Why is 40k so expensive?

I love these models, but I can only imagine the shame and deep embarrassment that it would generate to have to carry this from your car into your local gaming hall as you walk past the normies.

Then you're inside and you have to heave it up and ontop the gaming table, everyone will say it looks awesome and cool but deep down you know they're just thinking it looks like dogshit 3 feet above the rest of the table top game.

Bring back epic 40k!

>How embarassing

I remember 3 of theese fuckers fighting eachother. The whole army looks like the scenery next to them

Because it's a luxury commodity. Most games are.

>Bring back epic 40k!

40k won't bring back Epik because then the hobby would be reasonably priced.

No game is expensive if you play against people with the same budget as yours. You can play Kill Team, SW:A or 500-1000 pts games and it still the 40k tho

>play with quarters
>each squad is still $12.50 because you're running conscripts

Such is life in the Guard.

Labor and expertise. Sculpting ain't easy, and neither is mold making and casting on such a large scale.

>that doujin
Pls no

Kill team is such a poor excuse for the overpriced models in 40k.

If 40k played like infinity, the prices would be competitive. But it doesn't, 40k is a 15mm game stuck in a 28mm body, so again, massively overpriced.
