Last year I bought 12K points of marines and orks. This year I've already bought 2K of guard with lots of forgeworld bits.

I only started my IG army in July of 2009, and already I have spent close to $2000 on models (GW and Forge World). I think that number would be paired down a bit if I hadn't decided to run an OOP Guard army, but yeah, it is a bit sobering thinking about how quickly the total cost accumulated.

This is the best reply so far in the thread xD

in the last 6 months:
$355 on my guard
$435 on the wife's Orks
and $75 + trades on my marines
before I got out of the game(4th edition) roughly $5,000 on marines, guard, and Tau

I actually have to agree with two posts: too much, and not enough.

When I look at everything I have, and think "Damn, I've spent a ton on all this...", it's quickly followed by "But I still need ___ and ___ to finish THIS list and..."

Blah

Over 9000!

...sorry.

If I actually added this up - I may throw up.

So, I live in blissful ignorance.

If I actually added it up I would probably cry.

So I agree completely with Dakka_X3, Ignorance is bliss.

I am not shure what I spent on and off for the last 15 years. I basically got back about 5 years ago, just as a collector not a gamer so I don't have a real army as you guys would say.

So between 40K, Lord of the Rings, and Battle for Skull Pass is the only Fantasy thing I bought, I say about a $1000 Canadian. I jump between LotR and 40K and never finish anything. Now I am sticking to 40K, got a small army of DA, and working on Tyranids now, before I go back to LotR. I am including paint and brushes because I got all that stuff from a GW store or FLGS when it did exsist, but now is gone. I guess that is why I spend so little now, now store close by to home.

Guys , there is hope.

There is the All Holy Swap Shop ,
throw up no more , cry no more , unload the extras now!

Probably 1000 pounds in the last 4 years. Before that likely another few hundred going back to when I started.

Spent enough to have to start saving up again.

well on a card which tracks my spending in order to get special reward once got like 1000.
but that was awhile ago. Way more then that. That just includes whet i spent not what my mom gave me money for which would be like 250(including presents)

The secret joke of Warhammer "40K" is that the date isn't arbitrary.

It was put in as a gotcha! for when you realize that it's gonna take about $40,000 {units of your local currency - GW's gonna get it - conversion rate be damned} and about 40,000 hours painting time to "get where you want to be" playing the game.



Seriously, I think I might be coming up on $1000 spent over 5 years on my Ultras, paints and supplies, terrain projects, and including the entire Black Library which I suffered through for "research".
