If I got into Warhammer Fantasy Battle again I would buy other brands minis and go all out

Back when my buddy was getting into this game, I rather preferred with the few mini's i bought, other brands like Heartbreaker and Harlequin and such, and figured it would be pretty awesome to build Warhammer Armies without paying an arm and a leg for Citadel, and for what?
Plenty of these miniatures especially now fit right in and are pretty much indistinquisable and Heartbreaker even had Ex-Citadel guys.
I wouldn't play in GW tournaments or at their stores, but I bet I would have a lot of fun tracking down all the minis by other companies I could get my hands on and build serious fieldable gameworthy armies.
Use as few Citadel figures as you can, and for a lot of races that could be few to none. There's alternates of all sorts of stuff, and honestly always thought Heartbreaker put out a better product during their run

+1, rediculously priced. but good as hell. i have a chaos army, (painted with slanesh colours) fieldable, 2500 points i think was the standard. I have the hard case with soft foam on the inside to hold them too. if anyone wants to buy it i will sell it cheap, havent played that game in years!

It certainly isn't cheap even with less expensive miniatures, but fuck buying GW stuff, especially orcs and dwarves and stuff that are so easy to replace with other companies stuff.
it's a game, not a dedication to buy Citadel Miniatures
to the other guy, play that shit! Sounds like you just need to remember why you bought it

On a side note, this company owns the old Harlequin blisters and is essentially Harlequin under a new name, but they have a ton of Warhammer Fantasy compatible models, and certainly at a cheaper price you can buy everything they have and their Dwarf and Orc and Goblin lines are all huge.
Even got some of the weird stuff, bolt throwers and guns to replace Citadel's in the rulebooks.

If I go and do it, I can imagine I can get a fine looking army on the table for much cheaper
