A car is really expensive for just a big ol' lump of metal.

You pay for.

The best sculpturs in the world.

The finest quality of casting.

The people who work the store who also run events, clubs and make terrain for you to play on FOR FREE.

The packaging plus the designers of the packaging etc.

Plus GW dosent advertise, if it did you would pay more. Also it dosent con you by makeing things 3.99 etc, it makes it £4.

Are you on their marketing board?

Yes, it is quite expensive...but compare it to other hobbies:

- Collecting
- Painting
- Playing (very strategic game).
- Modelling

It costs roughly 300 euros (or dollars) to build a 2000 point army (average size). It will cost you a further 30 for paints, brushes, etc.

But...then you can play as much as you want with them!

Say you're into photography (which I am, sort of)...a digital camera with a reasonable lense is going to set you back at least 500 euros.

Lots of other collecting hobbies are at least as expensive, but you can't play with them (and still act like you're a grown-up anyways).

Look at sports! That's pretty expensive as well. Here in Holland 6 months of fitness will set you back as much as a full warhammer army.

So, yes, it is expensive, but not in comparison to a lot of other hobbies out there!

You have no idea how many new keyboards I've had to buy because of beer spillage due to chess-stress-related matters.

Alcohol induced CSR can have very expensive repercussions!
