Mine averages out to about 100 a month. However as I buy things in bulk I will save up drop 400 then not buy anything for 4 months as I work on what I bought.

I net out zero. I spend a lot on 40k but also buy extra and sell a lot so that the only money I spend is profit.

This year is an anomaly. I sold the last of my M:tG cards and am funneling that cash into 40k. For the most part, I spend less the $200 a year on the hobby. But since last March, I'm in the over $200 camp.

So I'm going to call it less then $100 for this poll.

No Offence. This poll gets no answer from me. How much money I spend is my business, and my business alone.

Thanks for letting us know that you won't participate in a voluntary poll.

It's hard to do the math for me as I tend to go on binges and then spend a lot of months without buying anything. Probably works out to 50-60 a month (I hope).

Probably less than or around £64, since I try to only buy more minis once I've fully painted the ones I have.

Go read the dakka ToS again... it clearly states "Members must participates in all polls." How else will the government find out about your spending habits?

I put my spending in the 100-200 category. Twice a year I'll place a $500-600 order with FW and spend about $100 a month at my local GW.

Well, technically having been at this for 13 months now I've spent well over $200 per month - but now that I have almost everything I need, it'll certainly start going down quickly.

I appreciate that you value your privacy, but you could just simply not participate in the poll, instead of messing up the results.

Depending on whats been release and relative interest levels, around 100 per month perhaps.
Unless its a big army wide purchase.
Recent Codex releases have been coming thick and fast though and coupled with my interest in Apoc a lot has been spent on books/Codici of late.

I kinda splash out, realise i spent too much and then spend nothing for a while. Probably works out about £75. I often sell stuff which in turn funds more stuff, so it could effectively be a little less or a little more.

I'm a bulk buyer, averaging about 120$ per month. About to buy 500$ worth of stuff (second big purchase of the year) and will drop about 300$ on the new nids when they arrive.

I usually buy 3-4 big waves of models in a year. Current project: Traitor Guard.

Roughly £50 a month if there is a project I'm continuing.

This doesn't include Codexes or novels though.

If I'm starting a project, I sell the previous one to fund the next.

I've done a "tale of four gamers" project many times by spending £100 on the first month and no more than £50 in consecutive months.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
