Another year, another price hike for Warhammer miniature

In what has become an annual, gaming workshop has announced an overall price increase in its miniature for the popular Warhammer tabletop game. Games such as Warhammer40,000, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and the recently launched Warhammer: The Old World are tabletop miniature titans, but the most expensive miniature skirmish game you can play

That complaint is not without merit, but the high price is also not without reason — Games Workshop miniatures are certainly the most detailed game workshops you can buy, however, increasingly sell licenses to print as many of their designs as you like, high-resolution, inexpensive 3D prints

on the warhammer Community web site, with a practical title post titled "2024Pricing Update", the game is a great way to get the most out of your game. Workshop will see the price of many products rise between 3% and 5%, and depending on what they are, the price of some products will not rise, such as paint pots, paint sets, White Dwarf magazine and Black Library fiction in the game workshop. It was not always the case in the past.

Price increases in 2022 were the point of great distress, with the cost of miniatures rising by about 5% across the board, books, landscapes and resin mini by 10%, and metal mini by a whopping 20% The rise in 2023 was an average of 6% for plastic miniatures and another rise for resin miniatures.

U.S.-based tabletop industry publication Icv2 notes that it has been 3 consecutive years for Games Workshop to publicly announce price increases. Prior to these more public posts launched in 2022, Games Workshop's price increase was largely buried in corporate reports, and was generally topped by around 3%. Games Workshop also has many of the worst effects of being a UK—based manufacturer during and after Brexit, at least publicly, although it has caused concern about continued shipping.

Game Workshop is the only game in town for official Warhammer miniatures and the world of those games is more popular. It's a lot but above average a year, the rise in compounding prices makes other miniature games look pretty good, and may also drive tabletop gamers toward hordes of counts
