@zeker1966 I don’t think it’s noticeably different in the UK.  Games Workshop’s primary customer is the middle aged man (30+) with a decent job and spare income.  And that’s true regardless of whether they’re competitive or casual – the latter are the majority I would say.

At the end of the day if you like it and you are prepared to pay it then I would say absolutely go for it.  If you aren’t, then don’t.  That’s the very simple message that addresses all of the problems in the original post.  There’s plenty of options available to you, whether you want to play 40k with alternative Miniatures or just want to do something else instead.  And if you are of this opinion then the chances are you aren’t too worried about playing in a tournament or needing to use official Miniatures.
