So, I have put it in my head that I need to amass a library of wargame books. I have a pretty decent collection of books already, and I am trying to fill in a few blanks (well, quite a few. :lol:). I am only interested in the core rulebooks, not any expansions that may have been released (such as faction books, books full of scenarios, etc). Why in the world do I want all of these? Just cuz I can. :devil:

I don't have lots of money to spend. With shipping, I've been trying to keep it around $10 per book. I know that isn't everyone's cup of tea, and some people's books ARE worth more than approximately $5. That's cool. I get it. ^_^ I'm just trying to get those books from people that are tired of having them sit around and want Taco Bell lunch money for them. :lol:

Anyways, here is my list of books I am looking for, in no particular order:

Games Workshop
  • Warhammer Epic
  • Battlefleet Gothic
  • Blood Bowl
  • Gorkamorka
  • Inquisitor
I-Kore
  • Celtos
Ambush Alley Games
  • Force on Force
Spartan Games
  • Uncharted Seas
  • Firestorm Armada
  • Dystopian Wars
Mongoose Publishing
  • A Call To Arms: Starfleet
  • A Call To Arms: Noble Armada
  • Judge Dredd
  • Victory At Sea
  • Battlefield Evolution
Target Games/Excelsior Entertainment
  • Chronopia
If anyone has any of these they are willing to sell and ship to me, please PM me and we'll discuss it from there. Thanks for playing! ::D:

Are you looking for the current editions or are you looking for older editions just to fill the space with? Older editions I might be willing to part with for that kind of money. Some of those are way to popular right now or are just plain collectible at this point. I won't let go of my copy of Inquisitor until someone can pry it from my cold dead hands.

Older editions are fine. Occassionally a company will completely redo the way their game system works. Warlord was pretty close to that when they rebooted with "2.0". I'm not looking to have an updated-to-the minute collection. My Warhammer Fantasy and 40K rulebooks are least a revision old (if not 2 by now!). Most of the time the basic way the game plays stays the same. I just like reading through them and comparing one game to another.

And yes, some of them are collectible, I know that. ::P: But, if your copy of Inquisitor was missing it's cover, you should be thanking me for offering $5 for it. ::P: LMAO!!! :lol:

True, true, but its not! I have some of the others but I'll have to go through them and see if I'm willing to part with them yet. I am a natural born pack rat, it comes from having a grandfather who was a farmer but was more interested in the mechanical and electrical side of things than actually farming.

It dawned me a little bit ago that I need to do something related to my opening post! Should I score some books off of people, then I will remove those books from the list. That way I don't receive multiple offers for the same book and it keeps you current on my status. Thanks everyone for reading! ::):
