How do!
A thread apropos of nothing, as it’s not looking for evidence or owt. Just being asked in general interest. And as is tradition, I’ll go first. Sadly I can’t recall where I bought what, so I’ll give RRP - though most everything was bought as a discount, so knock off perhaps 10, 15% in general.
Age of Darkness Boxed Set x 2 - £390.00*
MkVI Legionaries x 1 - £50.00
Contemptors x 5 - £187.50**
Predator Tanks x 4- £170.00
Vindicator x 1 - £42.50
Leviathan Dreadnought x 2 - £100.00
Deredeo Dreadnought x 1 - £50.00
Kratos Battle Tank x 1 - £80.00
Sicaran Battle Tank x 1 - £50.00
Sicaran Venator x 1 - £50.00
Ceberus Heavy Tank x 1 - £70.00
Deimos Rhino x 3 - £90.00
Legiones Astartes Battlegroup x 1 - £125.00
Sky Hunter Squadron x 2 - £80.00
Special Weapons x 1 - £28.00
HB/ML Heavy Weapons x 1 - £28.00
Volkite/Lascannon/Autocannon Heavy Weapons x 1 - £28.00
Plasma/Melta/Flamer Heavy Weapons x 1 - £28.00
If I’ve done my sums right that’s a RRP of £1,647.00. However, due to mostly being bought at varying discount, and the odd trade, it’s probably closer to £1,500.00 or so, maybe as “low” as £1,400.00
*I traded the resulting 20 Cataphractii for 40 MkVI
**One of those I got a really good second hand price.

About $1100 total.
Honestly if you told me when Age of Darkness launched that I'd be spending that much on my Heresy army I'd laugh, but here we are. Don't regret it yet though, and I pretty much don't even play.

Gert is probably right, but here goes:
Age of Darkness boxed set
Legiones Astartes Battlegroup boxed set
Mk VI Marines x 1
Mk III Marines (OOP version) x 1
Kratos x 1
Deimos Support Predator x 2
Deimos Rhino x 4
Contemptor x 3
Leviathan x 1 (plus a ranged weapons set)
Sicaran x 2
Sicaran Venator
Land Raider x 2
Scorpius x 1
Sky Hunter Squadron x 2
Volkite / lascannon / autocannon set x 1
Missile launcher heavy bolters set x 1
Legion Praetor x 1
Yep, Gert was right - I don't want to add up the cost of all of this. I paid full price for most of it, although GW stuff is a bit cheaper here in HK. I also bought quite a lot of bits from eBay, Egg Heads, Megabitz and other sites, also an expensive exercise.

I've spent quite a bit of cash on the HH models, and even have the rulebook and Liber Astartes as epubs, but strangely enough might end up never playing Horus Heresy with 28mm miniatures
All the HH stuff I have bought is for (older editions of ) 40K. I might start playing HH with LI models though!

Age of Darkness
2x Mk3 Battlegroup
Cerberus
Kratos
2x Predator
1x Rhino
2x Mk6 Assault Squad
2x Contemptor
2x Leviathan
Special Weapons
Las/Volkite Heavies
Might also have Melta/Plasma Heavies, don't remember
Cerastus Castigator
All bought at 25-30% off
I already had 15 Tartaros on sprue on the pile of shame that are getting adopted to HH armies and probably the Imperial Knight xmas box and additional Armigers too.
Roughly 400€ pledge on The Damned kickstarter for Militia
+550€ Saturn 2 bought specifically for HH and a couple hundred for resin and other consumables

Oh boi, time to get me black book of planning out, AL first and also soon to be finished. AOD: 199 CHF Battlebox 129 CHF 2x additional 20 MK VI beakies: 119.80 CHF 1 box of intercessors for scopes and mags to create seekers. 49.90 CHF 2 predators 108.80 CHF 1 sicarian 59.90 CHF 3 Proteus land raiders 200.70 CHF 1 deredeo 59.90 CHF 1 Tartaros box: 64.90 CHF 5 Rhinos: 199.5 CHF 1 Scorpius. 49.90 CHF 1 Jetbikes: 54.90 CHF 10 Lerna: 205.92 CHF 1 Cataphracti praetor AL: 44.80 CHF Alpharius. 130.24 CHF Total for my AL force: 1677. 18 CHF. Without paints, glue or spraycans. Also another 900 CHF for display cabinets. so about 2700 CHF. For my AL. Or 2376 $ with the current exchange rate and including mobiliar. Without, a measily 1’475.9184 merely for the models for my AL army. Also armyshoot soonish. Ignoring of course my Militia army which would be another i guesstimate 600 CHF? (granted that force is far cheaper because it uses alternative models to GW for a lot of its core of infantry but it also has a Resin malcador...)

