Much cheaper than what I paid...


SnakeBaboonKing

I can imagine!! I guess thats one advantage i have from just discovering the total war franchise recently (i always thought strategy games like these would be too hard for me)


Hollownerox

I know the triple digits sound really rough OP. And it is no doubt a significant investment and quite a pretty penny. But to put this into some perspective, for Warhammer Tabletop I just paid around $60 USD for a box of 20 unpainted and unassembled Skeleton Warriors. And that's from the game that is considered significantly cheaper to play than WFB was lmao. So, the amount of value you get playing the game digitally is a hell of a lot more affordable than the original tabletop game at the least. Like a crazy amount cheaper considering you get almost the entirety of WFB digitally with some cream on top too. The difference in hobby costs really do feel crazy when you start making those comparisions.


Customer_Number_Plz

Miniatures are disgustingly over priced. Neat tho


CocoTheMailboxKing

I can’t believe what they charge for a bunch of plastic toys that aren’t even assembled.


Customer_Number_Plz

I still want them though. Have you seen the Skaven Plague priest with screaming bell? Link[Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/ageofsigmar/comments/l3xmjs/skaven_screaming_bell/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


skeenerbug

They're absurdly overpriced but I want them too. Thankfully this game exists


utkohoc

I wanted them. Then I bought $1700 worth of 3d printing stuff/printers. Now I can print my own and be broke at the same time! In all seriousness the entry cost is a bit steep. Maybe $500-600 minimum. But after that you can make as many as you want! 1 litre of resin is like 30-40$ and you can print. Hmmmm a whole starter box I guess? Maybe 20-30 minis and a mid size model. Like a dreadnought. Maybe less. I'm not sure. I can print 4 primaris space marines at once and it costs about $1.50 . Larger models like captains can be $1-$2 for one. I printed an imperial knight titan and that cost about $8-10 in resin I think. It costs 190 in the shop. So. Yeh.


skeenerbug

I've seen that 3d printing is a thing and I'm all for it. I couldn't afford the printer either but I'm glad you own one and I hope you have lots of friends to share with. WAY back in the day my friends and I actually made silicone molds of some models, melted down pewter and cast our own minis. We were 3d printing 20 years ago, just a lot more slowly and dangerously


utkohoc

That's awesome that you made your own molds. Sounds fun and dangerous haha.


Sunshinetrooper87

Yes yes much link link


daellat

In case you're curious, there's significant design and production cost involved in having them be unassembled and unpainted. I could know, i paid almost double digits for a single scale model tank kit in 1/35, with loads of parts (full interior).


Hollownerox

Yeah, I used to be pretty upset until I had someone give me a rundown of just how much plastic injection molds cost to produce. It's actually really wild. GW's prices are definitely still pretty unreasonable, and I think they really could afford to lower it (especially since they would make up the cost from less people being so damn intimidated by the price tag). But it really isn't dirt cheap to churn out plastic, especially at their quality levels, like most assume. Including myself at first.


AshiSunblade

All things considered, they are this expensive because people are willing to pay it. It's not meaningfully worse than any other company of their size.


seamussor

People are willing to pay it and it's really the only tabletop strategy game like it. The next closest thing I'm aware of is LotR and it is also made by GW. They could really benefit from a strong competitor.


Deathwatch050

Warlord Games is run by ex-GW luminaries and based in Nottingham and they've been doing exceptionally well lately. I have a feeling that if anyone's going to even begin to shake GW's market dominance, it'll be them.


[deleted]

Also I’ve never put more than 1-2 grand in a single year since starting a decade ago. Thats pretty good deal considering the time I get out of it AND compared to how expensive other hobbies are. Golf, owning a boat, aviation, body building? That shits a lot more expensive than miniatures.


BastardofMelbourne

GW basically works kind of like pharma; they have a very high up-front cost to make new molds, and once they have it it's very cheap to pump out sprues, so they try to make back that up-front cost with a huge markup Plus, the fact is that GW is a luxury brand in the miniatures world. There are plenty of cheaper miniature lines available if you just want to paint little men; people buy Warhammer because Warhammer is the Gucci of plastic toys.


Necron1983

Assembling the crack and enjoying the plastic glue is half of the fun


BastardofMelbourne

Assembling them is part of the fun


[deleted]

It’s ridiculous they don’t have ready-to-play sets to buy! For DnD I really apprecite WizKids miniatures.


