The reason they feel so expensive is because the games that Games Workshop supports require a large quantity of models, while companies like privateer games support games with a low count of models.

Is 40k Fun?

In my opinion, warhammer 40k is one of the best tactical board games I have ever played. It is so easy to create stories and scenarios for your armies, and the gameplay itself is very fun(most of the time). I know a few people who just like the models and build armies as a collection rather than for a game.
