So, how many did you order?
>>
>>50303396
How long are they available?
>>
>>50303420
1 week, according to the email I got.
>>
>>50303396
If you care about them, you would had them before they got discontinued.

Yes I saw that line of thinking in a SoB thread. Poor bastard.
>>
It's almost sad how bad the newer daemonettes look compared to these.
>>
>>50303476
Except daemonettes didn't get axed, they got replaced with plastic, so that's a shit analogy.

Also, just because you buy all the metal daemonettes when they were available doesn't mean you won't get a need to get more of them in the future. Or maybe you weren't into Warhams when they were available?
>>
>>50303396
>buying from GW
Are you a gay?
>>
>>50303396
Four boxes. I already have 20 from a failed noisemarine army way back and 60 seem a solid start to fil a battle line requirement for AoS with three units of 20 each.
Also, four boxes of seekers, because why the hell not.

Now I just need a decent replacement for the Keeper of Secrets, which has always kinda looked like ass.

>>50303576
Keeper of secrets have always been a bovine headed monstrosity rather than some giant titty monster.
It's the musk and all the shit in the aura that surrounds it that makes it entice people.

Yet the official model comes with a non-cow head and art depicts them in different looks.
>>
>>50303396
Should I order 5 or 10 seekers? I'd probably use 2 or 3 for a Kill Team (HoR) and the rest for conversions.

On the other hand, they are £27.50, which is slightly steep.

Agreed. We need a new Keeper of Secrets.

I can't stand both the old GW shit nor the FW cheesecake.

It deserves a proper model.

None because I'm not a GW drone that eats up whatever they shit out.
Honestly, fucking control yourselves.

>>50303396
30 nets and 10 seekers.
>>50303497
I always thought Slaanesh were about having this fucked up beauty, but the newest models just looks ugly.
even though the very old ones had claws as well I rather prefer the stab arm instead because they look more elegant.
>>
>>50303927
Then what are You doing in a thread about one of GW's exlusive products ? Just to whine about how special You are and bis shit Gee dubs is ?
>>
>>50303396
Two boxes, plus one box of the mounted Seekers. I already have 20 on foot and a single random Seeker, so that gives me enough for two full units of infantry and a small 6-girl Cavalry squad. Combine that with the FW Keeper of Secrets and that'll make a nice fluffy core for my Daemon army.

0/10 boxes for you.

I got just one squad of each, would have liked to grab at least 2 preferably 3 of each but that was too much for me to stomach. I'll still have some more daemonettes, but I wont be starting an army out of them.

None. I already had a dozen from back in the day when they got first released.

The only thing GW has ruined so far is ending their contract with Fantasy Flight which literally kills of 40K/Fantasy RPG, Card Games and some Board Games.

The overall art quality has massively fallen, there is no excuse for that. Some of the books are just lazy and embarrassing from a company that used to have overall excellent art. They also hardly ever draw things they don't have models for which is awful.

Also defending a company that is actively trying to price itself out of the market is stupid.

Again, its still all your own personal opinions you post here anon´s. If you cant see that, I cant really help you. I know you both want to believe its the "truth", because you posted it as such, but I'm afraid its still just your own opinion.

As for the art, that entirely up to the person who views it. Do I think its good? Some are, some ain't. Do I have any imagination that my viewing of what is good and what is not, have any substantial value as "facts"? No, because I'm not an art critic, and I know its just my opinion as such.

And while you might think its expensive, others may not. Some people have no need to get a 4k army on the table stat, but enjoy this hobby using a simple budget. Some people are just in it to paint, and settles for a box a month. Some people earn more money then you. I mean, the arguments against your "facts" is endless.

Same applies to your opinion on the rules. Simply because you think everyone who played this game, view it from your perspective. "you can only win if you pick the right formation!", well.. Ill hit you with this, what If I'm not in it to win? What If I'm simply playing the game to socialize with fiends, or to build deep scenarios, or don't even play with points (as the game was meant to be), or if I just do it as a fun factor but my true hobby is painting. Again, the arguments against your "facts" are endless, to the point of making you look silly.

Now I'm all for posting your own personal opinions of the game you enjoy, and all your thought of what is right and wrong in the matter. But please, do it with some class of admitting its your opinion, not the "facts" laid down on the table.

I already was lucky enough to have an old metal squad.

And honestly, I just bought that for the sake of having it. I don't even play Chaos or Daemons - at best I might bring out one of the girls if a librarian gets possessed or something.

