Miniatures may be Lead or White metal, some parts may be plastic or resin. Items will be carefully and professionally packaged in bubble wrap and sent in a Jiffy bag. Metal miniatures are stripped (unless sold as New or Painted), so you can see exactly what you are getting. The picture shows the standard of the item that you will receive, likely not the actual one that you will receive. The picture may show a painted item so you can see what the figure can look like with time and effort. I try to get all items reconditioned back to what they were when originally sold. Any lead rot, it's binned. Damaged or poorly cast items are either binned, or if sold then they are clearly labelled as damaged, as people may want these for conversions. Books are sold as Reconditioned, if they are second hand, or New if they are mint.
Additional pictures may show the reverse of item but you only get one of what is shown in the main listing picture. If additional pictures show other items then they will be included. The listing may state "Dwarf 7 Dwarf Dwarves" this means that the original catalogue description was Dwarf 7 and the other descriptors are so people searching can find what they want. Please read full description for exactly what you will receive though, and please be aware that bases are usually not included unless shown in the picture. Item received may be darker than shown, as the camera flash can make the item look brighter.
Sorry, but I don't take offers on the price. Please don't contact me asking to buy items cheaper than shown, because if I start to, then I'll be inundated with different people E-Mailing me, which it's nice to chat, but I'd never get anything done. Not that I'm big business, it's just me in the back room. I do not sell fakes/copies. I wouldn't want to be ripped off myself, and wouldn't rip off others. I've been in contact with Games Workshop in the past, for their advice over this, I will report people who do, and will continue to do so. Fakes are theft. People who do so are stealing, and make peoples collections worthless. If you see it, report it.
COMBINED POSTAGE OFFERED: Please use the basket and then request the combined invoice that will save you money. If E-Bay won't let you request an invoice, use E-Bay.co.UK & not E-Bay.COM or other E-Bay sites. If unable to use the basket, commit to buy each item BUT DO NOT PAY, wait, and I'll send an invoice to you.

1997 Babylon 5 Gaim Reska Light Fighter Fleet Action ACTA A Call to Arms Bab 5.
This listing is for a single Gaim fighter base of 6 fighters, for the Babylon 5 tabletop wargame. These are actually Raider Delta-V flights, but can be used by the Gaim (I personally prefer the Gaim Light and Heavy Fighters, which I also have up for sale). If bases are not shown, then they are not included (partly because many people have their own preference for which type they want). The Gaim I feel were one of the hardest fleets to obtain? I may be wrong, but they didn't seem to come up for sale anywhere near as much as many others for the game. Personally I thought the Gaim Fleet stood out from all the others in design compared to every other race (my two fleets were Gaim and Vree, and I actually painted up a fair few of the latter!). Certain ships that are not true Gaim, so from other races and used by the Gaim don't cut it for me. I went out and bought a full fleet, I think 3 Armageddon points? It might have been more, but I wanted to be able to play absolutely any combination, as usually you are limited by what you have. The only issue with the Gaim was the amount of fighter bases the ships chuck out. I bought a proportion of the light and heavy fighters, but to have enough fighters to field the whole fleet, even half of it, you just couldn't get enough table space to fit them on! Even using them as the missiles, you'd still need a load painted up. Anyway, I never painted the fleet, and the people I played with have moved on. I haven't played for years, so rather than them sit here for many more years, I might as well get them to someone who really wants them.
Agents of Gaming along with Mongoose were involved in various space ship battle games. The Babylon 5 Wars (B5W) and Fleet Action game were done by Agents of Gaming, with the A Call To Arms (ACTA) game being done by Mongoose. I think you'll find that all the ships I have up for sale at this time can all be used in the larger A Call to Arms game. The ships were in two different scales with some of the earlier Agents of Gaming miniatures being repurposed for the later A Call To Arms game. So if you are looking for Bab 5 miniatures for the game, then you are looking out for anything with 'ACTA' in the title, also any Babylon 5 Wars ship that is not a fighter, and then any Fleet Action that IS actually a fighter. That way they'll all be the same scale, and you won't get a fighter that is bigger than a major ship in the game. To give an example, the Babylon Five Wars scale Tzymm fighters were later repurposed and sold as the Xaar patrol boat for ACTA.
Regards these metal bases, I like the weight of them, as they don't move on the table, but they were always subject to poorer moulding, and you also have the mould line on them. I ended up cleaning up a few, and it was 20 minutes each one. I take my time and want the sides all uniform and that's just not practical for me. So I went and commissioned someone to print them in ABS plastic. They can be purchased here:

If you want these black plastic flight bases heavier, then you can fill them easily with base weighting beads, so then they perform both functions, aesthetic and practical use. The beads can be seen here:
and a cheaper deal here:
Also very useful if you are tired of your plastic models falling over. Plastic models with plastic bases can fall over, or be easily toppled or moved in gameplay. Very noticeable with the Standards or banner bearers.
