I am wondering about how much money did most 40k players spend.

For me its like $50 for AoBR SMs + an old rhino and $50 for paints and brushes... Total: $100

Anyone wants to share his/her number?

But to answer the question a few 1000's of pounds -- dont want to count up

Too much

It seems no one wants to share...and its an expensive/addictive hobby...

Well I spent close to 700USd on my BA army.

3,000USD on on my DkoK IG.

Another 1500 or so on my WM Khador army.

hmmmm off the top of my head.
2 rhinos and a predator
AOBR
3 codexes
1 box scouts
1 box space wolf pack box
1 box assault terminators.
Space Hulk (mostly for the terminators)
Necron battleforce
C'Tan deathbringer
2 tomb spiders, 1 heavy destroyer, 1 lord
air-brush compressor lots of paint and glue and flock etc
Really don't want to add it up and I probably left some things out.
And then of course there is Fantasy ......

How Musch Did You Spent on 40k?

Not as much as you seem to have spent on beer.

Or need to spend on English lessons

More than I can remember. Since I started again? $39 so far. I bought a box of Dire Avengers, was gifted a box of Swooping Hawks, found an old squad of Warp Spiders, and manged to buy a Warp Spider Exarch on E-bay, $4 delivered. Granted, not everyone has 20 yers of leftover GW detritus to pick through for useful stuff...

Obviously. Just look at the screen name.

I've probably spent about $1500 on my DKoK army. But that's my 5th edition army. I have no idea what the value of all the models I purchased in 2nd edition would be if adjusted for inflation (and biannual price hikes). I've spent about $3000 on Warmachine and Hordes. I will spend probably another $500-600 on Skaven once the new box set arrives.

All together, I've probably spent about $10,000 on miniature wargames counting everything.

I would estimate around £800. Around £1250 if you include WDs.

This is excluding my planned Ork Biker list, which will bump the latter up to around £1700.

As Loki said. Too much. The depressing thing is that I have spent this much, and I'm only 16.

Maxed characters. Sorry for grammar incorrectness

Well over $10000. Probably closer to $20000.

But this is over 15+ years.

wow. Just wow.

i've probably spent between $1500-$2000... though, i've recovered around $800 from selling completed armies on ebay when I get tired of em.

i second that and probably for me around 1500-2000 estimate. still i want to cry

haha not really i love most of my models accept my damn tau who i started the hobby with and i just was gluing things and threw away the extra bits... needless to say that army doesnt play very well with wysiwyg

I would say at least 2 grand since is started.

30,000 points of Guard.
30,000 points of Chaos.
12,000 points of Marines.
12,000 points of Tyranids.
8,000 points of Necrons.
2,500 points of Deathwatch.
2,500 points of Deathguard (separate to overall Chaos).
1,500 points of Black Templars (separate to Marines).
The Equivalent of about 8-10 Imperial Sectors worth of CoD terrain.
20-ish Bations for Planetstrike.


Then there's all the Necromunda stuff, every edition of Space Hulk, Warhammer Quest and all it's expansions, etc. etc. etc.

So, yeah, a lot.

Don't even wanna talk about it.

I'm lucky in that I find stuff for wicked cheap on eBay and flea markets, then manage to trade it/sell it off for a relative profit in stuff I actually want. However, the amount of money I spend on this game is still pretty hefty. Easily a couple hundred bucks a year. Compare it to other hobbies and habits and it's not that terrible though.

Well, let's see... Rough estimate, including supplies and such, I think I've spent about $1000. Maybe a bit more.

A lot, a hell of a lot

HBMC, 30000 points of guard...wow...I got a long way to go!

800.

to make my new army, I'll need 660 dollars... sigh

30000 pts. of guard? jeez

It costs my money, it costs my time, it costs my life, ehmm wife.

Don't know/don't want to know.

*Choke* That makes my 8000pts of marines look insignificant.
I probably wont have spent as much as you think for an army of my size, im a cheapskate (e.g one landraider in all that I got for £15 off a friend)

Over 15 years...probaly close to £1,000, maybe pushing £2,000...as far as i know

Maybe... $325 american

And I plan to spend more in the future... I'm hooked bad.

Edit: to qualify more, I intend to have someday around 2000 BT initiates, I have no idea how many points that be or what it will cost but someday I will have them. Also plan on starting other armies in the future.

Wow there is just no good answer for this question.
Tens of thousands (Over 20+ years) spring to mind easy.

I sold off a fully made army of Tau at about 4000 points and gave my cousin 3000 points worth of Eldar.
Misc. Inquisition and gray knight stuff about 2000 points.
I still have about 7000 points of Marines and 6000 in guard (never mind the Baneblade and Stormlord tanks).
I have 8000 points in chaos marines.
Terrain and buildings are hard to think of but about 5 bastions and various terrain.

No, this is just not worth talking about. I think my wife cannot find here way into the forums...
There is a miniature version of AA for us out there right?
