@zeker1966 It’s hard to do a comparison of ForgeWorld resin Miniatures really. Games Workshop have an inconsistent pricing structure based on how many of something they think they will sell rather than what the item may appear to be worth as an individual unit. However, their plastics are WAY more expensive than equivalent miniatures from other suppliers.

GW charge £30 for 10 Cadian Shock Troops. Mantic charge £22.50 for 20 GCPS troops. Wargames Atlantic charge £25 for 24 sci-fi soldiers.

GW are not just a bit more expensive than other suppliers of similar products, they’re a lot more expensive. That shouldn’t really been seen as a controversial statement, it’s blindingly obvious that that’s the case.
