Good Point.
However (and you thought you were going to get away with it), I don't see
Marine Commanders giving a damn about how much something costs. The
important factors are getting the job done and doing so without putting
marines at risk. A marine is a much more valuable commodity than a vehicle.
Surely, marines would get what ever equipment they wanted and with the
minimum of fuss. Imperial Guard are a different matter, equipment is more
important to them than men are.
Eldar would probably be in the same boat as the marines. Each life lost
would be tragedy.
Remember, Marines are virtually a law unto themselves.

Pretend you work in the garage (or whatever the military term is). Would
you let a commander requisition $2 billion worth of equipment when $500
million worth would do the same job?
They just don't seem to be worth the points (money in my example).
