Ok i dont want this to turn into a rant.

The only reason, in my opinion, that people have to think about starting warhammer is the prices. This is one of my biggest hobbies and i like to put a lot of effort onto it. I try to forget about the prices but during my visit to GW i was amazed to see an exorcist priced at 30 quid, I could get a raider for that!!!! The reason I was surprised is that the only thing that separates a rhino form itself was a little rocket rack.

I respect that an aweful lot of work goes into making models, but i dont want to pay 12 quid more for a rocket rack.

Aside from this i remembered that squad and regimental box sets had gone up 3 quid, why???

Why havent we got plastic terminators??? Surley that would make them cheaper, 20 quid for five is not good.

Why has the price of white dwarf gone up in the past year, TWICE!!!!

Im not gonna quit warhammer just because i dont like the prices. Im not gonna quit, period.

I did buy the exorcist.

There's very little point. As soon as peer wanders in, this thread is history.

At the end of the day, it's a luxury hobby. If you don't like the prices, don't buy. If you don't like the price of an exorcist, buy a Rhino and convert. Or check out Ebay/ web-retailers for discounts.

Basically, GW will charge whatever prices it likes. They're only answerable to their share holders, not their customers. And people will pay them, or they'll switch to other games systems.

I think M0thra hit the nail on the head. As long as people like us keep buying GW products, they have no incentive to lower their prices. I agree that the prices are too high, but there's hardly anything we can do about it; we can either stop buying little plastic men or accept the high prices and waste more money. I'm locking this thread now because we've been through this dozens of times before.


Also the Exorcist is the most overpriced model in the history of mankind
