Thanks for the list! Dead useful.

Thank you for letting us players know. May have to actually get round to seeing your store next time I'm in London and see what other fantasy wargames there's rules for out there. With the current trend I doubt GW will be getting any more of my cash...

I wonder how much the price increase will be in Aus because if it is more then 5-10%, it will be to expensive for me to play 40K and the other games like 40K I have never really got into .
as it is clearly becoming to expensive to get models from GW. does any one know were to get cheap/high detail IG and Chaos space marines (not FW) with good shipping prices to Aus

The last day that we can order product at the current prices from Games Workshop is Thursday 26th May, after that we will be buying at the new higher prices so will unfortunately have to increase our prices accordingly. If you're local to London then please keep checking our Events Calendar (http://www.darksphere.co.uk/shop.php) as we will be adding a whole pile of demos/participation games/etc for a variety of other game systems including Warmachine/Hordes, Malifaux, Flames of War, Mantic and Dystopian Wars so people can have a chance to see the most popular alternative games which are seeing massive uptake in our local games clubs.

@ Dark Sphere

Thank you for the update!

Re: Price rises

....Guess I'll stock up on my HH collection on iBooks before they go up I suppose. Also need to buy a Valk and a Hellhound before they go up as well. *sigh*

Are you sure?

I was already counting on the 19,50 Dark Eldar kits to become 22,50 like the Scourges, and kits like the Pistoliers, Chaos Knights, Ork Boyz etc to go up to about 22,50 also & the 40K tanks to all go to 39,- instead of 35,-.

Pray tell, where? Not that I'm not believing you, it's just that my FLGS didn't hear any such thing.

Supposedly Germany is getting the raise, dus wij waarschijnlijk ook

Diepe zucht, het was waarschijnlijk toch té mooi om waar te zijn.

And I had plans of restarting my Elysian armada.

Man this sucks :-(

No need for that sort of language feller!

Does this apply to FW?

Also does anyone know how this dovetails with the previous rise. I seem to remember that that was only on a section of their range if this was the other half then it would indicate a two year process rather than the across the board increase that is being assumed. (too hopeful?)

Sounds like because of the strength of the Canadian economy, we are mostly dodging the bullet. Only codexes/army books, battleforces, and hobby supplies. Almost all plastic boxes are staying the same (according to the owner of my FLGS).

*Sees that it is the same price for a box of 10 Dark Eldar as it is for a box of 10 Guardsmen.*
*Tries to understand.*
*Fails.*

At this rate, it's going to be cheaper or at least as cheap to buy FW as opposed to GW soon.

To me this is kinda nice but only because I was excepecting worse ! Battleforces have gone up 10 pound OUCH I was expectng them to go up by 5 pound. Predators and vindicators at 31 poubnd is nasty and 41 pound land raiders are annoying (I suppose ebay and wayland games for those). But on the other hand I was waiting for 25 pound space marines and several kits are the same. My overall verdict: This is nasty but I was excepecting nastier

Gw is really starting to annoy me,More price Bull it.Resin is cheaper than metal so what the muck.

Hmm, well that was is a bummer :/ was going to get some bits for my Plague marine force, guess I won't now as things seem a little out of my price range :/

Oh yeah, plague marines are in finecast at 25 pound. Just letting you know

Hmmm...now, about that bargain hunting we were discussing?

This is insane, if they keep going like this, no one will ever buy any stuff again. At my local GW many of the customers are below working age. How are they suposed to afford these ever increaseing prices???

Seriously, a trygon has gone up by £6, what justifies that!!! Also, most of the space marine range has not increased as much. This IS a piss take. I knew a price raise was coming, but I cannot possibly fathom what makes them go up by this much! Online discount stores here I come, or failing that, alternatives here I come!

Oh by the way, thanks for the list. (no sarcasm )

Looking at your prices Dark-Sphere you will probably be my home from then on. Plus you accept paypal which is always handy (wish I'd known about you before!).

25 quid for a box of Warriors?!

25 quid for a box of three models that are a ten year old plastic kit?!!

Right, that's that then: I'm off to inventory what's on my "unbuilt" shelf, work out how many more gaunts I want to get to get up to around the 3000 point mark, order then from Maelstrom asap, and then I'm done. I was going to start a DE wych cult after my 'nids, but I don't think I would get enough for my left kidney.

It will be a hot day on Fenris before I pay 25 quid for a box of Warriors.

This is one of those times where I'm annoyed this is a family forum.

Lucky for me I've stopped buying GW.

What happens when they get their next financial report and see that sales have gone down by 78%? Probably raise their prices, that'll solve it. I' really tempted to go 'No Russian' on GW HQ if they do ONE more stupid thing that damages the company again.

I cannot post on Gw's Facebook page anymore :O

I got a good laugh when I saw the new price tag for Tyranid Warriors. £25 for 3?

You would have got more of a laugh if you had seen my face.

You see I couldn't really connect with the price rises in the US dollar format, but now it's put into pounds... My god.

Luckily I can't really play much anymore and I play BFG so I'm not going to be affected at all really, it still does not justify this sort of price increase.

3 Tyranid warriors for 25 pound means they are selling them for 8.33 each !

My Orks will be the last army from GW I paint. Lucky for me I bought 1,000 GBP's worth about 2 years ago to keep me ammused for a few years. After 25 years in the hobby, its time to bin GW. I just can't pick up a box of 'x' and think its worth the stupid amount they are charging for it.

Until people vote with their wallets, GW will just keep rising their prices by inflation busting percentages.

Maybe this is all some last push by the directors and major shareholders to make as much money as possible before they kill the hobby off. Who knows????

What I do know is the GW have now lost me as a customer, and in loosing me, they loose 5 others. Now patiently waiting for my next Sodapop Order to arrive

Did you not see the list from the other thread? Canadian prices are rising in the same manner (and on the same products) as US prices. 173 lines, ranging from 1% increases (Bastion) to 25% increases (Black Orcs). The most common increases are the 20% ones on things like Catachans, Gaunts, and so on.

Canada does not escape this. No one will.

GWs price raising is as unstoppable as the CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!!

In all honsety I think gw will carry on making money. Every price rise we think it will be the end at yet they carry on. I bet half the people who say they will quit will buy a box of somthing in several months. For at least the next decade or two gw will remian the major company and if we watch carefully I think the other companies that live long enough will end up like gw. Hopefully some of these things will go down in price, they do it with books all the time. When a new novel comes out they sell it for £7.99 and a few months later they sell it for £6.99 so if we are lucky this might go down slightly in a few months. Yelling at the web team does not help because I bet they are as mad as everyone else. It is like complaining to a shelf stacker that the prices are to high in a supermarket.

With all this in mind though one of the things I like about minature is the fact I don't have to buy new ones to be able to be compatible with all the latest thing (like the i-phone, and the i-phone 2 and the i-phone 3g, and the i phone 4g) so once i have bought a box set I never have to throw it away to use it with the next codex.

@ Dark Sphere

Thanks for the heads up. Is there any chance you could run an infinity demo?
