thats my final thread snapping.
Id rather play VSF anyway and some of those Titans will make excellent Iron Giants in 15 or 28mm
Bargains to be had - watch this space
EDIT - It would be interesting to graph the price rise of a Epic minis since SM2 era days and compare that to inflation, but I wont because (a) it will make me angrier, and (b) Ive had enough and cant be bothered.

Well, you'd also want to correlate "number of models" for a given price as well... I mean, only if you wanted to get *REALLY* angry...

I wish we could raise this issue on the SG forums, where someone from GW might actually see it, but since pricing discussion is strictly verboten, it wouldn't get anywhere.
Is there going to be an increase in the UK/EU markets? I haven't been able to find anything on the GW/UK website about it.

I know it would get locked right away, but I'm tempted to say something on the SG forum. Hell, I wouldn't even care if the SG mods banned me for life.

HHmm... "price per model" = ppm
If I can find historical data for the price of pewter I might just give this a go.

And which manufacturers would these be, then? There seems to be a shortage of good 6mm bugs. |
A mix of Pendraken, Brigade and Warrior. I'm using the smaller 10mm figures as the larger units such as Warriors, Hive Tyrnants, Raveners and Carnifexes. (I have used a GW 40k Tyrant Guard as a bio titan becuase it's a cool model and a good centrepiece.)
They aren't as high quality sculpts or casts as some of the GW stuff and they don't look like GW bugs but at the prices charged they'll do me for a third string army.

I understand, mine broke a while ago.
Too bad because I figure I have spent more then $600 this year alone in game and game related items. GW would have received a goo dpart of that, but not this year nor any year to come.
I am so sick of hearing that the older gamers do not spend money etc as an excuse for GWs failures. They are pure and simple morons.

I was pretty much planning on buying a feral ork army and enough new SMs to finish my new White Scars army.
After the ridiculous price of Squiggoths I pretty much dumped half of my intended Feral purchase and redesigned the force as a hardcore infantry horde.
The price of finishing my White Scars was already a bit daunting given that it's a lot of metal but I had just about come to terms with actually buying all new blisters to get it done in one pass. I'm not so sure now.
I would really like to talk to their marketing people.
And I don't mean that in a "dark alley" kind of talk, though that is currently tempting also.

| Quote (primarch @ 24 May 2006 (14:54)) | | The current price increases is GW's way of telling you they will soon pull the epic line. |
So if I want that last few packs I need to buy them?
I think I will pass. I have other, larger fish to fry for now.
