I visited once more my local GW yesterday. As I was keeping my distance to the other customer in the shop, a box of minis caught my attention:

They looked like the power-armoured goons of the Crimson Lance from the Borderlands video game franchise and the box read something like Primaris/Space Marine-Infiltrators, if I remember correctly.

These guys would make great cannon fodder for my Doom boardgames but when I saw the price tag all enthusiasm fled from my body:

45 Euros for ten dudes?! Really?! And they don't have many different weapons to choose from like a Devastator box does. So I shelved the box (1), had a small-talk (2) with the manager and left the store WITHOUT buying (3) anything.
At home I noticed that these three steps already turned into a familiar pattern whenever I went there. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898372.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898372.page GMT Primaris Scouts

They have an ability to stop deep strikers from landing within 12" and have a built in apothecary to bring dead guys back.


They are a bit overpointed for what they can do though and all GW kits are overpriced by about $10-15.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898381.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898381.page GMT Primaris Scouts
You get 10 infiltrators, 3 Suppressors, 3 Eliminators, and a Lt.

So while you pay more in absolute terms, the cost per mini is lower. And there is some nice stuff in the box.

With GW prices being what they are, I try to avoid just picking up a squad box. Wait for a bundle deal. Take what savings you can. Also, online resellers for discounts. (or e-bay for people parting out sets, second hand stuff)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898486.page GMT Primaris Scouts

Yeah, this is probably a good idea to shop somewhere else. I usually refrained from doing so often in the past to support the local manager but prices have gotten so ludicrous that I just can't justify the expenditure to myself anymore. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898516.page GMT Primaris Scouts FLGS, as I have spent years where there wasn’t one around, and that sucked. So I picked up my Indominus boxes from one, and just grabbed a SC: Nids from another. I know I was paying more then I had too, but I enjoy having a place I can pop over to and pick up a pot of paint. Or theoretically get a game in and chat with fellow hobbiests.

But mostly I rely on Amazon gift cards for my hobby budget. It’s my guilt free money, and I tend to pick them up as gifts, rewards from programs at work, or points rewards from my credit card. Can’t always find everything there, and new things sometimes take a few weeks to show up, but normally at a decent discount.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791059/10898562.page GMT
