Ok, Games Workshop have decided to basically give Australia and New Zealand the finger, raising all their already outrageous prices. For instance, a Space Marene Battleforce used to be $150 AUD, whereas the equivalent cost overseas is 75. They apparently decided they weren't milking us for enough, and raised the price by $30. That's right, they made it 20% costlier.
SO! Because of this, I've decided to buy from overseas. This will mean that overall, I'll be saving on money, so I will be able to purchase more often, but because of the shipping, there'll be a 3-4 weeks delay between me ordering things, and actually receiving them.
My first purchase, which I made today, was a Space Marene Battleforce, containing one tactical squad of Marenes (10 models, led by Doctor Whoof), one combat squad (5 models, which with extra bitz I'll convert to the devastator squad led by Star Sparkle), one scout squad (5 models, led by Cheerilee), one assault squad (5 models, led by Rainbow Dash, need 5 more for the full squad), and a Rhino. So now I just need a Dreadnought for Big Macintosh, a Chapter Master for Princess Celestia, a Land Speeder Storm for Scootaloo's scooter, another assault squad, a Librarian for Twilight Sparkle, and devastator weapons for Star Sparkle's squad.
This is, overall, good news! Does anyone know where I can get some good modelling paints NOT by GW?
