Bought direct from GW:
2x Finecast Zoanthropes, various paints.

Bought from my FLGS:
New Necromancer (full GW RRP), various paints (50% GW RRP).

Would have bought more, but things have gotten in the way (not GW's pricing either).

I'm still buying GW models, but I said I would be finishing my Dark Eldar army before I stopped buying anyway. Although with the way things have been going for me lately financially, I'm probably going to slow back down again for a while. Before the Dark Eldar release I had already stopped purchasing things from GW or the local store and stuck strictly to second-hand models or nothing at all, and then when the DE were released I started buying models regularly, and paying full retail for them.

In the past few months I think altogether I've gotten 3 boxes of incubi (two "Finecast", one metal), two venoms, and two boxes of scourges. But I also bought the Battletech Introductory Box Set, started collecting 4th edition D&D books, and I'm still really interested in the Haqqislam minis for Infinity.

Including what I bought between the announcement of the price hike, to now, from best I can remember:

2 Cadian Battleforces
3 Valkyries
4-5 packs of... 60mm round bases? (heavy weapons)
2 Land Speeders
BT Upgrade Sprues
2 Boxes of Snap Fit Cadians (5 mans)
Land Raider Crusader
Predator
Tomb Kings Army Book
Tomb Kings Battalion
Tomb Kings Skeleton Warriors
Tomb King (finecast)
Tomb Kings Battle Magic cards

Still Need to buy by the end of the summer:
1 more Land Speeder
4 Razor Backs
Predator
Terminators
BT Upgrade Sprues
Finecast Emperors Champion
Forge World stuff or conversion for Vendattas
Liche Priest
More Tomb Kings stuff.

If we're counting what was bought between the price hike/embargo announcment and it actually taking effect, I'll also add the following, though it was from Wayland.

Warhammer 8th edition rulebook
Vampire Counts Battalion
Vampire Counts Skeletons
Vampire Counts Grave Guard x 2

Hey good for you! We can always use more BTech players.

About half a dozen Black Library novels.

Since Fine Cast was announced, I have picked up the following products.

1 Pewter Unicorn on sale at the FLGS for 50% off
1 OOP wood elf mage mounted on horse for the unicorn on Ebay
1 OOP Forest Dragon that will need to be stripped also on Ebay.

Total spent $35.

I have (10+) armies in the area of 3k+
Bretonion, Wood Elf, High Elf, Space Marines, Dark Angels, Blood angels, Eldar, Tau, and Guard, and Death Korps of Krieg. I am going to be reducing my collection soon, as its too expensive to keep collecting and it’s just not fun anymore.

Curiously enough I hadn't bought anything directly from GW in many years (not including FW books).

Since the "hike" I have bought the new necromancer and a Finecast Lord Inquistitor and Coteaz, all at a GW store.

I don't attribute this to anything other than my own conveinience* since I was near a GW store, but then I'm not really up-in-arms about recent developemnts anyway. This is only differant in that usually I would wait and visit Wayland for a bulk order + discounts.

I have also bought the Kampfgruppe Normandy book from WH Historical as well.

* keen to try out finecast and get a wizard for the Pimp my Wizard Comp. So really I blame Dakka!

A bought a Space Marines Blood Angels Dread Nought and a Space Marines Grey Knights Dread Knight and 2 Space Marines Storm Ravens to put them in.

Then I got some Necron Marines allies for my Space Marines Blood Angels. The codex says it's OK.

I have not bought anything, but that is mainly because I have been buying a lot for my Italian Bersaglieri army.
I plan on buying another Chimera soon, and maybe an Cadian infantry squad to convert into some veterans.

This is my situation. I tend to buy second-hand, OOP models if I'm buying 40K personally. I did receive a vindicator direct from GW as a Christmas present, which was a very nice and thoughtful gift from a family member who felt completely cheated when I showed them how much they could have paid had they visited Miniature Market instead. I'm also a supporter of non-GW wargames and miniatures, although my budget doesn't allow me to make the kind of purchases shared here.

Well I am currently building a 2500pt Silver Skulls space marine army. I tried to buy most of it before the price hike. I have purchased some things on ebay: blackreach dreads are a steal! Since the price hike I have bought a LR, speeder, terminator librarian (and he has some flaws I am not happy about), and will probably buy a rhino/razor today. I make as many purchases as I can at my FLGS. I am even getting them to order bits for me.

I am also buying lots of third party bits to customize my army. I don't know what is going on in Poland but they have some awesome/creative casters over there.

Once I polish off this army (only missing a few pieces now) I shouldn't have to buy anything for a long time. My old tau army is going to collect dust until they are revamped. I have no desire for any other armies outside the two that I have. Down the road I may buy some models just to build and paint them. (i love tanks!)

GW puts out great models and their prices have yet to totally push me away. And I do so love the 40k lore. However, I do have my eye on them and do think they have a bunch of moneygrubbing crooks running the show.

Just since the price hike/Finecost? About $500 of Menoth stuff from Privateer.

I have bought:

From GW:

A Cockatrice.

A box of Catachan Jungle Fighters.

Tallarn Flesh and Red Gore Paint.

From my FLGS:

A Catachan Company Command Squad.

A box of Empire Knights.

2nd Hand:

20 Ork Nobz.

A Black Reach Warboss.

Wow, the list of stuff that I have bought looks bigger when I actually write the list, my wallet looks much thinner now.

A bag or large and small flying bases. Epic command dice.

Battlefleet Gothic is surprisingly fun.

I would like to say I'm jealous of the size of your wallet, but it's not just that! Also of having your own slave army to build and paint all of that stuff

I am a college student who makes way to much money and too much down time after work.

And of all that, nothing of that is completed. Most of it is half assembled. And what is assembled isn't even primed.

1 Ravenwing Bike Squadron
1 pot of Codex Grey
Fine Detail Brush

Once I finish the bikers, I'll pick up a box of terminators.

Once I finish those I am not sure what I will start. Maybe Blood Angels or DE.