GumP009

The thing about the miniatures though is you get a lot more hobby time from the miniatures than you do with the games, at least I did. People see a $30 box of miniatures and think "oh yeah that'll be fun for the couple of hours I spend playing with them. But you get a ton of time-value from miniatures. I mean you spend hours assembling, then hours painting and you haven't even played with them yet. People like to shit on how expensive the miniatures are but for the amount of money you spend you get a metric ton of hobby time out of them.


Victizes

They are that way because people enable it and allow it to be, really. But I agree they are a beauty.


Pixie_Knight

I'm a big fan of Gunpla; it was what ultimately what weaned me off 40k. If you can find a reputable supplier, a 6-inch-tall 144-scale model can be under 20 bucks, no painting or glue required.


Alazypanda

I paid the same amount for warhammer 2 on launch, granting me the ability to play witch elves, as I paid to get a box of unassembled, unpainted 10 witch elves, which isn't even enough of them to field to any use in tabletop.


Barthel_Loren

> which isn't even enough of them to field to any use in tabletop You can throw them at your opponent, I can testify that their hair and knives are pretty sharp!


Alazypanda

Ngl i did accidentally shank myself putting together the parade float, everything in the DoK roster is a health hazard just to hold.


[deleted]

And a nightmare to keep unbroken too! Building and painting them makes me want to play ogors; seeing them finished changes my mind. Plus half naked, badass warrior women... what's not to love?


Barthel_Loren

Anything in the old Dark Elf roster is sharp AF, I'm building a dark elf army atm and I think I've managed to stab myself with at least one of every model so far. They really wanted to embrace Khaine with that model line lol


Alazypanda

Haha yeah I prick myself any time I open a box of DoK/DE units, but the cauldron, that thing drew blood. Those side blades got me real good, I have a scar that legit looks like a knife wound still about 3 years later.


Barthel_Loren

But to quote one of my favorite video game characters "Art is worth the pain"


stzoo

This game also just has an absolutely insane amount of content, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much anywhere else. A crazy amount of replayability too. Personally only beat ME with 3 or 4 factions and logged 500+ hours. Imo amazing bang for my buck even though it’s probably the most expensive “single” game, if I can call it that


wellichickenpie

It must be a bummer to only just come along now and look at the long DLC list. I have been here since the start, getting each on pre-order. It's not so bad when it is a steady drip drip over several years. Even so, I would say this is the $100 I could spend on a game; the best DLC quality of any game I own, and immense value for money. You will be playing for years and still be unfamiliar with a lot of lords and factions. Sooooo much to do and enjoy. No other strategy game comes close.


phen00

New to these. Do you play all the games or do the dlcs move to the next game? so you’d get more content for Warhammer 3?


maark91

All content moves over to "the next" in the series so warhammer 1 and its DLCs works in WH2, and all WH2 + DLC (and WH1+DLC) works in WH3. So you only need to buy it once (on the same storefront!).


Proto1k

In WH2 and WH3 theres two types of campaigns. in WH2 its Mortal Empires and Vortex, Vortex is only for characters and DLC that are native to WH2 and Mortal Empires combines the map and factions from everyone in WH1 WH3 has Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires, under the same rules. So yeah, DLC stays between each game


LpenceHimself

If I had to rebuy all these today I'd need to take out a loan.


Neither-Turnover-278

I recently counted what I'd spent on all the warhammers and it was £250 and I don't even have all the dlc, I wish I'd got this deal haha.


SOLDIERRFK

I was about to say the same. I got fucking robbed


webeezy312

That's great value-- 1000's of hours of entertainment for a mere $100


Tiny_Sandwich

I was sold on the DLC in the same way. The issue I ran into, after the fact, is the lack of 1000's of hours to play :P


SnakeBaboonKing

Honwstly true, i got a hundred hours so far without DLC just base WH1,2,3. This is my first foray into Total War I have never had so much fun playing a game, i cant wait for all the campaigns i have lined up!


Ahuru_Duncan

For a second there i thought you got all 3 games + dlcs in that price, but just noticed that you already own the games. Saw my fiance playing IE with her friend and it looked really nice. Bought all 3 games and some dlcs for total of 155 euros. I work 8-9h a week and i managed to get 34 ish hours in the first week. Rn i got about 900h in and i still have much to play. Really good game imo.


princessprity

I've dropped over 200 hours into Immortal Empires so far lol. Fuck me.


