the biggest problem is the existence of Space Marines.

My Tyranids have been on the receiving end of Mephiston from the Blood Angels. I honestly cannot tell if my friend is simply that good at using him, that good at rolling high, I was bad at using my Tyranids, or Mephiston is just that overpowered. We were playing with maybe 800-1,000 points armies.

EDIT: After reading about Draigo from the Grey Knights, where does he stand compared to Mephiston?

I mean 100 USDs will get you the core rule book and your races codex(that is if you have an idea, the two minimum things you need regardless of what you play. And neither is a single model on the table.

Depends on yer entry. My friends and into it together so we needed only one core rule book among us. Still, with the $20ish codex we had maybe $70ish left for models which is not a lot but sufficient to start somewhere. In lieu of proper cover, terrain, etc. we used books, CDs, paper, etc.

That said, 100 USDs will definitely go a longer way in other hobbies. Pretty sure I can make a decent Magic the Gathering set with that much. On average my decks were $40-60 if I was willing to buy 2-4 copies of the better cards for a particular build.