Great butts though. Like, holy fuck, anyone who says GW can't sculpt females would take it back upon gazing at those asses.

So your saying, a player who decides to play for fun. He simply enjoys the game for what it is, and has no interest in breaking the game (which is so easy a 7 year old could potentially do it), has no right to think its a good game?
See, for that person, it is a good game, how ever you argue, because it fills his needs.

I get it, you wont buy that your opinions are in fact just that, personal opinions. And I get it, you will still argue that your thoughts are facts no matter the comeback. I just personally think your wrong in the matter.

You were asking for the definition and i gave it to you, i never really cared about the discussion between you and that other anon.

Anyway, all of my GW stuff is at least higher middle class ( 6,9/10) quality, but yeah, the prices are higher than i would like them to be. In my opinion WH40k is more fun than Warmhordes and Infinity, but i am probably biased, i admit that.

>>50306868
>writing and art quality are subjective
You can't be this retarded, surely? Have you had an overdose of AoS?
I agree that GW is looking up at the moment, but hell, there IS criteria for judging art and writing. Most of the new art is just shit. To show something is lit, they just paint white, or mix the overall colour with white. That is NOT how light & colour work, and is a trademark of low skilled painters.

And don't get me started on the writing. It's never been amazing, but lately is even more of a teenage mary sueish power fantasy.

There wer a lot of Satr Wars games before FFG, but only FFG made real "GW killer", so I think FFG make something right.
>>
>>50307514
Its rules are an unbalanced clusterfuck that would have Matt raise eyebrows. A level 1 Ironbreaker is virtually unkillable unless the DM draws one of those bullshit insta-kill critical injury cards.

Speaking of which, critical injuries ran the gammut from 'slight debilitation' to 'completely useless to the rest of the party and nigh-impossible to get rid of' or even 'you're dead, fuck HP' based purely on chance. They were shit and the definition of not fun.

The game's dice mechanics are cool though.

i hope i am not mixing things up, but there are three things that i really dislike. The first thing is that you dislike is the fact that you dont make your own saving throws, the second is that i dislike most of their miniature, they look strange and comic like ( a problem some GW models also suffer from ) and the third is the Meta. All Warmhordes i`ve met so far were try hard Powergamers and also " that guy`s" who just played the game to show how much they dislike GW and how much better they are. My local 40k meta is pretty friendly compared to that.

Unlike Warmhordes infinity was fun, but i only played 3 games. The minis were actually good looking, more or less on par with GW, but i had less fun with infinity because it didnt felt as good as 40k does. I know thats pretty much the worst argument ever. Infinitys background is kinda generic ( as far as i know ) and i really like narrative games, maybe thats why it was less fun

Ugh, look at those ugly things. So overdesigned. The actual Daemonettes have a lot more smooth skin and cloth, not all the grossly ornate metal.
>>
>>50307661
>It's more sport-focused, but nothing else.
Maybe your local community is better, but mine is filled with a crowd that cares about winning and nothing else. Can't even have a fun conversation about the world, since nobody reads the lore, and gods forbid you don't paint your army in the standard colours.

>Explain please.
There's... a shell of a story, but nothing really done to expand on it, draw me in. Maybe the RPG will change that, but so far the world just doesn't really have an appeal to me. There's a lot of names and places, but they all just seem detached from one another rather than create a narrative.

>Yeah "here lava/ice/light world" setting in another Space Marines novel much better than usual sci-fi with 80's cyberounk and anime influence.
At least there I've actually been able to read a couple of stories in the world. It's a pale imitation of the depth that WHFB has, but even that pale imitation is more than I got out of Infinity.

Well the game is made for it, for cool and interesting battles.
>Infinitys background is kinda generic
Yes, but actually no, they just focused on more fresh references than original 40k, but hey it's 2016, Appleseed, GiTS already old.
And after all there is no such things as a lot of classic cyberpunk settings.

You mean what? IMO but Infinity provides one of the best narrative games, rules interesing and almost always allow you to use likeable units.

Irony, but you almost described my experience with new GW novels, "just bunch of generic decoration which would be totally irrelevant for the plot and setting once novel is ended", except the fact that CB didn't publish novel to expand the setting, but unlike GW there are few really important places in setting, and the whole setting much more local or smaller without shitton of noname cloned planets.

Maybe for Warmahordes, but when I talk with 40K players I can spend hours just chatting about the lore. I like chatting about lore.

That might actually be the root of why I don't really care for the Infinity world: There's little to nothing to care about.

