Given that I mentioned Paris H and began the slide into obscurity, I feel obliged to bring this thread back OT.
Has anyone compared the price of FW Tau to GW EA figs? Is it possible that the Tau have gone from the most expensive Army to the cheapest in fell swoop? With the price of resin vehicles it might be so!
I feel compelled to act For the Greater Good!

Anyway, back on topic......

The Tau are still the most expensive by a LONG way, but the gap has closed somewhat.
Average price per plastic infantry troop at the current price per box works to about 7p. (36 stands per box ?= 180 troops for 1200p)
Tau infantry is still around 8 times that, working out to about 50p each depending on which type you're buying!

Sure they are still more $ on a resin to plastic figure scale, but what about for a whole army? Surely the resin to metal vehicle ration brings tem back on par?

No chance mate.
If you take it as a 30p difference PER FIGURE on the infantry (and thats being kind on most of the range), you're totting up an extra ?1.50 per stand.
The Tau vehicles are one of the ranges from FW that are on a Parr with the E:A releases. ?6 or ?7 for 3 vehicles. They're not as cheap as the FW IG armour (?5 for 3)
You're certainly not going to recoup your losses from the infantry - at most you're saving ?0.50 per armour piece & the tau wont get far without pathfinders, crisis or broadside suits, let alone Kroot allies for assaulting._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Ok...Ok...
Maybe I'm really trying to justify my next round of purchases while seeming to be outraged at the new price hikes....

There's a slight difference. I still have to WORK to get money, she doesn't.
I wonder though if my collection is worth 4 years of anyones salary, perhpas I should find out.

I must admit to being a scale snob.
I do not like to own the same models that are of different scales. I do not mind a slight shift from "type to type" but I do not like to have two Baneblades, one of the FW and the other of the original metal. Either I want both one or the other.
Anyway, before I buy Valkyries from either source, does anyone have both that could take a few shots to show how different they realy are in size? This could make a differance for me.
Thanks
