If only I hadn't vowed to never, ever support GW again
along with the attitude of the (admitedly few) GW store emplyees that I met.
As long as people continue paying such prices for minis, the problem will never be solved.
Also, I hate WYSIWYG and the slow power and numbers creep of their games along with the attitude of the (admitedly few) GW store emplyees that I met.
Well, GW is almost single handedly responsible for the embarassing cost of miniatures these days.
Combine this with the fact that GW keeps jacking up their prices and you see the problem.
All in all, I think they're bad for the hobby because of their ridiculous prices
People will pay a lot for a GW model and so other mini makers charge like prices.
GW Store: I'm not saying that all GW store employees are complete jackasses, but the dozen or so I've met are. They are condecending, arrogant, and usually completely unhelpful UNTIL you look like you're going to drop more than $50 at their store.
IK: Warmachine
I built a fully functional VOID army for less than $100 over a year ago.
I will say that GW's plastic figures are insainly priced.
WYSIWYG: I love conversions, but I don't like how you can't proxy at all. By far and away this is a personal issue though and I don't expect much agreement.
Citadel minis aren't nearly as head and shoulders above the rest of the field as they used to be.
The expansions (of comparable size, page length, and content) cost around $30.
Here in britain all D20 books are £20. The PHB, the Fiend Folio, the CoC D20... all £20.
D20 is by far the most expensive game to get into on reflection.
You think Firelord is undercosted and broken? Cool, I want to play against you.
you might be easy to beat.
