Grim, for 40k, keep in mind the target audience. GW doesn't want the veteran players, because they have already bought a ton of minis. GW wants the newbie teenagers who are starting from scratch in building armies.

Hmm, am I the only veteran gamer who is still buying heaps of figures? Admittedly many are old models because they remind me of my youth or something... :oo  but I often buy those thru archives etc, and sometimes I just grab a completely new army. For example the new 40k techmarines and servitors inspired me to do an Iron Hands army this year - all new figures. A couple of years ago I bought up on some new tyranids...  

Around here what I see with veteran gamers (>30) in the 40k and fantasy scene, is that as soon as one army is finished the next is started. There is also often a competitive approach where everyone tries to make their new army more spectacular and unique than the last - in terms of painting, conversions etc. I know kids often have large disposable incomes form parents, but what about big kids with their own disposable incomes...  :;):

But thats no different to now DS! ???

Yet people keep buying...  :L

Hard to call them overpriced as long as people pay the price.

Based on sales data, Yes.  :oo

GW has done internal documents stating they have looked into the mater and the people most likly to buy their product on a stedy basis is 11-15 year olds. From there the $ spent on average drops.

My age did not even make it on the chart I saw.  :L

Attempting (vainly) to keep the topic something like on-topic, here's a WIP version of v2 of the AMTL list: Link

Thoughts?

Hi!

..and in that statement lays the truth of why GW will never support epic with any real interest...

..we ARE just a few compared to the multitude of core game players...  :(

Dysartes:

It seems the upgrade name is different for command knight/sensechal in different parts of the list.

That's the only think I've found so far.

Rats - I thought I'd caught that, neal - I'm reverting to using the Seneschal as a name for that unit, instead of the Command Knight.

Seneschal is a better name than Command Knight.

Either works for me.
