I'd say eBay but that comes with unseen problems.

Why the hell does Games Workshop charge so much anyway?

[Vester]

Profit.

[Jackrabbit]

I was thinking more the fact that some things are so powerful you shouldn't be able to buy a lot of them, but then I thought, 'points'...

Why can't we have a nice megacorporation for once?

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

You know, other then Praxis from the Red Mars trilogy, I've never actually seen a non-villainous one.

@BuriBuriZaemon: Do you know where the nearest GW shop is?

I suspect I'm going to Singapore, real soon, if I got the scholarship (I hope )

In Indonesia? I don't know any that was still running before I left to Australia, one and a half years ago. You may need to go to Singapore, although I've never known whether they have a store there or not.

Just wondering, anyone rich enough to buy The Spear of Sicarius?

[Nilocy]

If your looking for something other than the little itsy bitsey hoomans and orkz fighting on a tiny map. Try out Battle Fleet Gothic. Space battles ftw.

I'm looking at the Games Workshop site because I'm thinking about what side I'd play as. I think that the Imperial Guard fit my preferred tactics very well, but to get Assault on Black Reach, a Cadian Battleforce, an Imperial Guard Cadian Command Squad, an Imperial Guard Chimera, a Imperial Guard Leman Russ Battle Tank and an Imperial Guard Codex costs a total of $477 Australian. If I leave out the tank and the command squad, it's still $367. If I switch Assault on Black Reach with the rulebook, it's $348. I'd be willing to pay either of those last two. Anyone got any advice or recommendations for me, keeping in mind that this is all theoretical and I'm not about to go out and buy anything?

You don't need the Assault on Black Reach package at all.  That's an introductory box with a stripped down rulebook, some scenery bits, and piecemeal set of Space Marine and Ork figures.  If you want to start a Guard army from scratch, just buy the Guard stuff.

Your list of stuff to buy is a little odd to me.  A Battleforce set plus a Command Squad actually isn't enough units for a basic army - you'll need more infantry.  Trust me, the best way to start is to get the Codex, then decide how you want to build an army, before buying any figures.

Thanks. This is exactly the sort of thing I asked for. There is a shop nearish to me that sells WH40K stuff_{^{in Ararat}} so that might be useful to me.

In Ararat?

Oh yeah, I am going to Singapore anyways.

How much is a Tau army, anyway?

[Keita]

Probably a lot, like all the other armys.

Battlefleet Gothic FTW!

Medium depending on what you take.
Hordes cost alot.
MEQs(Marines & Their Equivalents) cost are low

[AussieGuy]

Personally i like fantasy more than 40k. I play with a high elf army. They are the cool elves not the treehuggers

[BuriBuriZaemon]

IndonesiaWarMinister: Try this store, the only one in Indonesia listed on GW website.

Mall Taman Anggrek Lt 3 no 332

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

Allright... I'll hunt for that shop when I have time.

For now, I'm satisfied with DoWII (Yeah, I just got it)
