That sounds like a lot but I have buddies who have spent d"I cuss too much"n near that much on one golf club. Between my son and I we currently have:īetween the purchase of these models, gaming aids, rule books and materials for building game tables & terrain pieces we have spent somewhere between $1,000 & $2,000 on stuff. If you think about it from a cost of hobby perspective, being a "gamer" is really not that expensive a hobby. I have found that if you enjoy the modeling, basing and painting then the cost of it all is not that hard to swallow. Outside of the fact that it is expensive to play, I actually count the other things you listed as positives and not drawbacks. My best suggestion is to go to the Games Workshop online website and check out what they have to offer. On the upside the 40K universe has some great storylines and they have numerous paperback books out about 40K. Games Workshop has raised their prices every year for the last several years. The rules are also a bit extensive and you will have several rule books laid out around you when you play (the books aren't cheap either). To have a basic army it would run you about $300 and there are currently 8-10 armies in the 40K universe. You are paying now about $35 for 10 plastic miniatures and the vehicles range from $30-$55. The miniatures are expensive and they are also time consuming when you have to assemble, paint, and flock each figure to make them look good. But, I have to warn you Warhammer 40K does have its drawbacks. It is a fun game and even more enjoyable when you have a group of people who play weekly. I used to play Warhammer 40K from about 1989 to 2002.
