Oh dear I was right then, so that means I wont be buying any of those
then at least not for a long time. Didn't realise they'd gone that
far!
So if you want to collect a new army how many boxes do you reckon
you'l need if 1 box = 2 sprues, 12 maybe ie �60, and thats before you
buy any metal stuff and after the game, OUCH.
The price of metal allthough slightly higher now is nowhere near as
expensive proportianaly compared to the old system then.
Is there anyone on the list who has started after Epic 40k came out
using new minatures? How much did they spend to get reasonable size
army in a race other than orks or marines?
