The annual poll, what is your total GW purchase amount?
That includes ebay and buys from other players as well, not limited to GW shops only.

And no, sorry shop owners don't count, customers only :3

FW Purchase are fine, but can specify they are FW and NOT GW ( i know lots of people dont consider them the same entity )

annnnnnnnnd HAPPY NEW YEAR ( of the Dragon )

**Necroshea**

Maybe 12 or so total for 3 pots of paint. Everything else (which has been quite a bit) has come from craigslist and swap shop.

Edit - Wow read this wrong. I'd say in the 200 ish range.

**Doklunggraba**

Bought 60 boys, 6 Nobs, 3 deffkoptas, and 2 warbosses from a friend for $110NZD and also bought Some GW dwarfs stuff ;D

**Happygrunt**

Probably 300-500ish. Although got a ton of stuff for my birthday. And I got a whole CSM for free from my cousin (which I sold for Tau).

**Schmapdi**

I did pretty good this year at not buying more until I got stuff painted - so my only actual purchases were a few paint pots. There was a Firebelly purchased on my behalf this Christmas though.

**oadie**

I'm torn between the first two options, as both my GW and non-GW wargaming spending fall roughly into that rather broad range.

This year, I bought 2 pots of GW paint from the LGS, for way more than they're worth (I'll pay the premium for the sake of convenience on minor purchases), so my GW total is somewhere around the $10 mark. I've also spent nearly $100 on Mantic, between Dwarf King's Hold and their holiday grab bag, about $20 more on other hobby supplies, and probably $50-75 on non-wargaming board games. Not sure if that qualifies as "plenty," especially considering the scope of the poll's options, but it's the most I've dropped on the hobby, in its broadest sense, in several years.

**chromedog**

This year was limited to a GK codex and NDK model.
Think it cost me about $75-80 all up. Then the embargo hit and I stopped getting GW stuff.

Now it's the other companies that get my monies. I will need to get some more GW washes shortly though.

**ph34r**

I am still buying, because I don't have any completed army to fall back on.

**-Loki-**

I put $750 - $1000, but then realized I hadn't spent nearly that much - should have been $300 - $500. I bought 5 Tyranid elites in Finecast - there's $200au right there. I bought about 1000 points of Vampire Counts, but that was from Wayland before the embargo, which amounted to about $150au. Added to that, Tamurkhan and the FW Wight King BSB.

Surprised I didn't spend more, but then, I still haven't been playing often enough to warrant buying more.

**Absolutionis**

I have mostly completed Eldar and Tyranid armies. I thought of starting a Thousand Sons force or buying some DE stuff to Craftworld-ize, but that ended up being rather cost-prohibitive so I stuck with Malifaux and Infinity instead.

Voted $0 with money spent on other companies.

On the other hand, I did get a GW-related Christmas present, but that was not spent by me and it was Forge World.

Either way, I've done my part to not really buy GW stuff, and I'm making decisions based on price more than ever. It also helps that GW's main releases of robot marines and silver marines were not of any interest to me.

**Purifyingflame_7**

Really started in on the hobby this year and got fully into it instead of half.....in half out as I have been over the years. Heck....Id say Ive probably spent between $700 and $900 on models, paints, spray primers, basing materials, terrain materials, and such.

**Adam LongWalker**

$25 per month is what I spend now and that is going to be cut down even further.

**SagesStone**

Not sure but less than $100.

**H.B.M.C.**

N to the A to the D to the A.

**JOHIRA**

I can't remember when I bought my giant kit. So either 0$ or $40. I'm expecting 2012 to be the same or lower.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

750-1000, almost all up until the rest of the world embargo mid year.

if they had not done that it would be 2500+

Clowns...

My final last Maelstrom order was done last week. It was:

3 boxes of Bloodcrushers
8 Chaos Space Marine Bikers
2 boxes of Possessed Marines
1 Daemon Prince
1 Temple of Skulls terrain piece
1 box of Space Marine Devastators
2 Carnifexes
1 Trygon

Total cost? AUD$427.

Total cost to buy from GWOZ? AUD$913. I just saved AUD$486.

The apologists are mad if they think that me paying an additional $486 is 'fair'.

**Jag_Calle**

My wife bought me a mangler squig box for christmas, does that count?

Other than that, I've just spent money on Tradera, the swedish version of e-bay.

In 2012, odds are that I'll buy killakans, and a grot box, as in 1.5 years, I haven't found an unassembled box of those in the auctions.

**H.B.M.C.**

Ah. Read the thread wrong. Thought it meant so far in 2012.

My bad.

**Aerethan**

I bought about $500 but all either from ebay, trade sites or a non GW retailer at a discount of 30%. I try to give GW as little money as possible while still getting the models that I want.

The random 2012 in the thread title doesn't help there, HBMC

I'd say less than £100 - the following, off the top of my head:
- Finecast Commissar Lord (before I was aware of Finecast)
- Plastic Chaos Sorceror
- Can of Chaos Black spray
- 1 pot Devlan Mud, 1 pot Gryphonne Sepia

**Horst**

Probably about $500 or so, but I sold about $380 worth in models in ebay / swap shop, so its a net of only $120 spent

**DeadlyFungi**

Well...I was doing great until the Necron release...

I spent a small amount on Malifaux, and WM....then $400 on GW, with a bit more spent on washes, and such..

Going cold until the Cron's second wave...

AHHH my bad T-T

**shadowsnip**

I, sadly, am that 2% who purchased 2500$ plus

**LunaHound**

Thats not sad, without your support GW might go bankrupt

**porkuslime**

In value.. probably over 1500, but.. paid less than half that??

Maybe?? I lose count..

**wuestenfux**

I'm a bit surprised about the outcome, since most players spent less than I thought (<= $750).

**ruminator**

Actually I think that anything over $500 is a significant amount to be honest. That's more than enough for an entire army. I have spent a lot this year, but 70% ebay by my estimation. Only things I bought from GW were 2 WDs covering the Sisters, HHeresy books, paint.

**chromedog**

I spent more on WM and Infinity than I did on GW (individually).

I've also spent more on non-GW terrain makings.

With 4 40k armies, 1 WHFB army I don't need to add more. I've still got stuff to assemble and paint for these anyway, and will be quite busy for the next few months anyway.