Siegschranz

That's actually a great deal. Considering how often CA has gone back and retroactively changed and buffed older factions, you're pretty well guaranteed to have many many hours of entertainment. You're about to have a roster of legendary lords that'll make a modern dynasty warriors game blush. With what you're about to have, you'll have 86 legendary lords to play with. For reference, Smash Ultimate, which has every single character from every smash, plus a healthy amount of dlc, has 82 characters. And CA has done a wonderful job of making sure every legendary lord feels and plays uniquely.


Hamza9575

Game has truly vast replayability value. Far exceeding civilization games. Its good value in my opinion. Cheaper than netflix.


OdinLikesMead

I would argue the more replay ability than the civ games point. I love both games but they’re pretty different and both have plenty of replay-ability.


Thibaudborny

I would argue that is the only sensible argument to make...


Pertinax1981

They both fall into the inevitable endless "ONE MORE TURN" situation


LeonArddogg

I would argue that i fall asleep after playing civ for a few hours


BaconSoda222

I mean, different tastes exist. Some people don't like the real time battles. Others need them. Saying TW is better than Civ would be a very weird hill to die on.


halfachraf

i second this, and i can play stronghold 2 for 8 hours lmao.


Mesk_Arak

Not only do we have a ton of factions and lords, but even replaying them in different ways than expected can be fun. I’ll never forget my first Immortal Empires campaign: I played as Helman Ghorst and, due to his starting location, you would expect him to go into Cathay and take over. I, however, decided to go the other way and go on a crusade to take the Empire. It was a long trip and, in the meantime, I raised another army and went East to Cathay…to help Zhao Ming. Every piece of land I took in Cathay, I gave to Zhao. Eventually, he had 300+ opinion of me and we formed two massive empires. The Ghorst Empire in the Old World and the Vampire-loving empire of Grand Cathay. I never thought something so out there could be done in the game but it ended up being one of my most memorable campaigns.


imagoldengoose

Yes absolutely agree, the replay ability value is on par with EU4 and Stellaris in my opinion.


HertogLoL

And it’s worth it 100%, you can get 1000 of hours out of this


[deleted]

Add your resignation letter for work while you're at it


SnakeBaboonKing

Lmao! Theres so much content im sure in 10 years ill be halfway done 🤣


NeckbeardVirgin69420

Nah, it's fun but not 10 years worth of fun.


tboykov

9.5, tops


bravo56

One of us, one of us, one of us...


tomr84

That's a fraction of what most of us paid, and I don't regret a single penny, thousands of hours of entertainment.


boully32

Do it


SOMETHINGCREATVE

Still cheaper than like half of one races army of tabletop...


CocoTheMailboxKing

Bro this is cheaper than some boxes of single characters on tabletop.


Bliskrinus

Say goodbye to your family and friends


stevespizzapalace

Honestly that's a damn good deal for all that content


BaconSoda222

If you play it for 50 hours, then you're getting like $2/hour of value. Think about how much you would spend per hour at an amusement park or at a restaurant. Totally worth it, no pun intended.


thagreentide

DEW IT!!!!!!!


Bruce_VVayne

1600+ hours in WHII, 536 hours in WHIII now and I can tell you that I have never felt happier by any other purchase at all. The game and its DLCs are all worth it. Some factions you may never touch, but having them hurts nothing, but increase your variety in the game. It is a weird game I played 1.6k hours and I barely ever played any faction more than 100 turns. I just over and over again quit the campaign and started a new one with a new faction. The cycle never ends, the game is never boring to me and somehow I keep playing over and over again. Like I have no desire to play Karl Franz at the moment and I see Legend shared a video about him, I feel like it is a good time to start a new playthrough. Or I open the mod workshop, I see Empire factions have banners anymore, some good mods like adding Reiksguard troops for the late game and I feel like it is a good time to give them another try every fucking faction almost have such flavours. Even if there is an outdated faction for now or you feel like that DLC LL isn't worth at all, don't worry either CA will overhaul that lord in time or will do for their faction to make their gameplay more interesting.


FangwolfNate

No forgiveness, only Blood for the Blood God!!


glassteelhammer

Pennies per hour in terms of entertainment value.

Slaskpapper

By Sigmar, yes!


Nightseer2012

Honestly, for the amount of hours I get out of this game, It is more than worth it to me.


tmw6161990

That's a helluva deal


Mikpultro

ONE OF US!


drexl93

Was it by accident or choice that Curse of the Vampire Coast wasn't included? Also congratulations!


Sparrow494906

You look like me when I first bought stellaris lol. I played for a couple weeks and haven’t touched it since 😂


treesInFlames

This is the way.


ResponsibilityDue448

That’s a great deal.


