What if evryone on druchii.net stopped buying warhammer?

Crazyhorse · Post by **Crazyhorse** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 6:18 pm

I am wondering how many small countries we could all buy. No the real question I wanted to know is how much do you think you spend on warhammer a month and then in a year?

Month: I would say 25 to 100 dollars

Year: 300 to 500 dollars

I am sorry if there is a thread like this already, I did not find it.
But truly I am sure with asari.org and asur.org we could buy a country

My army is pretty much complete, but factoring in paint, brushes and sundry elements to add to my army, its about $15-$20 monthly, and about 2-3 hundred yearly. Not so bad when compared to the players on Underempire or Da Warpath, I think!

I'd say something around 10-15£ a month perhaps... But I must add, Warhammer is the most cost worthy investment I've ever done. "Nothing" has brought me the same amount of joy for the same money. Instead of buying miniatures I would have been able to afford perhaps a moped or something which I'd have fun with for half a year or something. So I'm not regretting those 10£ a month, quite the opposite actually

These days I don't spend that much money on WH...this, however, is due to the fact that in addition to all the painted minis (and there are lots of those) I have like 1,5 armies not or half-assembled and unpainted. In short, for the time being, I have all the models to finish any Druchii army I'd ever want to field, as well as replace most of the old Asrai minis with the new ones I've already bought.

I try not spend much at all these days. I'm much more patient these days to find good deals on eBay and the like to the point where I've barely spent any money in the last year or so on figs. Still likely $100 a year though on various stuff I suppose though.

Lets see, the last thing I bought was the new Eldar Codex, and I think that was it. Before that, it was the when the Wood Elf batallion came out. I spend very little on GW products any more. Most of my money is spent on guns and ammo these days....

I don't buy on a monthly period. Alot of my things are ordered in from elsewhere in the country/world so in order to save money, i buy bulk in about 6 month periods, can go longer when I have lots to do. But then the orders tend to spend alot larger, so when i do get models in I spend AUD$200+.

But i'm quite good, i don't get suckered into impusle buying. Although i've saved money from not buying White Dwarf. That magazine is just so lacking in content the past year it's been really depressing. they fill it up with pretty pictures, but there's just nothing to read like in the older ones. Battle Reports have been fast tracked and you get a deflated feeling of not even reading a "Battle" anymore. Old ones where a good long read with great theatrical's added into the actual game facts.

But I'm going off topic. More or less with the elimination of White Dwarf over the past year it's money that i think has been well saved.

I've restarted Warhammer last year after stopping it because of too small budget about 8 years ago.

I've bought additional 5k Druchii-Army (so my collection is about 6-7k points) and a 5k lizardmen-army.
In additon some other stuff (colors, a gaming desk, terrain, ...)

So I think in total I spent 2.000€ in last 9 months.

It should dramastically decrease in next time

The next really interesting thing is the new druchii-edition

The odd codex/armybook or paint pot. I'm keeping it real these days

Post by **Daeron** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 9:53 am

Due to inactivity I hevn't bought anything in a year and a half. Now, I'm first going to finish painting my army (still 1.6K to paint) so I'll buy only a few paint-pots and that's it. I predict 100$ by the end of the year.

Minsc · Post by **Minsc** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 9:57 am

Paints and Brushes (?).

I got:
40k:

Eldar (~5000 pts) - 85% painted, 45% based
Thousand Sons (~3000 pts) - 15% painted, 0% based

WFB:

Wood Elves (~8000 pts) - 80% painted, 20% based
Dark Elves (~5000 pts) - 15% painted, 5% based

So i got quite some stuff to finnish before I get new modells :roll:

I easily spend 8k a year on my "hobby". Altho it does not all go to GW as I am currently paying 2k to get an army painted for me in Poland.
This is just Canadian money tho!

Dancingpigeon · Post by **Dancingpigeon** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:09 pm

Hmm... I thought I was bad, but it appears not as bad as many :roll:

I've bought 1000pts of Orcs (90% assembled), 2500pts of Druchii (50% painted), 1500pts of Tomb Kings (80% painted), 2500pts of Eldar (50% painted), various paints, glues and brushes and a few chaos space marine models, mixed in with the odd showpiece miniature in the last year (EDIT).

I've also started to lower the amount of money spent on WH. At the moment, the last thing I bought was the Tyranid Codex, and before that, the Wood Elf army book. It's basically just paints and brushes. And the WD that comes in the mail once a month

The first two years that I got into this, I probably spent about $1500 on Warhammer and 40K figures. Then GW upped prices a few times and I stopped buying. I've probably spent less than $250 total in the last two years.

Pretty basic economics, really.

I dont' buy much WH these days, let alone play!

I reckon most folk 'ere already have their armies so it would have little impact.

The real money comes from new players imo.
