Printed Codexes are really struggling to be a value proposition now, especially with how quickly they go out of date.

I spend massive amounts of time out of "normal" life conditions, places where phones don't work etc, so not needing to be able to keep a phone charged just to play a tabletop game is nice for me, I enjoy having the books, and the cards, I definitely think some option ought to exist to allow people to purchase digital copies, but I personally enjoy having physical media still, probably a relic of my having grown up in the late 80's and 90's

My GSC is a funny one. I won two GW vouchers that together were 55€, then I bought one of the old combat patrols, the acolyte sprues had some weird streaks on them and I messaged GW about it and they sent me ANOTHER COMBAT PATROL instead of the acolyte box because i guess it was easier to copy and paste my order. So realistically, i got 2 combat patrols for 70€ which is 70€/64 minis =1.10€. Two rockgrinders for 2.20€ is bonkers. I also bought the boarding patrol mainly for the characters and because it was a good combo of expensive squads aswell. So i got a full army of GSC for 170€. I still want the other vehicles and characters but tue characters are kitbasheable

Currently building a GSC army, I’m lucky as I was able to buy two of the old combat patrols… once I’m done I’ll pick up 2 of the new combat patrol (I think it’s pretty good) Bonus - GSC are hella easy to kitbash characters and the Rockgrinder/truck kit comes with 3 bonus dudes That’s allowed me to kitbash a primus / nexos / sabatour and a few more What’s great is there’s still some of the army boxes floating around Hoping to get 2000 points for under €500 2 x old combat patrol €112.5 (flg discount included) €112.5 New combat patrol €117 Codex army box €150 It’s so sad that the old combat patrol is dead… it just kills new interest in the army

Have fun with Sisters, Kierans, because in AUS there's a case for them to be the most expensive army, possibly more than even AdMech. The pricing for their vehicles and characters in particular are just insane Regular Rhino: $64 AUD Sisters Rhino: $110 AUD The Castigator is below 1ppd in AUS ($155 for 150 points) whereas the Dunecrawler is sitting far more comfortably at 1.28ppd. Even the battleline both remain competitive (for worst army pricing) at more or less a point a dollar. Looking at their characters, a Dominus and Manipulus are both worth more points (75 and 65) and cost equal to most sisters generic characters, and those that cost less aren't by a huge margin in dollars, but definitely are in points. It's actually insane. Edit: Obviously this is all at GW webstore prices, but even still, you're still coughing up an enormous amount of money third-party for Sisters

As probably one of only a few kiwis watching, I was able to afford it before i has twins.... Having a full time job, no mortgage, no kids = good spending money. Secondly, and also slightly embarrassed, i have 4.5 armies. Main one being daemons and i have a good amount of them. Still need to get a few more models to round out everything. I've bought most of my models second hand of troll trader. Love that site. Still check it regularly But our biggest problem is that there are no stores that sell models at 20% discount WITHIN NZ. If we want that we have to order from Aus.

1:40 but those prices in Australia you mentioned are AUD and not USD. So its not "100 Dollars (implied US) for a Codex" it is around 66 USD for an Australian Codex. A Australian Codex with 66 USD in according to the Big Mac Index (jan 24) approx 13 Big Macs. A Codex in the US is 60 USD which is roughly 10.5 Big Macs. Don't get me wrong, 100 AUD (13 Big Macs), 60 USD (10.5 Big Macs), 47.50 EUR (8.8 Big Macs) or 37 GBP (8.4 Big Macs) is WAY too much for a GW Codex. But I think you shouldn't address this issue without explaining those prices are AUD which is only 2/3 of the USD... ;)

If you're in NZ, buy from GapGames (it's AU). It was significantly cheaper to buy from there even with shipping, and shipping from AU to NZ isn't that bad time-wise. Still expensive, but much better than buying from mightyape or GW's store.
