper paintjob that thing is going to look epic!

Thanks Jorma I believe you are correct that it is the Bale Taurus head, which is embarrassing as I own the actual model.

Malorndk:

Hahaha xD

Doombeard:

I will have to use some LED’s as disco lights and hide a speaker under his base =)

MadHatter:

Great purchase and find! Congratulations :cheers

Zanthrax:

Awesome pick and well worth the cash you paid - now get painting that bad boy.

Abecedar:

It does look pretty well done and will look forward to it being finished.

I’ve spent that much and more previously, but after making our own I couldn,t justify the expense.
