    Default GW price reaction poll!

    Everyone loves polls! And everyone loves more reactionary threads to GWs newest pricing strategies, shipping to the auzzies, and resin swapover!

    So I pose a poll! What are your plans with GW over the next six months? There are a lot of options, so chose carefully, and its a mutlipoll so you can chose a few reactions! Let me know what YOU'RE going to do?

    Personally, I'm going to back a bit away from 40K as its getting too pricey for me (paying rent, car, and putting the girlfriend through school), so I'm going to try to go back to some of the specialist games (Gorka Morka!) and maybe try something new like Warmachine. How about you?

    I see no poll

    But my plans are that I'll buy only the odd box here and there to paint, which means right now I'll be getting a box of Scourges and that's it for the forseeable future. I have no need to buy any more than that to play games and I'm not going to starta new army or expand my existing armies.

    It probably won't have an impact on me really, the models I intend to buy I will do so even if the prices are higher, I don't make many purchases each year last year it was probably around the £150 mark or there abouts so I'll continue to paint play and purchase as normal

    I'll continue to make purchases, but will buy only the newer multi part plastic kits that I like. The older kits with fewer options that don't stack up against the newer kits and the big metal/resin models that need to be in squads are off the menu.

    I'll also increase my bias towards online retailers and bits sites to save some money.

    I''ll continue to buy, and, quite honestly, GW has less to do with my spending habits than the other aspect of my life do. So, business will be as usual for me until I put a bun in the oven.

    Hopefully I'll have my titan by then ;-)

    I had to say I'm going to look to cheaper ways to build my armies. Most likely that will include looking into recasts. I have always found GW policies somewhat repugnant, and now they've finally crossed the line into encouraging civil disobedience.

    I have always brought GW goods from sites that offer them at a discount, since I discovered they exsisted. But tbh, I am not a serious spender, never have been never will. Just means a little more saving (and I quite good at that as it is :L)... Does not mean I won't be buying a reasonable bulk of the new DEldar, before the price hike (I.E pre-ordering)

    Yes. Recasting is the answer.

    i am not sure, but i believe he may be being sarcastic?

    personally i will still be purchasing from GW "via wayland games".
    I am between jobs at the moment and i can still save enough pennies to afford a battleforce "or other things" every month.

    Umm... it probably bears mentioning that it's probably NSFW.