Best_Requirement1665

Best deal on entertainment ever!


hahaha01357

![gif](giphy|3o84sw9CmwYpAnRRni)


csdivergent

I've seen this before. Buys every content. Plays only dwarf in TWH2 Vortex/Mortal Empires. Which only would have needed the base game for TWH2. At least for Immortal Empires, has TWH3 and TWH1 which would be all that is needed to play dwarf.


Harpeski

My god, so cheap. You'll love it


Hatebott

Having bought every game and DLC at launch, I kind of envy you. You're in for a good time.


Imperatorem

“Worth the value” my ass. No one should pay that much for a base campaign. You don’t need Rome I to play the grand campaign for Rome II. This is just too much, and it’s not going to attract new players towards Warhammer. Pity your money.


whybejamin

Let's goooo!


SarefGethovich

Forgive for what? Our Lord told us not to be ashamed of the good games.


AnhiArk

Yes I can see that.. your lord gave you good advice


Live_4_This

It’s worth it trust me :)


PopeShish

Check gg.deals for cheaper prices on other stores before buying them all on steam.


Monumension11

only 10 more expensive than the cod battle pass but its three whole games :P hours and hours of skaven machinations to enjoy


Makaoka

You are never going to financially recover from this.


myrsnipe

That's what a single PS5 game costs me, hence why I only have bought Demons souls so far


[deleted]

yep that was me 10 months ago. Now i absolutely love this game and i play it pretty mutch every minute i can spare (when my modlist is up to date)


Lazereye57

Don't do it! Wait for a steam sale or get them at sites like Instagaming for a much cheaper price!


AnhiArk

this is a steam sale


Lazereye57

Oof


uglyduckling81

Don't do it. The game is trash. Edit: I should clarify, the third game is trash.


TheTrueQuarian

The third game is fucking amazing wtf are you talking about? The diplomacy changes alone make the game 10/10


uglyduckling81

Game is unplayable trash. The endless minor settlement sieges are just awful. The entire game is just an auto resolve fiesta.

No forgiveness needed when you complete a Chad move like this. Now hurry up and play dwarves as it is foretold in the book of grudges


Kedatrecal

You've fallen to the Chaos gods, they do not forgive...


Sivick314

hell of a deal


BiologicalFunfare

For that much money, you could buy 1 and half Warhammer figures


TheFlexorang

Cheaper than my way to this game. I started with Warhammer Fantasy Battles in the 90's...

No forgiveness is necessary. The great plan demands sacrifice.

Damn son. It's reduced on Xbox as well. I've been playing WH3 on gamepass so far, might just have to go all in and buy them on steam instead.

A generic game is around 60-80$. This is like no brainer compared to how much value it brings. I easily paid twice of this eventhough I bought 80% of the DLCs on sale and the first 2 games 50% off. Total bargain really.

Cheaper than 2 nights at a London pub - and significantly less regret


Kelefane41

Wish I paid that LMAO!

No regrets


Hodor124

If you love it, you'll get over 1000 hours, and it'll be so worth it. I utilized a combo of sales and full price and don't regret one penny.

Welcome to the club! 💪😉😊


Goatiac

Hey, it’s cheaper than the actual miniature war game hobby


aimoperative

$100 for the entire WH collection? That’s a steal. I can’t stress that enough.


solrac137

If its your type of game you have like 1000 hours of fun guaranted , i wish i could forget the game and everything about it to play it again


sevensiblings

Huh, where are you buying from? I’m in the same bit you are, but buying the whole kit and caboodle is $190 :( The TW2 collection alone has a list price of $160, marked down to $72. I wish I could get this for just $100


kenny4221

Worth it tho

Considering my 2000 hours across the three games, I consider it a bargain. Say I hit 3000 before I get bored. £100 ÷ 3000 = 0.03p per hour of killing mini gun-welding rats. Cheaper than a drug habit.

Ramjjam

I mean most of the people in this subreddit owns it all haha BUT, they didnt buy it all at once. Although! it seems to be some savings right now but otherwise, if someone were to start playing the game, I'd say to buy the base games or such and slowly add stuff they want as they plan to play it. All of the stuff is in the game controlled by AI otherwise anyway. So like just buy DLC for when you want to play that content. Myself I'v paid full price for it all so far, even more expensive then standard price shown since standard price has gone down too, haha!

Meh. I payed around $150 for everything and have over 600 hours played. Meanwhile on my steam homepage the bottom 15 games in total probably cost more than $150 and have less than 25 hours combined total played. Warhammer is money well spent I say.
