Well, this thread certainly took a turn...  ;D

I'd love some of the vesper figs, but cripes are they pricey (and those are by my fairly generous standards!). Not really a big enough discount to entice me into a big buy right now, so the Rashaar will have to stay on the back burner for the time being.
Ditto - I love the look of these models, but £8 for a single human-sized model is too expensive for me.
I like my games like my orange juice: pulpy with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners

It was always a very expensive game, even by boutique game standards it is pricey. As well as the figures, getting good scenery (critical to doing justice to the game and setting) and game boards adds a fair chunk to the price. You can proxy a lot of the figures if you are prepared to hunt through the various ranges which helps a bit.

I loved the game and spent a small fortune on it but hardly ever got to play before interest in it died here. It is probably the highest "cost per game" of any wargame I have bought into. Real shame that the Vesper-On guys abandoned it when the sale to WylandGames fell through and the first KS failed as it lost the momentum it was building up.

Nothing there yet makes it enough of a deal that I want to spend more money on it.
