Re: OT: Warhammer 40k
Yes, well, I don't know what 3 years you were buying those minis, but the prices of GW minis have increased drastically in the last few years. I remember when I first got into space marines, maybe 4 years ago, a box of 10 cost $20. Now it costs $35.
So, I did a little checking and basicly in order to get into the game you need about $180. This will buy you the basic starter box for the Space Marines, the rule book, and your codex. This assumes that you already have all the dice and other stuff you need to play. This will allow you to build a very limited 500 pt army which is about the smallest game you can get people to agree to play.
Other armies have starter boxes as well, but they are not actually complete armies, which means you will have to at least buy one HQ unit to feild them.
Like I said, I used to play the game, but now I seek other options. It is just too expensive.
