15mm Sky Barge (*cough* Dark Eldar Raider *cough*)

Horribly lit. I'll get the wife to re-take them. 

At least you can see the 15mm figure on the deck in this one.
I'll have to make myself one of those light boxes to eliminate glare.

Remember a time before Finecast?
Remember a time when GW didn't 'price fix' by banning retailers from selling outside the region?*
*Price in Australian dollars $55 ($57 US Dollars)
*Price in UK pounds 20.5 (after conversion) $31.55
These used to be available from Wayland Games and Maelstrom for free shipping..... for the UK price
So someone is making an extra $ 23.45 (or 57% markup)
I bought this model for around $25 pre price hike about a year ago... I wish I had stockpiled them!
Anyways this is the basis for my Witch Corsairs force for Tomorrow's War.  They work in "Nines" - 2 x 3 man fire teams and a 3-man heavy shardcannon team. These groups can be combined into larger 6 or 9 man forces.

EDIT:  Here's the TW stats
Witch Corsairs TQ8 Confidence 6 (they don't like stiff resistence)
Active trauma nanites (they heal with vampire-like rapidity)
Augmented senses (they can psychically sense enemies)
Old school (they don't need the grid)
Despised

"Coven of Nine"
3 man fireteam (projectile)
3 man fireteam (projectile)
3 man heavy weapons team (AP: 3 AP: 2 light)

I'd like to have have three sail barges - one per coven but.... at $110... just no

Interestingly, the 30 or so 15mm models came to $18...
The same amount of GW 28mm would have come to $144

The difference in cost  ($126) would allow me to buy a complete 15mm city from JR Miniatures
