$300 a month? That's a new army every 2 months, even with the latest price increase.

Or, possibly, a lot of subsidiary stuff like 3rd party cases, Forgeworld models, scenery, etc.

**lord_blackfang**

I will continue to buy new releases for my existing GW armies but I don't see myself starting a new force any time soon.

I might get into Dropzone Commander if the rules are good, although I very recently bought two large 15mm scale sci-fi forces.

**Ravenous D**

I'll buy a new car and house with the money I'll save.

**Lovepug13**

More Forgeworld stuff.....also ebay and mail-order...never from GW store

**Formosa**

Dropship comm/infinity/warpath

Defo not GW unfortunatly, and its a shame as with the new DA dex coming out (hopefully) this year, i would have droped a ton of cash

**Byte**

My hobby spending habits will be unaffected. War gaming is just one of many.

**Shadowbrand**

I'll finish my Beastmen....Then. I'm not sure. I'm not going to invest more then $150 more into LOTR and Privateer Press is meh. It was a fad at my local club.

**Gargantuan**

I won't be buying anymore GW stuff.
I've ordered the Malifaux rule book, two card decks and two starter crews. I also want some more stuff for my WFPA Heavy Gear army but I'll wait until the new books come. My Warmachine armies need some love but I have to see if there's any Warmahordes players in Luleå before I buy any more Warmachine stuff. Going to move there tomorrow since I finally got a job.

It's a bit sad that when I get a job GW raise the prices. I can definitely afford it now but I'm so damn tired of GWs attitude .

**Surtur**

I just sold a small SM army and I'm spending it on a ton of Menoth troops. Morrowans and Tharamites shall feel the wrath of the creator!

**chromedog**

New stuff tends to be Infinity at the moment or terrain from non-GW sources.
(I haven't bought new GW in over a year - and even before that it was at most 2-3 pieces a year for the last 10 - the bulk of my armies were assembled by 3rd edition.)

If I see some GW stuff I like 2nd hand I might get it, but I'm done with buying it new.

**Eilif**

Stopped quite a while back, but I've been spending -and will likely continue as such- my $ on a few things

-More post apoc miniatures and die-cast cars for conversions. Scavengers, cops, salvagers and savages mostly
-A platoon of Alternative Armies Retained knights (wanted these guys for years and now I've got them!)
-Picking up a bit of GW marines and a few oddities from the RT era as I find them, but not too often.

The club has a Song of Blades Fantasy campaign this summer, and I've already bought the necessary figs so there's even less incentive to buy new figs, though hopefully I'll be able to get some painting done.

**Hindenburg**

Infinity.

**darefsky (Flight Medic Paints)**

Well I wanted another SR and was thinking about picking up a LR with a few DCA.

Since my FLGS told me about the increase (Same night the rumor hit the site). I have started up a Khador army.

I'll still play my GK and Eldar, but I wont be buying much more from GW, probably just the 6th ed rulesbook if it isn't over $60, and if it drasticaly changes the metta of the game forcing me to remake my armies I'm just gonna sell them. I get that its an expensive game, but for me it has hit the point that I just wont buy my toys at these prices.

**Gymnogyps**

Brushfire is going to be getting my money and attention... I've been painting my minis and the more I work on them, the more interested I am becoming...

GW has lost me by the neglect of my primary, favorite armies (Sisters and Wood Elves), and the ridiculous price increases on my back up, next faves (Orks and OnG). I also have Lizards and Vamps for Fantasy, but the game itself is just... boring. If I wanted to roll dice and have random things happen, I'd go shoot craps. It would probably cost less overall, too.

**Grot 6**

GW lost me after the last time they pulled thier crap.

Now I am an avid skirmish game player, and have enough GW stuff to fund my gaming habits for a few years.

Trade one for the others.

A shame too. I still have a soft spot for rogue trader, and 2d edition stuff. ( yes, I'm still going to keep the orks.

)

**Battleworthy Arts**

More Necrons.

**lonedrow02**

Forgeworld, building a few awesome tables, terrain materials, and possibly dropzone commander. FoW looks awesome but pricey to get into at first.... Any other games that have a realistic military tactics appeal..?

**happygolucky**

LOTR, and Warmahordes, the last price increase they were overstepping their mark, now this...

Nope I will get 6th ed and new chaos dex but from now on ill play with what Ive got...

**scarletsquig**

Mantic!

**Happygrunt**

I am finishing out my guard, putting some money away for 6th, then going for Waramahordes and Infinity.

**zedmeister**

Not bought direct from GW main for a long time, not counting the occasional Specialist Games purchase.

SciFi: I'll still buy from Forgeworld. Ebay for my other needs. Looking at the new sedition wars game as well

For Fantasy: Banelegions only for me

**Necro**

I just bought the Warmachine starter box like 2 mins ago online.

I will still buy 6th ed box set but I have loads of 40K/FW armies already.

If Warmachine ruleset plays as well as everyone says it does I will be spending big on it

**Shepherd23**

Malifaux and other not GW stuff. Same is it has been for 4 years now. I love not paying GW to screw their player base. They increase prices to give less content in white dwarf. If you don't play the new hot army then your chances of winning in events is crippled. If you own certain armies, you will never compete, even in friendly games because of the lack of balance that they promote.

As I said, I love not GW games. So much more to love.

**Makarov**

I am dropping 40k, and am going to focus more on Flames of War. Maybe a late war polish insurgent army.

**Piston Honda**

Not in any particular order

Firestorm: Armada
http://www.spartangames.co.uk/games/firestorm-armada

Already own every Fleet available. Simple, yet detailed set of rules. The flight pegs they have are a bit annoying though.

Uncharted Seas
http://www.spartangames.co.uk/games/uncharted-seas

Game is more fun than snorting crushed skittles off h***er t***ies. Or as I like to call Skitties.

Norsegard
http://www.norsgard.com/news/temple-orcs-and-more.html

I don't know much about this game, other than I like the minis, theme and a quick glance of the rules, it looks fun.

Bushido
http://www.bushido-thegame.com/

Fun and refreshing theme in the miniatures game world.

Still wanna finish my purchases for Blood Angels, but don't think I will start that Fantasy Army I was planning on.

It can be done at a cheaper price. Especially if you buy 3rd party models.

Here is a link on how to start a FOW force
http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Starting_a_Flames_of_War_Force

If anybody has any questions on how to start a FOW army either pm, or check out the FOW section of the forum.

There is also Force on Force, which is a rules set that deals with post ww2 up to the modern day.

**Buttons**

Just buying fewer models or cheaper models, as well as more going to cheaper online retailers. Also, probably a bigger focus on quality over quantity, only buying one chimera instead of 2, but buying a fancy FW turret because I can and it looks nicer.

**Blacksails**

Spaceships.

So many spaceships.

So good to hear so many of you resisting the sunk cost fallacy, and looking further afield than GW!
