Yes, I've also noticed that INF figures do run heavier in price than GW. I also feel they put way more effort into their development and final product than GW do.....so in the end, I guess its true, you get what you pay for.
In addition, the range of miniatures they produce, for such a small company, is in my opinion, astounding. I mean, look at the mix of male and female, different armour types.....to me, its worth the money, if only to support future releases and keep these guys in the game.
Another factor, perhaps not directly associated to the cost.....the attitude of the guys running INF, guys seriously, if you get a chance, log onto their web forum and spend some time there! In this respect, service wise and in terms of player to designer interaction, GW can't even dream of competing. I have not "met" a group of games designers with a LESS "my game or the highway" type attitude! It appears to me that they have completely left their egos at the door in order to really get this game out there and enjoyed by the player base.
This coupled to the quality and detail of their figures, is worth the extra £s it takes to support them.
