NOTE: this is an unbiased oppinion thread. no moaning about clanrat editions - i happen to tolerate the monkey rats fairly well, considering i paint them up and i like my paint jobs. well guys, its 17 days till my birthday, and i have a desicion to make. should i spend the money i have saved up on a lot of monkey rats someone is offering me (all on sprue, 100 clannies for 100 bucks) or should i save it, put it in the bank, and save for my college fund? (note i'm a junior in high school) |

How long does it take you to save up 100bucks? How good of a deal is it compared to what you'd pay in store in your area? Would you spent that 100 bucks on something else i.e going out drinking, buying other stuff? This is what i look at when buying stuff. |

well, i can't drink (under age) and i don't really go out much. takes me about a month and a half to save up $$120 bucks becuase i havent got a job yet (you wouldn't belive how bad the ressecion has gotten in florida. teens can't find jobs, but i digress) i have four armies bretonnians = 1600 pts atm skaven = bout 1500 if you include the bell i have tomb kings = about 14-1500 pts 40k = not nessecary to think about so really, its either supercharge my skaven, or bump each army a little bit more. considering i want to get into tournies, i really gotta supercharge 1 of the armies. <_< |

Tough decision... the big question is a cliched one, but you have to decide if you can afford it. Your goal to save for college is really very commendable, but at the same time while you're hoarding up you do want to enjoy life while you're at it. ![]() What you could do is map it out so you have a better idea of how much is needed where and how much you have to spend on yourself. Start off with the fund; how much would you like to save up for college and how long do you have to reach that target. What sources of money do you have or can expect to have, how much and how often, is it reliable enough to creating a long term estimate from it. From there you estimate how much money you may have, say a projected total earning for the next 2-3 years (or how many more years till college), and if you're fairly comfortable and confident that you can reach your target college fund, then whatever is left over from your projected total earnings is yours to spend. |

Seems to me your decision is made already. If you're going to spend the money anyways, that's a pretty good deal on the rats. One thing though...I do think that considering the models are being improved hugely (in the general opinion)....you should be able to get half price on those clanrats. |

If you don't waste money on other things i'd buy it. I was in a similar situation but was saving for my house and buying guitars , i justified it by not spending money on other things after i bought a guitar. You have to enjoy yourself every once and a while. |

I say, save up for college. I am only 14, and I would put my money in skaven, but education is important. Your choice. |

Meh, $100 ain't gonna get you very far on a college campus. One book, maybe two if you're fortunate to get them used instead of new. When tuition is in the thousands of dollars $100 isn't that much. However, it'll be $100 (plus a year's worth of interest, I guess) that you won't have to save later. Like most have said already...Your choice. MZ |

Shennanigans are out of the question!

I'll toss in on the clanrats being a good deal. Thats 2 good units of clanrats, and 2 units of slaves (they way I would deploy them), which would get you to around 2k. Of course, we are pretty biased here as far as armies are concerned.

Monky clanrats have been going really cheap on ebay. If you dont mind assembled models take a look. I saw a unit of 25 go for little over 10$ the other day. |

actually i was planning the following for the lot: 50 clannies spread into two units of 25 2 units of 20 slaves 10 stormvermin ( i converted some before from clannies and GG shoulder pads, i can do the same here.) yes i will be playing fantasy in college. i have 4 armies, so i'm taking one, most likely skaven, and i'm brinigng it, and i will be putting the others in storage (not enough room most likely...) although thats my devilish plan. while we are on the subject is: 4 units of 25 clannies 3 units of 20 slaves 1 unit of 20 plague monks with a priest 1 giant giant rat unit (i have like 7 packs) 1 - 2 units of SV and a bell a good amount of units for skaven at 2k? i've only played at 1k, so i can't figure things out..... also, total savings on the clannies, if compared to buying directly from GW, with tax, is about 85 bucks. that, and it would basically be 1 dollar per rat. i'll make a poll |

Added a poll here and closed the other one because this keeps everything much cleaner. Oh, and I voted Clanrats - who need an education after you've got an army of Clanrats to take over the world with? (seriously though, you should probably save for college) |
