      Wait, you didn’t know this before getting into it? That’s the first thing I ever heard about it, and I’ve never owned any 40K anything.

      I remember in college, when someone would get into MTG, we’d jokingly say coke’s cheaper.

      Now, when someone I know gets into 40k, I much less jokingly say “MTG’s cheaper”

      Then again, if you’re just playing for fun against friends, a $200 3d printer is cheaper than any army I’ve seen. Still costs more than a $45 booster draft, but at least the printer’s a one-time cost

      To piggy back on this, don’t chase the fucking meta. By the time you get your Exaction Squad and paint it, GW will balance it into being a total waste of your time/money/points.

      Come give Warmachine a shot, army sizes are usually smaller and the rules are less “my rule book was published more recently, that means I win” (Plus the models are slightly cheaper).
