That’s probably not the best way to go about discussing prices. The Primarch models are forgeworld resin models, for starters, which have always been expensive, but totally not necessary to playing anything Horus Heresy. In fact, I wouldn’t play those at all, as they’re not in most battles. To be honest, I’d stick with epic scale for Horus Heresy or anything 40k related unless playing a skirmish.

Then as others have pointed out, perhaps not insulting people will go a longer way to having a productive discussion, but while we’re at it, the HH launch box comes with 52 marines (40 line troops, 10 terminators, 2 characters, a dreadnought and large tank, plus a hardback 350 page rulebook. Even if you discount anything else, you get the marines for ~2.8£ each in most online retailers, such as On Tabletop. You go to Warlord Games and buy a box of Bolt Action miniatures and it comes at around 1£ each for smaller models; you go to a skirmish ruleset of comparable companies, such as Corvus Belli or Privateer Press and you get charged at least those 2£/model. Infinity models, for instance, come to about 8£ each…

 

I criticize them and anyone’s free to do so whenever they choose, but refraining from going after the fan or player base would be perhaps a better way not to shut down the discussion.
