The whole 'Faith and Fury' description gives me hope.

I have a weird relationship with my Word Bearers, in that I love them but my army looks like shit. I fell in love with a brownish-red take on their armor, and have tried many ways to make it work, but nothing doing.

That's...an interesting take on their color scheme. I've only ever seen that deep crimson or the pre-Heresy grey, like on the Forge World models. What shade is it exactly?

There's also a picture in the CSM Codex that's got that red-brown scheme.

Probably not gonna happen given the two people who updated that faction has been gone for decades by now chief.
 
if there is one thing people will never forgive GW for doing other than killing fantasy, its the bullshit they pulled in the storm of chaos campaigns.

$350 for 25 models and a codex!
$210 for a Celestine and Greyfax box! (the original 3 pack contained them and Crawl for $100)

This is some next level price gouging, holy shit.

That must be Australian money. It's $210 USD. Admittedly not great, but not terrible either, considering it comes with the army, codex, core rules, datacards, and dice. My LGS does discounts on preorders, so I'm paying $178 for my set.
 
This isn't directed at anyone in particular here and isn't to claim that the prices mentioned are good but just as a contribution to a general thread...

I used to bitch severely about the cost of GW resin/plastek. Then a friend pointed out to me that I have no problem blowing in excess of $100 pretty much every time I go to the (shooting) range. I don't know why but I never thought of it that way. It's true though. I never bitched that ammo was expensive and I typically was using it up! (never got into reloading) whereas I could get some nice models for that amount and use them a bunch of times and keep them on the shelf lookin cute. Never really felt all that bad about buying minis after. It's still bullshit but whatever. We're grownups with a hobby...these things are literally made to eat disposable income and actually would probably be less fun if they didn't.

The one great thing about the high prices is that they keep out the undesirables. You know who I'm talking about. It takes genuinely geeky commitment, not just the insincere kind you can boast about on social media.

Exactly. Spending $50 on a video game and memeing it up is one thing, building an army, buying the codices and then black library books and learning the lore to an almost religiously autistic level is another. Pretty much why ours is one of the only remaining pristine fandoms (well, relatively, you had Gav Thorpe use some autistic pronouns but at least he attempted to give an in-universe justification that almost made sense; problem was the character wasn't Slaaneshi corrupted...)

For low budget casuals, can't they just pirate all the literature from that "Trove" site that has all the RPG and tabletop rulebooks and lore books? And then those Chinese/Russian pirate operations further cut down cost of the actual miniatures.
 
I actually have had troubles finding a lot of Black Library books that I would like to pirate (hint?) Codices sure, easily available. The bootleg figurines I'm not sure, people do it, but in some circles it's really frowned on. Especially if you go to GW official shops if you're British (I'm not) but I guess they don't cotton to it at all and some players will get mad too. Dunno, never seen it, nor been to an official GW shop (although I def wanna go to Warhammer World some day.) Then there's 3d printing. Which I haven't gotten into at all but my understanding is that the figures look chunky and are hard to paint? I dunno (I can't paint for shit anyway.)
