As a the “owner” of a golden button for my Primarch project on this very site, I have dropped over a grand on 16 Primarchs.

Let that sink in – over a grand – for 50mm tall Resin miniatures which do nothing more than gather dust after I have painted them – if I manage to paint them at all (looking at you still unfinished Vulkan and Lion El’Jonson).

Do I regret that? Nope. As a 40+ year old man with no children (and a very understanding wife) I see my purchases as no better or worse than any other hobby/luxury item.

Do I think that money is well spent? is what I have in return for that money worth it? No, but I accept it as part of being interested in a niche hobby that can largely charge what is wants for its IP.

I am sure football season ticket holders have the same soul searching at the end of every season, but ultimately we all end up doing what makes us happy and damn the cost.
