Something that is expensive to buy but cheap in points.

Not sure but I would have to say Ogren ($20 per 25pts, blood crushers(dont know but high) and SM Rhinos ($30 per 35pts) are up there with the highest $$$ per point.
While the best for the money is probably the Nightbringer, landraider and any suped up lord type model in any army.

My money's on kroot hounds. 12 dollars for two, six points a model works out to a dollar a point. Worst part is, my new Tau army list calls for twenty.

Well you could also say just about anything forgeworld. Pretty sure there are things there that cost more than $1 a point. Say the Thunderbolt and the like.

Yes, but if you used the rules she's supposed to have (rather than "counts as" ), she was a bargain @ > 3 points/dollar. The metal Chaos Warhounds used to be very bad, but the new plastics fixed that. So far, I think Ogryn win, at more than $1/pt. From Forgeworld, I'll point you at Death Korps of Krieg Rough Riders, who are $17.30/11 pts (by today's conversion rate).

That's only about a dollar per five points. Ogryns are twenty-five dollars for twenty five points, and they don't hold a candle to some FW stuff.

An army that has models with 2 points has a lot going for it.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

I think they come in packs of five. So that's US$1.50 per point.

Interesting aside...
When 40K 3rd Edition came out, models got a lot cheaper in points. A 30pt Tactical Marine dropped to 15pts. Therefore, GW effectively doubled their prices overnight.
