Just because

lol, nice picture.

What does a tactical-squad cost nowadays?

$44.75 for a 10 man box.

5 man assault boxes 'were' $35.75, but end of the month they goto $39.50

so the 5 man will be 5$ les than the 10 man?

for an assault squad, yea. meanwhile a 5 man tactical combat squad is only $30.

I guess they only want people to be buying 10 at a time

they should still knock the price of the assault squad down to $30; that way a 10 man unit is only a retarded $60 instead of a stupidly retarded $80. dont care what excuse anyone comes up with; jump packs do not reason enough cause to raise the box $10 higher than a combat box for the same number of figures. Ideally assault squads should be around $25 a box, and tactical squads $40; that way your paying $40 for gunners, $50 for assaulters for a 10 man unit. but given tacticals are $45 now, then i'd say scale the assault boxes to $27.50.

Yeah, 40k is expensive.

I'd suggest that if yo want to buy a few things at some point in the near future, that at least you do it on a tournament day. Firstly you might win some money. Secondly all the 40k stuff goes on sale on tournament days.