Speaking of good KoS replacement, anyone has conversion ideas to make a KoS from another kit ?

I frequently play at my local GW and eventho the manager is pretty chill I would prefer to keep it mostly made out of GW kits.

So far the Skaven Verminlord seem to be a strong contender but I'm afraid it will be too much green stuff work to make it look good, especially with all that fur to trim down.

Any ideas ?

Also, 40k still have shitton of good thing in lore, but mostly it's old parts which lies deep in lore, new one is mostly wasted potential.
Irony, but Infinity making the same as 40k did, collecting references and things from old popular fiction.
>>
>>50307987
>It's for whole genre, which called wargames, not RPG.
And yet, in my 40K community I can spend hours chatting about lore. I can't do the same in my Warmahordes community, so I spend more time with my 40K friends than my Warmahordes friends, and as a result play more 40K than Warmahordes.

Pity, because I do like Warmahordes lore.

I don't like it much actually, It looks like a huge daemonette, I'm more going for something between that and the current GW outdated kit.

Also, the FW one is way too big to my taste and all these thin resin parts look like they would break at the first occasion

FW Keeper is still the best.

If you don't mind a weedy Keeper, the Deceiver with some nette claws would probably do a really good job and be an easy conversion. The fack that he's floating makes him fit better on a bigger base anyway.
>>
>>50308039
>Army fith their own fluff? Battle with some backstory?
that is mostly what i do. its just more fun, especcialy if you mix in some additional rules fitting the lore. The defending imperial army may take more fortifications while the attacking orks may gain bonuses for every destroyed Sentinel because in the last battle a sentinel killed their leader.
This battles may also be part of a campaign with multiple players, but usually that doesnt work as intended
>>
>>50307987
>It's for whole genre, which called wargames, not RPG.
So why would you even care about which game is better, you have nothing tying you to the games as you have no interest in the lore. It seems you're just trying to be contrarian and say Warhammer is bad with no real arguments, when the other anons are saying that you can believe whatever you want, but this is why they love it. Wargaming is about your guys, their stories, their impact in the world they're in. I want to feel like my army means something and that Captain Obermach of Epsilon Co. 753rd Retandan Infatry Regiment is a real character. Or that that lowly gunner who fought back against against 5 enemies in close combat winning the day can be promoted to Sergeant. Wargames are just lucky chess without a story to tie yourself to them, and honestly if that's what you're looking for chess is the better game.
>>
>>50308121
>if you mix in some additional rules fitting the lore.
And that's why I think Infinity one of the best narrative games, the ruleset perfectly reflects differences between armies and forces you to use it.
>>50308128
>with no real arguments,
My real arguments is simple:
- Rules bad
- Fluff writing getting worse and worse.
>I want to feel like my army means something and that Captain Obermach of Epsilon Co. 753rd Retandan Infatry Regiment is a real character.
But guess what? Your army in army means nothing in setting.
>and honestly if that's what you're looking for chess is the better game

According to 7e Warhammer Fantasy, Daemonettes look like what they are but use a glamour to appear as idealized fey-like versions.

So the "true form" of a Daemonette is a reflection of what kind of Daemonette they are from an asskissing servant to a fatass to a meth addict to an inbred bimbo retard, which is their scary face which is sort of what the new models are supposed to reflect. Pic basically related, the "true form" of a Daemonette reflects their soul.

BUT

Mortals only see that face before the Daemonette kills them, or if you somehow see their true selves with magic or godlike insight or something. These old Daemonettes are the face everyone normally sees.

So to put it another way: the oldest Daemonettes with the bug eyes and fuckhueg claws and the new Daemonettes with the banshee Elf faces are like what they are on the inside. The ones GW just rereleased are the thing that everyone other than Primarchs, Chaos Undivided beings like Archaon, and certain badass Wizards see when they look at the.
>>
>>50307725
To be fair, those are the old sculpts. The new ones look like mutation.

Also, their Musician plays the fiddle, so at the very least that single model is superior, and all Daemonette players should have one.
>>
>>50307615
That's not bad, but in no way is that Warhammer.

That looks like the artwork for some game on Kickstarter, or something made by Coolmini.

Warhammer Elves are more creepy and fey than outright attractive.

Hey everyone! I found the faggot!

>>50314695
Because its a different world.

Malekith, now a dragontaur, has full control of the race and doesn't have to compete with Chaos worship, Khaine worship, or Morathi since she has Daemons now. So there's no reason for their society to be split along gender lines, because the only way a female differs from a male to Malekith now that he's post-sorcerer prophesy is that he can fuck the females with his three foot spiny black dragon cock.

