Did GW get another price bump for everything? Sternguard vets are now 70 dollars... thats 14 dollars a model!

Seriously, can anyone afford to pay 14 dollars a model? I can make models that looks pretty damn close for a tenth of the cost, why are we still supporting GW?

12 or 14, it's still ridiculous. I've said it before and I'll say it again. GW wouldn't have such a problem with recasters if they offered even a semi-decent value for the price you pay. But it's friggin atrocious. My FLGS just 'upgraded' from running a Kill Team league to a small, 500 point detachments with normal rulesets. I was looking into getting a few more Reavers to flesh out my force.... but oh wait, it's 40 dollars. for three.

Games Workshop is about to release a single plastic model on a 25mm base for $26. Why are you still even visiting their site?

Can we go back to the good old days when Citadel miniatures were 3 for a £1? *cough* early 80's *cough*...

"Bloody typical, they've gone back to metric without telling us."

I agree it's ridiculous but it's not new. SM plastic clamshells have been £18 since the last SM codex, for example.

The Sternguard has a lot of bits in the box. You can make more than 5 Sternguard out of that and a box of Tacticals.

Oh, and it's the wrong time of year for a price bump Try June-time.

Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

Welcome to Australia. Enjoy your stay, watch out for the animals and for the love the Emperor don't go near a GW store unless you want a price induced heart attack.

Dakka bingo here (hit refresh for new cards)

www.grimdarkforge.com/bingo/

and with that I think we can close this up.

Be back next week when someone chimes in to ask why land raiders are suddenly $110
