It seems that the majority of answers involve the price of getting a new army.

Pity that the corporation did not think about the cost of playing this game and how many people are not going too.

Myself? Maybe. I got an All metal Necron army (+3000 points) with custom Monoliths. But like others Iv'e got other armies to work on and finish.

It is that "get the kids to convince mom and dad to drop the cash for a new army and who cares if they keep playing it" mentality of marketing.

Of course as long as they have employees they'll have a ready market for their figures as the employees will keep buying stuff to keep their armies fresh. I've wondered if there is a rotation in the staff of a GW store: OK I bought the last army, Bob it is your turn to buy this new army and Dave you are next in the queue. Someone has to buy all the new armies and make them exciting for the customers. Or maybe I'm just being too cynical.

I know someone who literally got on his knees for the new Necrons...

About 20 people in my FLGS have switched their armies to Necrons...sad...
