Blessed be the Emperor, Brothers!

As GW miniatures are quite expensive, and Forje World ones are absurdly expensive, have someone ever tried compatible 28mm miniatures from other industries? What did you think about them? Do they have the same quality as GW ones for a cheaper price or are them even more expensive?

If you could control GW for some time, what army you would reinforce? Why? With what kind of miniatures?

It's been almost a year since I commented.

But recently I've painted up figures by Mantic games. I can't say they were bad. And considering the amount of models they were dirt cheap. Considering what I'm using them for (a legal codex entry for my chaos marines; Plague zombies), if I were to buy this same amount of figures for a full squad at GW prices, I'd be spending over double. And that's something you can worry about.

What would be a more fair pricepoint is to put a connection between the amount of points you build out of a box and the price it costs. I'm seeing too many "elite" armies and not enough horde armies because those are twice as costly.  That by itself might also address balancing issues, since "big" kits would become a bit more expensive pointswise and would have to justify being more durable at the same time. Why is it that a rhino, droppod or even the new Ork guns cost about 1 euro/dollar per point, while at the same time a Land raider costs about a quarter of that comparatively?
