Couldn't be below $1000.
If you can find me someone who's spent more than $100 000 on the hobby I'll be blown away.

Wow including Airbrush, Showing cases, Painting supplies and 17 years worth of miniatures, books, tools, etc ... not to mention especially looking for a flat with an extra room only for the hobby and furnishing it ... I'd say somewhere between 20k and 30k.
That number there scares me - please someone say that's normal ...

Must be around $1-3000, but I sell quite a lot so that negates some of the cost.

Slightly over $300 on 40k since I am able to convert old figures from other games into my IG army. Scratchbuilding also helps keep the cost down a lot.

Over $500 for sure, probably closer to 650 or 700. I convert/kitbash/repurpose Plague Marines so other peoples trash is my treasure. I should have my tax return shortly, which will either see me buying a full Dark Eldar force, or starting IG so my buying total will be rising drastically soon.

Counting rulebooks, paint supplies and so on, I'd estimate it roughly at... I honestly don't want to think about it. Videogaming is considered quite an expensive hobby, but it's probably nothing compared to wargaming...

Glory to the Twelfth! Glory to Angron!
"Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."
—Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion's 8th Assault Company, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions |
