Used Warhammer 40k Captain: What to Check

Quick answer

Inspect the heavy bolt rifle assembly, base condition, and paint job before buying a used Warhammer 40k Captain. This model is sold as-is, so knowing what to look for saves you from surprises.

5 decision rules for buying a used Warhammer 40k Captain

• Check the heavy bolt rifle: Look at the rifle barrel and stock for cracks, missing parts, or poor glue joints. A broken or missing rifle is hard to replace.
• Inspect the base and legs: Ensure the model stands flat on its base. Wobbly or broken legs can require pinning or a new base.
• Look for paint coverage: Check that the paint does not obscure details like the captain's insignia or weapon. Heavy paint can hide damage.
• Verify assembly quality: Look for gaps, glue residue, or missing parts. A poorly assembled model may need disassembly and re-gluing.
• Assess if you can fix it: If the model has minor issues but the price is right, decide if you are willing to repair it. Some collectors prefer untouched models. If you are not comfortable with repairs, look for a model that appears complete and undamaged.
