Used to go into my FLGS with my wife all the time. Smelly nerds always aggressively tried to awkwardly flirt with her. Some guys were so obnoxious she refuses to even go in there anymore. Last straw was when someone assumed she didn't know how to paint, despite her having award winning models in the cabinets and he took her model forcibly from her hand and started slobbering globs of unthinned metallic silver all over it despite her painting it fucking bronze, to "show her how it's done".

They'll pay for it because they're unironically autistic and think every game piece has to look exactly the way it does on the box. I bought the big box of Horus Heresy which was crammed full of enough stuff to make it worth it (moreso because I paid for half of it in store credit at the lgs.) Plan on converting the 40 space marines in it into whatever marines I want, but when I commented on it in the general the other day, I got about 6 or 7 anons autistically shrieking 'NOOO THEY WON'T PERFECTLY RESEMBLE THE ACTUAL MODELS! YOU HAVE TO SPEND THE $100 AND BUY THE 5 SPACE MARINE KIT. YOU CAN'T JUST CONVERT THE 40 YOU JUST GOT FOR $3 A PIECE. STOP TRYING TO SAVE MONEY AND PAY THE MARKUPS REEEEE.' It's kind of bizarre how hard they seethe at the idea of someone trying to be a bit more intelligent with their money, but autism be like that I guess.

30k does have some excellent model design. I've considered getting into it for years just because of how much I like the Solar Auxilia models, but literally nobody plays it around here so it's hard to justify the cost and time investment, even with recasts. The new box set has sparked some interest, though, so maybe I'll finally jump in.

My assumption is that they don't expect customers to buy multiples of it like say a squad of tactical marines not to mention it's meant for a specific faction meaning even less potential sales requiring them to have to increase to price to compensate since alot of the cost of getting minis onto shelves aren't manufacturing costs but the costs of designing, managing, developing, mold making, etc.

Still too expensive tho, and not super smart from a business perspective as It's riskier than just a unit of troops and less likely to take in as much money imo

It is a model they can summon for zero points. It allows them to teleport between them and pretty much all of their mechanics interacts with them somewhat.

To be at least semi-competently played a sylvaneth player needs six groves, summoning one each turn. Meaning that they need to buy 2 of those boxes

back in my day I made trees by taking a clothes hanger, cutting it up into little pieces for the wire, taking 3 bits of wire and then wrapping them in tape with the top of the wire bent outwards. Then I cut paper into palm leaves, used the wire as the center of the palm frond, painted that green, painted the stem brown, jammed the whole thing into a chunk of foam which was sprayed green and glued with lichen and little rose bud flowers I got from the craft store and that was a jungle forest.
I then used wood dowel to create a cross, used the extra arms from a box of boyz (back in those days you got enough arms for sluggas/choppas or shootas) the sluggas/choppas glued to the wood dowel cross were stuck into a base, and then covered in more lichen. Those were my kommandos - and they hid in the lichen of the forest bases so that enemy players would forget that they were on the table.

I don't get why so few people mix mdf with 3dprint bits.
These complmet each other perfectly. MDF is great for quick and cheap large pieces of terrain, 3d bits are great for breaking the flats and detailing it to a decent level.
Even if you dont want to get into 3d printing yourself, you can get some cheapo online printing service that for 25 usd will print you enough grates, keypads and fuseboxes to pimp up dozen tables. Hell, if you know a guy with a printer he might do it for a beer - shits so small and low profile its extremely quick and cheap to print and finish.
