lol, to quote my mom:"why do you keep buying models, dont you have enough guys to fight now?"

me: "why do you keep buying new clothes and shoes? dont you have enough clothes to wear?"

mom:"thats different, you can wear clothes"

me:

Quick! We must all make outfits out of our little plastic men and then our spending will be completely justified and immune to criticism from anyone!

Are you kidding? I'm going to go you one further.

Add up all your models. Then add up your rule books, codexes, WDs, FW books, painting/modeling guides. Also put in your modeling supplies, third party bitz, painting supplies, paints, washes, inks, and scratch building materials. THEN add in the silly stuff, like tool storage containers, mini cases, game tables/platforms, dice, measurement tools, rolls of game surface. Lastly add in snacks, gas, beverages, and tournament fees.

I'm guessing I have several thousand tied up in it. I wont even fathom a guess.

Did I miss anything?

Then tally up the number of hours you spent on the hobby. And do the math to find out how much cash per hour of fun you got. Compare $/fun with dropping quarters at the arcade or seeing a movie.

My two most recent armies. I did not pay full retail for the Red Hunters but I did for the GK at my old FLGS the day they came out. I think I got 4 boxes of PA GK the same day but I wanted to put two 2000 point armies.
