I agree re the prices! Big armies of warmaster are expensive now if you buy them from GW. I bought over half of my collection back in the day when blisters were around £5-6 each though. A few times now, I've come across large bundles of warmaster at gaming shows for very low prices. The most "famous" incident in our group is when, at a show, I saw a bin bag full of empire, khemri and high elf blisters (around 120 blisters). I casually asked how much for the lot and he said £100!!!!!! I topped up those three armies to 4K each with minimal purchases from GW. Its getting harder now, as there is less and less second hand warmaster around now. E bay still sometimes comes up trumps though, especially with people who can't be bothered to list large collections individually.
An 'average' size game for us is 4K a side. A large game is 6K a side and the largest games we play are 8K a side. We're intending to stretch to 10K though as the ultimate size game. My two largest armies are Chaos and O+G. I've got 10K of orcs and goblins painted and about 7K of chaos painted. The larger games need a weekend to play though and 3 players a side. We play on a 6 foot by 9 foot table and can leave stuff set out. No problem with the rules - if anything, the larger the game the better it seems to play with luck evening out...
