Just an idle musing – what do people think is the most expensive wargame figure. I'm sort of assuming it is something from GW, but maybe it is a limited print resin of some huge figure… Like : Archmage Teclis and Celennar, Spirit of Hysh
Which is £110.00 GBP Not interested in painted figures, or auctions of OOP items, I'm specifically thinking of something that has a jaw-dropping catalogue price! Any ideas? |

Forge World Warlord titan $1,800 USD and that does not include weapons.

Which, to be fair, is cheap compared to Khan-wrath war demon from mierce miniatures….
Only £174.99 GBP |

@D6 Junkie very quick in with what is surely the winner! Disturbingly it is temporarily out of stock, which suggests they've sold quite a few of these… ….to which I can only say "wow" (and it is – what? – another $600 USD+ for the weapons! double wow – "wow wow") |

Which is not to imply a criticism in any way – people spend thousands on watches and golf bats and the like, so why not wargame stuff if that's what they want? |

Really wasn't heading off down the "value for money" highway, that's well trod already. It was just a fleeting thought about just how much a wargame figure might be. Upwards of $2,500 USD is the answer I guess. |

A better question: What is the most YOU have paid for an unpainted, not out of print, miniature? |
| 20thmaine | 11 Sep 2023 7:48 a.m. PST |
Well, it's a different question…. |

I don't really consider the Forge World piece to be a gaming miniature. Are people playing games with 2 foot tall mech models that cost two grand apiece? |

Are people playing games with 2 foot tall mech models that cost two grand apiece? The answer would appear to be "yes" link

"What is the most expensive Wargame figure?" Whatever it is, I'm not buying it!!! |

And I thought my John Jenkins figures were expensive. |

Fantasy figures can run really high as we have seen. I would be interested in knowing what the most expensive historical figure would be. |

I'd be interested in who company makes the most expensive average, regular man-sized figure- on average. |

That picture of the titans is pretty amazing when you think of it – ok they aren't all the biggest titans but that game must have used $50,000 USD+ worth of figures. Impressive. |

My most expensive on was a Star Wars Miniatures model of Ahsoka Tano! |
ponders nirvana.
