Dark elves released in October?

No it's not though Vince. WFB and Kings of War is a fair comparison, yes. However you cannot say that H/WM are a different entry point. Say I want a 2400 point Warhammer army, with some choices, for tournament play. I'm looking at somewhere as you said £300-£400. Warmachine, I need two casters min, each who use differencing Warjacks. A colossal, and two or three units of metal models. Just throwing some rough models for a Cryx army together for prices, before discounts that's a cost of approximately £360*. Malifaux to play at a comparative level, you want every master in your chosen faction, and every model those masters can have access to, quite a selection of which are out of faction. Again for a Skirmish game, to be played correctly, you are looking at again a similar price to WFB.

Today I want to Gripping Beast to pick up everything I need to push my Welsh up to 7 ( SEVEN,) points. It set me back...........£153. Coupled with the £44 starter, that's 7 points for just under £200. Ok it's a tad excessive with the Welsh (nearly everything can ride a horse, and metal horses are expensive,) but just so I have options for a tournament, my weeks pay-check has been eroded. Only advantage, is I more or less have a second faction (Strathclyde Welsh,) so I have army options for the money.

Don't always look at model count, and think that's all that will count. Options and tournament requirements (such as WM/H lists,) all contribute to an armies cost.

Oh and I think the 90% of the Kings of War range, looks like its gaming on a budget. My Goblins despite being cheap to buy, are horrid models, that I don't want to paint.