Seriously, think about it. To all Elves, there's only Tyrion, Teclis, Malekith, and Sigmar as gods.

Warhammer was a compelling setting because it was grounded in the Empire and their Renaissance, not-history aesthetic. It was interesting and unusual. Random assorted jumble of warring planes is nonsense and I couldn't be less interested.

I don't particularly like the new Daemonettes but they do look more befitting of Slaanesh than these neckbeard fantasy crab-ladies.
IMO GW just needs to repose their current crab ladies to look a little more dynamic. The floating hair shit doesn't fit these static models. They could communicate the speed and deadliness of crab ladies by giving them poses more like the harlequins with them preparing to lunge forward. Give those extended tibia and metatarsus bones a purpose instead of making them look like tools standing around and scowling.

That and GW needs to learn how to define Slaanesh without resorting to slapping 20+ titties on her and clamping nipple rings etc. She/He's a god of excess and extrasensory not just orgies and torture
>>
>>50315502
>look more befitting of Slaanesh than these neckbeard fantasy crab-ladies
A valid opinion, but a minority one. I think most people would be fine with less titty if though hadn't simultaneously made them so ugly. The smooth, noseless faces are just the right combination of alluring and otherworldy.

>excess and extrasensory
40k has Noise Marines. But there isn't really a fantasy equivalent.

I know it's mostly because the context has changed that makes me salty, but I don't like what they did with Strigoi. Turned them into a lolrandum faction instead of vampires on the fringes, struggling to cobble together even a pale shadow of what nobility they'd lost.

>I think most people would be fine with less titty if though hadn't simultaneously made them so ugly. The smooth, noseless faces are just the right combination of alluring and otherworldy.

While it's true that they just look fugly without noses, I think you gotta consider that they're daemons and therefore aren't really meant to be waifus. Maybe GW noticed that compared to plaguebearers, bloodletters and horrors, daemonettes looked oddly too human and therefore too pretty to be daemons. I think the weird faces were their attempt to put the daemon back in daemonette. Personally I think the Masque is the perfect vision of what a daemonette ought to look like: just shaped enough to look roughly feminine and human but also give off the "I'll-eat-your-face" demon vibe
>>
>>50315724
>I think you gotta consider that they're daemons and therefore aren't really meant to be waifus
Daemonettes canonically are in Fantasy. Not so much 40k, but Slaanesh sends Daemonettes as servants in Fantasy to his followers not as warriors but as providers of pleasure.
>>
>>50315642
No, it was one of the many many many dropped plot points.

Malekith was felled in the end of Fantasy by falling and being unable to get up. No wizard involved.
>>
>>50315996
>Slaanesh sends Daemonettes as servants in Fantasy to his followers not as warriors but as providers of pleasure.

Bullshit.

Daemonettes are the foot troopers of Slaanesh in both setting, you lying cunt.

You seem to have forgotten the Vaults of Winter which periodically fracture and spill daemonette hordes at the Woof Elves.
>>
>>50315671
Technically they're still that. Its just that now their madness is contagious and they're self-deluded.
>>
>>50316017
>No wizard involved

Actually, Teclis's spell caused the collapse of the cave they were in.
>>
>>50316023
Slaaneshi forces use them as foot soldiers, but they're also sent to serve in the orgies of the Cult of Pleasure and Empire Slaaneshi Cults.

They're dual-purpose. But in Fantasy they are specifically sent to pleasure mortals, whereas in 40k they're secret corrupter that lead mortals to fall in a manner similar to Genestealer Patriarchs.

>>50316036
The prophesy is that the male wizard would kill him. Breaking his back doesn't count.
>>
>>50316065
This is because Daemons can manifest physically in Fantasy, in 40k they're only hijacking a body and using it to make themselves temporarily real. They have more time to piss around and fuck someone's brains out when they're not struggling to keep themselves on the plane as the soul of the body they're in fizzles out.
>>
>>50316065
You are making things up. They serve the same purposes in both fantasy. Heck, the Silver Knight in 40K had daemonettes clamor over him trying to pleasure and seduce him. In "Shadowsword", daemonettes joined in a bloody orgy with the nobility.

