/tg/, I'm considering getting into 40k models. I don't care that much for playing the game, and for that matter, no one around here really plays it. But I'm thinking about getting a small number of Tau or IG models, painting them up, and keeping them for display pieces. How much is this probably gonna cost me? Any recommendations for good stuff?

But y tho?

I like the aesthetic of both factions named (most of the factions, really, but Tau and IG in particular), I'm trying to get into miniature painting, and I don't want to touch the packs of Flames of War miniatures that have been sitting in my closetbecause the only other local player around here is a piece of shit and I don't want to put a Nazi army on display

Just go to GW's homepage and look at the prices?

Don't buy GW though, it's stupidly overpriced. Get something from those Fierce Miniatures dudes, they make some pretty cool stuff. Alternatively just buy historical or anime.

A lot of fa/tg/uys don't buy directly from GW, like >>43935785 mentioned. I was hoping that maybe, I dunno, I'd get some actual suggestions on who people buy from to avoid dropping $60 on basic shit, before paint or any other factor?
>>43935785
Thanks, I'll look into them.

You want cheap Tau/IG? Ebay. For the new stuff you're looking at near-GW prices no matter who you buy from, so GW's homepage will give you a good idea.

That looks pretty cool. Making the weapons a different color seems to really bring the whole thing together.

Album of the whole army. It's breddy nice. And the color changes are pretty much canon too.

Typo anon, I mean Mierce miniatures. They're pretty expensive as well, but their models are GORGOEUS.

Check out some single figures on ebay. You can always start small and make a kill-team or something. I'm sure both IG and Tau have some unique models you can scratch your itch with. I have a small IG force and some of my favorite models are metal Catachans, rogue trader era Ogryn, and Ive got a couple metal standard IG models that I use as captains or whatever. The metal models arent cheap, the Ogryns I bought were around $10 a figure

Typical GW hater faggot

I actually am well invested into 40k. I don't advise GW models for an actual hobbyist model artist because they just aren't up to the same standards as companies like Mierce unless you're buying Forge World HQ.
