The price hike is a symptom of companies being hog tied by their shareholders. Shareholders don’t care for the wider hobby community it would seem.
This is why I 3D print. 3D printers are not killing GW. GW are killing themselves
I started gardening last year.
I wish more time allocated to explore Murray mouse milking operation
The price hike shouldn't hit us Aussies too bad, GW needs to actually have product on the shelves to raise the price on to begin with!
The sad and somewhat ironic thing is, if they actually reduced prices they’d probably sell a lot more.
i use a 3d printer, the cheapest printer costs about 3 times as much as 1 GW kill team but after you buy it, each mini takes about 3 cents to 8 bucks depending on your resin and where you find your 3d files. meaning the printer pays for itself in like 4 or 5 prints depending on the miniature.
My printer died after several years of use, and when I was contemplating having to buy a replacement, I realized that if I only printed 8 characters, I'll already be saving money.
Resin 3d printers be looking good. 1L of expensive high quality resin or 1 box of Intersessors
Big fan of legit political discourse on the nature of inflation. I'm from the UK and 10 years (Strictly speaking, I'd argue 12, broken up by a brief period where
This is why I 3D print. An LGS should offer catalogues of miniatures they can print for customers as a means of driving profit. More enterprising stores could even offer custom models.
Yeah the models were already too expensive as it was and as an example 34 usd just for 1 Castellon crowe of the grey knights, Like I get you have to pay the sculptors And have to pay for materials But they could have sold it for like 15 USD max And they still would have made plenty of profit And also 63 usd For a strike squad And it only comes with 5 units n a few extra parts
GW's pricing is hurting themselves. They could be making as much, if not more money if they priced themselves more accessibly. There was a time when it wasn't uncommon for people to have huge armies and multiples of them. It is no surprise that players started to specialize and churn their armies more as pricing increased. What the company would lose in profit per say, they would make up for in total volume of sales. Prices scare people away but give people a price they are happy with and they will gobble up your product.
As a "nordic" the conversion rate from the pound means that BEFORE these hikes, prices have gone up around 10% and now we're getting ANOTHER 14% price increase...
This is why 3D printing is SOOOOOOO much more cost effective in the long run. There are so many talented artists out there that make awesome, sometimes better, designs.
Would be sweet if content creators pushed other miniatures games. I know they don't get much views as Warhammer but I'm kinda over how expensive Warhammer is getting.. Frostgrave is pretty cool 🤷🏼
This is why you should never trust a publically traded company. They believe their only obligation is to their shareholders, and they believe they have to always increase that profit margin over everything else.
This is probably the turning point for me to convince myself that resin is indeed worth the hassle.
GW had special minis for big boxes since Warhammer Fantasy 6th ed. There was a Wood Elves and Warriors of Chaos army boxes. The battle standard bearers for those two boxes were exclusive from those boxes.
Absolutely LOVED the deep dive into the different kind of box sets that have come out over the last decade or so, and with PICTURES! I'm personally really interested in different "sets" etc that have come out over the years and always find the research into "what actually happened" and prices etc quite hard to find.
