Full Chaos All-Stars team up for charity auction

A game store that is a frequent poster on many of the miniatures forums has a son who needs hearing aids so he can learn to speak.

I've donated a Chaos All-Stars team to the charity auction ... not sure if I'll ever do this again ... but my niece has a similar plight so this one hit me very close to home. She has metal poisoning interfering with her ability to learn to speak and my brother is paying for very expensive treatments to try to help her and I'm doing what I can for him as well.

So this could very well be a pretty rare one of a kind auction if you are interested.

I put a bid in, I can't see it being the highest for long though.

Rex was not part of the team listing in the 2nd editon Star Players book ... he appears only as a side mention in a White Dwarf article.

This is the team that this auction represents.

You didn't need ESP as the auction links to that roster jpg.

Dave... that is extremely generous. Thank you. I'll send you the email address for the parent and you can let them know. (I think she can edit the auction to add a note on this.)

Hello all,
I am the mother of the child that this auction is benefiting (little 2-year-old miniature hobbyist in training Alexander).

@GalakStarscraper Thank you for this auction, it's a wonderfully rare army that someone has the chance to win and will be a good step forward for Alex's funds.

@Dave This is a truly wonderful addition to the auction and very generous of you.

Maya~

The offer is greatly appreciated. But they told me that the current auctions (like the Chaos All-Stars that ends this week) will cover the last bit of money they need to raise.

Thank everyone for their support! And thanks for the offer Andy.

Final 7 hours of the auction.

I'm pretty sure this auction will pretty much guarantee that they have the money they need by Christmas for the hearing aids ... so thanks to everyone that helped either by bidding on this auction, donating something to the cause, or buying one of the auction items she was selling.

Scuse my ignorance, but there are three base sizes in the photos on the listing. Normal 25mm size, big 40mm size, but what are those inbetweeny size bases? 30mm? And more importantly, where do I get some? :)

Edit: ok I just checked on impact! and found them :D
