I started buying models from Mantic games to use for WFB late last year, because they were so much cheaper and decent sculpts some even superior to GW. Then I tried their fantasy game system called Kings Of War, and I like it way better.
Now I'm buying a new army for that game, purely Mantic models. The next step for me is to find a different paint line. When my friends want to play WFB or 40K I'll just use the armies I already have. When my books become outdated I won't replace them, since GW minis can also be used to play Kings Of War my friends who play can play that with me or I can just do some painting in my free time. I will not buy anymore overpriced gaming products just because they have the GW logo on them.
I would like to add that for about 10 years now a friend of mine had been constantly trying to get me to play other systems and buy other companies models. I used to be one of the die-hards, and had been into Warhammer Fantasy since 4th edition and 40K since 3rd. I know for a fact there are a lot of other people like me out there too.
I'm not going to bitch about this price hike and say I'm going to switch to other companies models. Because I already have switched. So this fall while everybody grumbles and complains about GW's price hikes, and gets depressed because now they're bringing home less models for the same amount of money, I'll be busy assembling painting and enjoying all the sweet free stuff that Mantic sends me for pledging in their kickstarter program :victory:
