How much do you spend on your wargaming hobby?

[MarkRG]

Hi Guys
I was wondering how much we really spend on our hobby per year.
For the last two years i have spent about £50 per year on models but over £100 on yes GW novels per year.

In my army days in the 90's it was probably £1000 per year.And yes mainly GW stuff. M

Last year, a lot. I had money from work at last and spent £150+ on Hasslefree.

I spent about.. I dunno, maybe £50 on second-hand GW in the form of Tyranids.

you know i'd have to say, i have know idea. When i did play alot. it came up to £2000-£3000 per year it wouldnt suprise me, since i lost my intrest in GW less than £50 & thats on OOP paint & inks

Boy... a lot I'm sure...
Haven't been into minis for that long, but just some things I remember:

- HeroQuest game €35,-
- D&D boardgame €15,-
- Mantic Mhorgoth's Revenge €39,-
- Ogre Battallion secondhand unpainted €42,-
- Some extra Ogre bodies €10,-
- Skaven Clanrats €19,-
- LotR rangers €17,-
- LotR Troll €12,-
- DragonStrike game... I think it was about €25,-
- Reaper Bones KS... whew,  $383,- and there will be taxes on top of that...
- Zombicide (although I consider that a seperate game, not mixing with my fantasy hobby) $550,- no taxes.
- Night Goblins €13,-
- Paints and brushes and such... around €100,-
- Some milliput, instantmold, extra bases, some loose models from GameZone etc. probably around €100,-
- Chibi dungeon adventurers KS $278,- plus taxes.
- MYTH boardgame $141,- no taxes.
- Just now: Itar's Workshop hirst-arts resin dungeon tiles + accessories. $210 (about €210 including taxes and handling)

So what I can remember of the last 2 years, that would make about €1387,- in total, excluding the Zombicide KS.
That makes €695,- a year on average. Wow. But then again, when I receive them Bones, I'll probably simply be done for quite some time. I don't think i'll ever need more minis hahaha (untill I spot something new I really like :P)

its suprising isnt it, just how our little addiction can be & how OCD we can get

[MarkRG]

When i first got into wargaming 40K 2nd ed i was very OCD. I lived and breathed GW stuff. Coming to think of it i was probably spending more than £1000 per year when i first got into it.

[jogar_t_hutt]

oh Mark, i feel your pain bro. i remember........ (Right, before i start i must explain, this habbet we/I have, i have stop/start thing going 4 times, first when i was 8-9 with citadel minis (pre-sloty stuff) until i was 13, then again at 18 with Epic lastly in my mid 20s with 40k 3ed. right thats done back to it) .......back then when i started my last attack of GWitus, i built 3 armies in 18 months, i'd think nothing of blowing £60 just on minis, (this was back when 10 SM was £10)

[MarkRG]

Yes mate these were the days. I have so many armies i don't really get the time to game with them anymore. I still have a dwarf army to build and paint (Mantic) and my nids from two of the old boxed sets i think 5ed to build and some secondhand stuff i need to paintstrip and repaint. With my reduction in buying models these last few years i'm slowly catching up for when money was no abject. Pre girlfriend days lol. Oh i nealy for got space hulk 3rd ed to do as well. AAARRRRRRRRR

fucking fuckloads.

at my peak, £30+ a month. now... i have eased back simply as there is nothing left to buy! i have it all pretty much.

the real test will be when new IG tanks come out.
