I love Warhammer, but I have no idea how players afford it beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 07/10/2011 01:19:37 AM
So. freaking. expensive.


The few times I played it- it was AWESOME- I spent forever making my armies. One was a human army defending a castle, with some excellent catapults and a sweet wizard that I put on a flying horse that threw down flasks of acid on people. In 40k, I don't quite remember what I used- a hodgepodge of Imperium units, I think, with some extremely effectively used snipers.

But, yeah. We were using my roommate's cousin's old figurines. I looked up the prices for some new stuff, and just one squad was like 30 bucks. Considering the army I fielded had like 9 squads, not counting a few special vehicles and special units (soldiers in giant, indestructible armor? That sounds familiar), there's no way I could have afforded to do the kind of army creation and mix 'n' matching I would have wanted.
I amuse myself.

That's better than having a big wet pile in your drawers somewhere. *NM* - 10/10/2011 10:29:15 PM 343 Views

Ever since we got the Dwarven Forge boxes, it's mostly power-gaming to be honest - 06/10/2011 12:19:25 PM 788 Views
The miniature version, certainly. - 06/10/2011 03:27:59 PM 551 Views

200 bucks, for one army. Yeah... I'm good. - 07/10/2011 04:36:03 AM 542 Views
$200 is chump change for entertainment hobbies. - 07/10/2011 01:46:55 PM 674 Views
It's not insane, but I'm the kind of person who would want to play with a variety of armies - 07/10/2011 02:25:38 PM 520 Views
Yeah, that makes it a bit more difficult. *NM* - 07/10/2011 07:08:44 PM 253 Views
