I accept Warhammer donations anywhere in the Albuquerque metro with free pickup — the whole collection across Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy / Age of Sigmar: armies, codices and army books, rulebooks (including the 1987 Rogue Trader first edition), White Dwarf, Specialist Games, Black Library novels, and miniatures whether painted, built, primed, or still on the sprue. You don't sort or price anything. Bring it all, including the out-of-print pieces you might not recognize; I make sure the collectible items are protected and the rest funds New Mexico literacy.

Most people calling me about a Warhammer collection aren't active hobbyists — they're a parent reclaiming a bedroom, someone clearing an estate, or a lapsed player who hasn't picked up a brush in fifteen years and just wants the boxes and the half-painted army out. They don't want to learn which codex edition is which, strip and re-base models, or photograph a hundred miniatures for an auction. They want it gone, and they don't want to throw out something worth real money. That's exactly what I do: I take the whole collection, free, and I sort it out.
What I take: all of it
Everything with a Warhammer or Games Workshop connection — and a lot of people are surprised by the range:
The books and rules
Core rulebooks across every edition of 40,000 and Fantasy / Age of Sigmar (back to the 1987 Rogue Trader and the early Warhammer Fantasy Battle books), codices and army books and battletomes, supplements, campaign books, and the Black Library novels (Horus Heresy, Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, and the rest).
The miniatures
Whole armies, single models, painted, primed, bare plastic or metal, built or still on the sprue; unopened boxes and blisters; the bits box, conversion spares, movement trays, objective markers, and terrain. Old white-metal and lead-era figures absolutely included.
Specialist Games & the rest
Blood Bowl, Necromunda, Mordheim, Gorkamorka, Epic, Battlefleet Gothic, Warhammer Quest, Space Hulk; White Dwarf magazine runs; paints, brushes, and tools; dice, templates, and the cardboard at the bottom of the box. If it came from the hobby, I'll take it.
You don't have to know what's valuable
Here's the reason to call rather than dump: Warhammer collections hide genuinely valuable pieces, and the people clearing them rarely know which. The 1987 Rogue Trader first-edition rulebook — the 286-page hardcover that launched Warhammer 40,000 — is a sought-after collector's piece. Out-of-print white-metal miniatures, early-edition codices and army books, and discontinued Specialist Games (Blood Bowl, Necromunda, Mordheim, Epic, Battlefleet Gothic) can be worth far more than their original price, especially sealed. To someone who never played, all of it looks like old game clutter, and it gets dumped.
You don't have to learn any of it. Bring the whole collection and I'll recognize the early rulebooks, the out-of-print metal, and the discontinued game lines, make sure those are protected, and put the rest to good use. Donating the lot means the hidden value supports literacy instead of going in a skip — and you skip the entire job of identifying it.
Why donate instead of selling it yourself
Selling a Warhammer collection well is a project: identifying edition and provenance, assessing paint and condition, splitting armies into sellable lots, photographing, listing, and carefully packing fragile models for shipping. For a single known trophy that can be worth it; for a mixed collection of books, painted armies, and a bits box, the time rarely pays — which is why so many armies sit in a closet and then get thrown out whole. Donating settles it in one call: no sorting, no grading, no listings, no fragile shipping, free pickup at your door, and it all goes to literacy work in New Mexico. Here's where donations go.
How free pickup works
Call or text 702-496-4214 (or schedule online), tell me roughly how much there is and where you are, and we set a time. I come to you and load everything — you don't have to box it carefully or lift anything. I cover Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, the East Mountains, and the surrounding metro, and I handle whole-house and estate cleanouts, models and books and games in one trip.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I donate Warhammer in Albuquerque?
Right here — free pickup anywhere in the metro for the whole collection: 40K and Fantasy, armies, codices, rulebooks, White Dwarf, Specialist Games, and Black Library novels. Call or text 702-496-4214.
Do I need to know what's valuable?
No. Rogue Trader, out-of-print metal minis, early codices, and discontinued Specialist Games look like old clutter and get tossed. Bring it all; I recognize what matters and the rest funds literacy.
Unpainted sprues and half-painted armies?
Yes — built, painted, primed, bare, or on the sprue, plus paints, bits, terrain, and rulebooks in any condition. Just don't throw any of it out first.
