Meh. Geography.


My job may be paying my rent next year (if I go work at a nuclear plant), so I'd have the money for Tau then.

yeah, San Jose rent is cheap at 800 a month, if your lucky and/or want to live in a shady part of town.

Heck, that job may just about turn you into a Tau!

You know I never complained about the price of GW stuff when I was younger even though I buy10x more now then I did then. Why is that? Is it because when we were younger we could not afford so much so were so grateful for what little we had?? Or is it as you get older with responsibilities each time you fork out big buck on (what is in essence toys) you think subconciously that money could be spent better elsewhere?

Then that leads to despising the Prices GW charges. If it costs so much why do most people have at least 3 different armies?? I personally have 7. From 1500 point IF army to a 16,000 point SW+13th.

I think you have a very valid point, beef.

On the other side of things, though, I first got in to 40k 8-9 months before 4th came out. In the first year and a half I played, I saw some items go up 30% or so. Every box went up 5$, and some of those went up another 5$ later on.

Yep. A 2000 point Tau army - saving tons of money by basing it around 3 Battleforces would cost my $570...

That's awfully hard to justify - it's more than a month's rent!

I could only dream of having rent as low as that....

And he can only dream of being unfamiliar with the term "lake effect snow." Don't look it up. It'll give you nightmares.

lake effects make me giggle.. tsunami's on the other hand make me cringe in fear. ever lived on an island? like Japan? try it, and get back with me.. lake effect.. hah
