I dare you to compare just about anything from 2000 to the 2012 cost of the same product. How many LR do you need? 5, 10, or even 25 years from now you can still use the same LR in a game. Your iphone 4? Depends on what contract you bought but $500. and higher eBay right now and how long will that last you two maybe three years max? You have to love the we want it for free crowd.


This is always my point, its always been an expensive hobby, but its no more expensive that its always been. Not based on my unit of currency, the pint. In 2000 the average price for a pint was £2, now its £3.14. A fair amount of luxury products show a similar increase.
Despite this, I cant say I like price rises and I think they could potentially price out theyre supposed target market of the younger generation.


These are toys, not luxury goods. Nobody makes a rap video about how many GW models they own

"Putting it away actually. The card is maxed out on gasoline purchases and stuff from a store called Bevmo. After the first of the month it'll be cleared enough to make a few purchases. Just a week or two and we will be part of a truly competittve FateCrusher daemon list. "

"Cool, another unit of BloodCrushers? Maybe another DP? A fearsome trio?"




"I don't think so, Fred."
"Damn."
. . .
. . .


"Well, we can always celebrate the demise of any further Grey Knight or Blood Angel SRG spam."
"It also means that we're not getting any more Seekers, Fiends or BloodCrushers -- units we need to get competitive. We might be stuck as a medicore list. We'll just perform poorly."

Looking at that list Kroothawk, and just deducting a third for prices here in good ol' Blighty (not totally accurate i know but gives you an idea) i am super concerned. Some hideous raises there (carnifex im looking at you- you weren't even worth the old price!) and the few things that did represent reasonable value (razorwing and DA Vets) receive their second hike (Gw doesn't miss a trick do they). Thankfully there isnt really anything on the list i need. Maybe a few skaven bits to finish that army. (any notions of a second WHFB army have now been well and truly abandoned - shame as i was looking forwards to WOC)

Think it will be a case of paint the marines i have and my DE army (which does need a few addiditons admittedly) and i might actually end up selling the Nids as by the time they are sorted rules - wise i have no doubt they will be far too expensive to collect.

I have been saying for some time now since GW got overly aggresive with their pricing 'adjustments' that its not really the models that are the issue, I think the models represent reasonable value (finecast excepted) for the price (although i have to confess this latest hike challenges that somewhat) I find it likely that in the future GW will become a model company for me and nothing more. I will see astounding models from time to time and but them to paint purely for the model itself. As a GW gamer however, i think ill soon be done. It's a shame, it really is.

This price rise seems similar they did last year - some rather hideous price increases for some items, small increases for some others, and most of the range stays same. For whatever reason, that is what they seem to prefer doing instead of increasing prices of everything just tiny bit. Disappointing to see battleforces getting a price rise again.

Some bizarre stuff, like they increased price of the Tau codex, which they lowered last time around. Don't really see the point there as the codex is probably going to be obsolete soon...

Well, this is rather embarrassing. Ever since I started 40k about two years back, I knew for a fact this hobby would be expensive. Ever since this announcement, I really cannot see how I can keep justifying the price. GW might as well purchase shotguns for their employees and order them to shoot themselves in their respective feet, it would certainly cost less.

The only thing that went down this time around, according to the BOLS list, is the Dark Efl Supreme Sorceress (-1.67%), everything else went up between 1.94% (couple items) to 71.74% (40k Battlefield Accessories).

I guess a 2% increase could be construed as staying the same, but its an across the board rise, just with different values.

A lot of the terrain pieces are going up 32% or so, so if I want anything, I guess now is the time. Otherwise, purchases other than FW will be few and far between.

This price rise seems similar they did last year - some rather hideous price increases for some items, small increases for some others, and most of the range stays same. For whatever reason, that is what they seem to prefer doing instead of increasing prices of everything just tiny bit. Disappointing to see battleforces getting a price rise again.


It's probably the smarter way to do it. Then next year, the items that weren't increased go through the same process and the ones that saw the lower increases this year get another lower increase, which matches them with the ones that got the bigger increase this year.

That's just one of the posts that's started this mess and doesn't put anything to rest.

I would at least demand GW explain the expensive rise of several of the models.

It also doesn't bode well for the flyers they are releasing. How expensive will these new models be?

Good luck with that and 49.50, iirc.

I think the flyer thread had them at $45 or so each. I'm also going to guess they're smaller than the stormraven (which is going up to $82 in this pricing structure).

By my reckoning then, by those prices in US$, the UK prices will go something like this:

Battleforces: + £10-£15.

Most of the Infantry Boxes: +£5, including Finecast (poor poor Eldar).

Vehicles going up by £5 - £10

Land Raider will be roughly £50!!!

That is a huge price hike, even by GW standards. Glad I finished my Necron army today :-/.

I'd hate to be a new player getting into this hobby now.

The new flyers are on pre order on discount sites for around £23.00 so add on 20% and i guess you're looking at £27.50?? (seems to be a favoured GW price point)

Storm talon is still fugly and pointless though...

Warmachine is about the same model for model tbh. The attractive thing is that you can play with far less. i guess you could do a 35pt army (average sized 2 hour game) for about 80-90 quid... far more sneaky tactics wise too with your general vastly influencing how you play

The bigger concern is the amount of whiny or non whiny babies that it will stop from ever taking up the hobby in the first place. For me, as I imagine is true for many others, GW was the gateway drug.

I find it funny that for tyranids, only the pyrovore, carnifex, warriors are going up in price...Not like we used those anyway.

GW - "for some reason, people are not buying the pyrovore, carnifex or warriors...I know, lets just increase the price of them, that way, we will sell much more"

Thanks for compiling the list, Kroothawk.

Can someone save me from reading the entire 18 pages and let me know when this price rise actually takes effect? River trolls are still only $44.50 on GW's website...

I've now heard from another source that these rumors are fake and mocked up from a previous GW price increase document, and while there will be a GW price increase this year it will not be this one and will not take place at the rumored time.

Not sure who to believe, but I suppose we'll find out soon enough...

Are you freaking kidding me? The first 5 pages of this thread was like
LOL GJ TROLL SHIZZLE AINT HAPPENING

Go to last page, see giant fudging list of price increase. Mind blown.
You have got to be kidding me. There IS a limit to what people are willing to pay for GW stuff and they are seriously treading the edge now but for some reason, I can't get the dividends thing out of my mind either. Its as if they expect a HUGE drop in sales and subsequently getting bought out so they might as well cash in as much as they can now.

On the other hand, I have very interesting idea... that 6th could be GW's magnum opus. The 40k we've all been waiting for with fantasy level complexity rules and gameplay rules not catered to 12 year olds while everyone in the game dev office in london are secretly having a farewell party.

No one knows for sure, the possible dates are speculated at being May 28th, June 1st, or June 4th...
