This is actually pretty relevant to Forge World: Forge World and 30k as it exists today is not really for most people. For 99%+ of the world's population, and probably 99%+ of the wargaming population building a 2500 point army (the starting point around which the game is optimized) is totally unaffordable, really expensive books that make 40k codexes seem cheap, the inevitable "other pieces" you need in your army, large robot kits that are $1000+, resin gaming boards that cost $200 for a 2x2 and so forth. If you had asked me, I would have said, "no way, such a company could not survive."

And yet, Forge World thrives; it probably does as much in sales all by itself as a lot of small miniature wargaming companies.

They're an appendix of main GW in (40k) background and facilities. Sure, they make some good stuff, but they wouldn't be that successful (if at all) without the 40k universe (including 30k) and the 40k game - i.e. the 40k players and fanbase. So it's not useful to compare them to those 'small miniature wargaming companies' - they have a popular setting AND game for which they sell miniatures and books.
