      I thought that too. That’s why i bought a resin 3d printer and made it 1000x more expensive, toxic and time-consuming. yey me

      Wait, you didn’t know this before getting into it? That’s the first thing I ever heard about it, and I’ve never owned any 40K anything.

      I remember in college, when someone would get into MTG, we’d jokingly say coke’s cheaper.

      Now, when someone I know gets into 40k, I much less jokingly say “MTG’s cheaper”

      Then again, if you’re just playing for fun against friends, a $200 3d printer is cheaper than any army I’ve seen. Still costs more than a $45 booster draft, but at least the printer’s a one-time cost

              I only have an FDM printer xD You can still do a lot with it, though, especially if you’re willing to get a heat gun involved. Though after printing out the character in my profile pic, I did realize there’s a lot of small detail that gets lost with FDM.

              Alas, though, small animals, a cat, and poor ventilation make resin printing a bad idea for me

      To piggy back on this, don’t chase the fucking meta. By the time you get your Exaction Squad and paint it, GW will balance it into being a total waste of your time/money/points.

      Come give Warmachine a shot, army sizes are usually smaller and the rules are less “my rule book was published more recently, that means I win” (Plus the models are slightly cheaper).