Ugh! So... at retail prices via my FLGS where I get a $10 coupon for every $100 spent I bought:
1 Age of Darkness box
1 Mark 3 Battle Group box
1 Standard Sicaran
1 box of special weapons
1 box of heavy weapons (lascannons, autocannons, and volkite)
2 Leviathan Dreanought
2 Rhinos
Liber Loyalists
From people breaking up boxed sets,
30 Mark 6 marines for $50
1 Spartan for $60
2 Contemptors for $50
From the Black Friday sale where HH items were 50% off:
2 Sky Hunter Squads
10 Tartarus Terminators
1 Rhino
1 Sicaran Venator
10 Cataphractii
Liber Traitors
Liber Imerialis
Stuff I had prior to HH 2.0:
60 Dark Angel Tacticals (mark 4)
5 Cataphractii Terminators
10 mark 3 (old models)
1 Contemptor (Calth)
5 Tartarus Terminators
1 Resin Spartan
1 Resin Sicaran
6 Sky Hunters in resin
1 Ultramarine Herald (Limited Edition)
2 Tartarus Praetors (limited edition)
1 Apothecary in cataphractii terminator armor (limited edition)
Some more characters (several captains, chaplain, librarian, apothecary, techmarine, etc. before the scale change)
I've got lots of Dark Angels and am making a traitor Legion and am struggling to decide between World Eaters, Night Lords, or Alpha Legion. Each one I'm torn to because they look like fun and should play differently from my Dark Angels. So far, I'm drawn more to the Night Lords - Terror Tactics, Terror Squads, etc.

28mm scale Titans?
You mad man!
Still, I understand the Warlord is a deceptively easy kit to build? Not easy easy, but well designed enough that the pinning essential to such a large and expensive model isn’t a faff.

It was the first titan designed in CAD and not by hand and it honestly shows. Legs and feet are so much easier than the warhound and reaver.

(which was basically the standard equipment to make SA even affordable and fieldable in HH 1.0) It's merely meh when you field it with a gravis. They do make for great cover though for your leman russes that you will equip with vanquishers, or volkit or plasma and they carry your most efficent units beeing volkit veletarii and rifle sections perfectly.

Not sure I want to add up what what I have spent so far, given I have three separate Dark Angel Forces which can cross attach units as needed😜
Now about to start a Ironwing Army for a summer campaign. So no pressure in getting it painted 🤪
So time to purchase tanks and more tanks 😂😂😂

I loved building the sentinels and the Dracosan. The Russ is...oof. Keep earbuds handy to remove any potential excess glue as it will ruin the trim if you're not quick at removing it.

Basically 2/3 or even 2/4 of the msrp. Because I can get plastic for trade+vat only and most of the crap FW sent me was miscasted, so I got replacements and sold the crap for more than half its worth. I also scalped a lot on ebay and used the funds to buy myself some more Heresy, so it was just free money I don't count as spending from my savings/earnings It's still a reasonable amount spent though. Probably around 2-3k euros in total.

Just three words:
WAY TOO MUCH
Seriously though, I have trouble counting because I bought some stuff on eBay and quite a few third-party stuff that GW for some reason was unable to provide, like, you know, Assault Marines or a variety of melee weapons or shields. I mean some of it is now available, but sersiously ... the stuff I got looks much better.
I did buy a lot of Dreads though as well as too many tanks.

So far the only things I have bought are:
2 box sets of Betrayal at Calth (still think this is one of GW's best games, and wish they had used this system for the HH).
1 Contemptor Dreadnought.
That said I have been gifted:
1 Age of Darkness box set
1 Liber Loyalists
Not a huge forces but I think it is enough.

Why Aye Ya Canny Dakkanaughts!

I started around Christmas, so in the last 3-4 months I've bought:
- Age of Darkness box set (£150)
- NL Contemptor + NL Contekars + 10x NL Raptors (£150)
- Deimos Rhino + 3x Vindicators (£126)
- NL Leviathan + arms (£100)
+ air brush, paint brushes and paints for like £120? (That's a massive estimation though)
So almost £650 in a few months
Next big unit will be some recon marines but I can potentially use a lot from the AoD box and my printer for that

My group has FINALLY gotten around to dipping our toes into HH2.0!
Let's see, what do I have that's actually HH branded (so no 40k that can just pull double duty - wich is a vast vast inventory. )
* HH2.0 starter box - minus 1/2 a Preator (I seem to have misplaced his legs & back somewhere over the last two years. Probably got swept into a bitz box....)
* 1 Typhon
* 2 Sicaran Venators
* 1 Deimos Rhino
* 1 Scorpius whirlwind
* 1 box of special weapons
* 1 box of Sky Hunters
* 2 Leviathans (ranged)
* 2 Leviathans (melee)
* All of the books
--------------
From FW:
* 1 Leviathan with 2 Melta lance arms ( HH, but bought originally for use in 40k 8e when I returned)
* 2 Deredo dreads (1 set of plasma arms, 1 set of autocannons, 2 missile launchers - again, HH but bought originally for use in 40k 8e)
* 3 Deimos Predators (magna-meltas) (bought a week before they announced the kit as being "Last Chance", arrived to me about two weeks before the plastic kit was revealed. :(
So whatever that works out to $$ wise.
Assume max discount on the plastics, & full price on the FW.
The only things I envision adding at this point will be a pair of characters with either jetbikes or jetpacks.