Your attempts at forcing a difference between 40K and fantasy is just fanfiction.
>>
>>50316103
>Heck, the Silver Knight in 40K had daemonettes clamor over him trying to pleasure and seduce him.
Corruption, not unnecessary pleasure.
>In "Shadowsword", daemonettes joined in a bloody orgy with the nobility.
They were summoned, not sent.
>>
>>50316089
>This is because Daemons can manifest physically in Fantasy

Goddamnit. Fantasyfagsa are the worse when it comes to the lore.

Both daemons in both settings can manifest physically. In fantasy, winds of magic and emotional energy sustain their bodies. in 40K, they sustain themselves via warp energy and emotions.

So in both cases as long as excessive emotions of lust and pain are felt, they the daemons can sustain themselves.
>>

>Models still overpriced rules aren't great
this meme is really getting me sick and tired.

the same can be said of Malifaux or however it's written. one single model can range from between 19$ to 40$, if not more in some occasions. and I'm not talking about big models either.
atleast that is the pricing at my FLGS.

Warmahordes is equally overpriced for what you get, and much, MUCH less conversion/customization-friendly.

All of the miniature companies are shit, GW included in this. Stop flinging shit only one way when it's something all of them are guilty of.

>>50316128

Nope, the Silver Knight felt lust and yearned for the pleasures of the daemonettes.

>They were summoned, not sent.

Sent and summoned. They were fulfilling the will of Slaanesh and needed someone to allow them to get through.
>>
>>50315259
fantasy was just about as original as AoS has been so far, so your argument falls flat there.

>The prophesy is that the male wizard would kill him. Breaking his back doesn't count.

His back was broken and the Realm of Chaos swallowed him and dissolved his body. Everything that was Malekith was sucked into the Realm of Chaos and unmade. For a period of time, Malekith was no more.

An unknown time later and from the nothingness, Malerion born. With no memory of who he was he wandered until fragments of a past life surfaced and then he met Morathi. At the moment he remembered his past life.

So Malekith died. Malerion was born in his place.

>>
>>50316204
Except it didn't kill Malekith.

The prophesy is for it to kill him. All the cave did was fuck him up, he survived into Age of Sigmar and in fact was one of the few characters left alive when the world was consumed at the end of End Times

If Malekith isn't dead at the hands of a male elf wizard, the prophesy failed.

The child will be learned in the darkest arts and he will raise an army of terrible beasts. Thus will the Dark King fall, slain by neither blade nor arrow but by a sorcerous power of darkest magic and so shall his body be consumed in the flames and for all eternity burn.

1) It wasn't black magic that hurt his back.
2) He didn't burn to death.
3) His original burns are healed, so he's not burning for all eternity.

Prophesy didn't happen.
>>
>>50316289
Actually, Teclis's spell collapsed the cave AND exacerbated the dissolution of the world when he failed to keep the Winds of Magic in check.

And he didn't survive. See >>50316239. Malekith died that day.

you sound really angry, wanna talk about it ?

>>50316323
Yeah. But that's not what was in the prophesy.

See >>50316309

Black magic has to burn him to death, and he has to burn for all eternity. The prophesy didn't name Malekith specifically, so that whole "but Malekith died and Morelion was born" bullshit doesn't work.
>>
>>50316309
>He didn't burn to death.

Chaos is dark magic. The portal was the sum of it. Malekith was literally burned out of existence by the Warp. His soul spent a whole eternity in the warp suffering god knows what.

It fits!
>>
>>50316344
Not angry, just indignant about people defending GW and pointing to a different shitty company as the justification.

Warmahordes is a shit game for wankers, #shitgameforwankers, and skirmish games like Malifaux by usually mark up their prices to make up for lower sales. Just like how the Mordheim and Necromunda minis were higher than Warhammer and 40k prices.

>>50316345

You can't spend "a whole eternity". Eternity is by definition without end, it has no set value and therefor cannot be "a whole" anything.

Malekith wasn't "burned out of existence".

Nothing mentioned any suffering.

Actually, in fantasy settings like WHFB, eternity has a set value. You have statements like this "He spent an eternity in torment before being set free", "eternities have passed since he bla bla".

He describes the sensation of being swallowed by the Warp as scalding hot.

>Nothing mentioned any suffering.

You think being trapped in the warp as a disembodied spirit with no memory is a pleasnt experience?

That is shit. Notice how every part that is supposed to be lit directly is white, or is the overall colour + white, and the shadowed zones are the overall colour + black. This is shit painting.

If you bother to look at any decent realist painting from the past 600 years, you will see that something that is yellow when lit is painted say green when in shadow. And no need to take my word for it, you can just snap a picture of your surroundings and zoom in. You'll see that lit areas aren't just "whiter" nor shadowed ones "blacker".

Porn is more excessive than actual sex, since most people will jerk it to far more than they'd ever do.

Aaand I'm back.

Well fun, thats part of his or hers personal idea of what makes a game fun. I for instance, sometimes enjoy Warmahordes because I find the game´s steamroller aspect interesting, and sets it apart from other games I play. I enjoy 40k for its deep lore, and because I like the miniatures. And I even play a bit of AoS, because I like the models and the simplicity about the game.

See, in no way is there a "this makes my game best game!" kind of thought. I might have personal opinions on what makes a game good, and vice versa, but I have no illusions that this is printed as "facts".

>Without any explanation or arguments? nope

As stated above, perhaps he enjoys, like me, the simplicity of the game. A game you can finally play just for fun, kick back and play without any long rules discussions or stupid power-list buildings. Just doing it for the miniatures and the fun and enjoyment of socializing with friends.


My initial statement simply pointed out that you, despite you fighting me on the matter, is not God. You don't decide what is right and wrong, the same as you don't decide what is fun or boring. And while you might think the new art is shit, the lore sucks and that the prices are to expensive, this is still just your opinion on the matter, no more no less.

As it always has been. I for one think GW did the right move to launch AoS, even if it was only to ditch its neckbeard community.

What can possibly be a worse fan-factor than a bunch of man-children living in moms basement with little to no money, arguing about "prices today" on the internet while at the same time jerking of to rules.

I'm not saying all hobbyist where like that, but a great deal of /tg/ certainly was. Don't know why they bother ether, most of the guys here don't even play the fucking games, they just comment on whats "good and bad", and give negative critique on wip, even though they never paint themselves.

And a good game is all in the eyes of the beholder. I have no illusions that AoS has the complicity of, lets say Infinity, but thats part of its charm to me. That whats makes the game "fun", because it makes me not care to much and just enjoy the moment. And it does relate with socialization in that aspect that you don't spend nearly as much discussing rules and what you can and cannot do, when playing a game that just doesn't have the need for it. You can instead focus on just enjoying the moment.

>Quality isn't totally abstract thing.

I agree. But to claim you hold the keys to say what is fun and not, is not part of what makes quality.

>but stop laying it out like facts,
The GW rules sucks, it's fact, GW now making more ugly than good looking models is fact too, the prices increasing each year, it's fact.

Is that so hard to think about one thing while talking about other and enjoy the game process.
So you just play interactive diorama? Sorry dude it doesn't mean the game is simple (simple games makes FFG), it's just poorly designed rules.
>I agree. But to claim you hold the keys to say what is fun and not, is not part of what makes quality.
Unnecessary hyperbola, there is no need to be God to call current GW stuff aren't great.

i am kinda curious, do you know how much the prices increase every year ?

Technically, there is ups and downs, but to label your personal opinion of "ugly" (a totally subjective thought) as the quality of a model is just hilarious.

And I'm sure you can take and pick from a number of models thats lower and higher tier of quality released in recent years, and straw man yourself through the rest of this conversation. But Ill save you the trouble of just saying it blunt, your a bad person anon and you should kill yourself for it.

He doesn't, hes just an anon full of shit. Like most fat neckbeards living in moms basement, he strives though the day making himself feel better by blaming everyone else for their faults (because he sure as hell don't have any, right?!?).

Thus, this bloated bastard has not yet come to realize that a Hobby is a luxury, something above the necessities of life. And all hobbies costs just about as much as the participants are willing to spend, and wargames are no exception to this. And for a hobby, its not even mid-tier in expenses, fuck, you could even collect Barbie Dolls, and it would be more expensive.

Nice projections

And that's supposed to mean something?

>>50319813
that didnt answer my question at all.
I already know that Inflation has its fair share of the price increases, but i hoped that someone could actually tell me how much they increased on average....
>>
>>50319843
Anywhere from 5 to 50$.

Thanks m8, now i only need to find out what thir prices in the past....
Does anyone happen to have a list of GW`s old prices ?
>>
>>50320424
nevermind, i found some of the old prices on google
>>
>>50319813

You done cherry picking?
You know, you still just proved my point, a hobby is a cost, no matter how you twist and turn it. If your happy, finding a third party product, and it fills your needs, go for it.

So, to conclude;
1. Your opinion is not fact.
2. A hobby is a luxury
3, Your a fat neckbeard living at home.
