It’s that time of the year again. Games Workshop has officially confirmed an upcoming price adjustment across its product lines, set to take effect on September 17th.
Depending on the specific category, prices will be increasing by 5% to 10%. Whether you've been eyeing a new army set, planning a terrain expansion, or simply needing to restock your paints, your hobby budget is about to take a hit.
Here is a breakdown of what you need to know about the upcoming price rise and how to protect your wallet before the deadline.
What Is Changing?
While exact line-item updates vary by product type and region, the price adjustment will impact the majority of standard ranges:
-
Plastic Miniature Kits: Most single characters, squad boxes, and vehicle sets across Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and Warhammer: The Old World will see a 5–10% bump.
-
Books & Rules: Expect price updates across codexes, battletomes, and rulebooks.
-
Hobby Essentials & Accessories: Select Citadel paints, brushes, spray primers, and hobby tools are included in the shift.
How to Beat the Price Increase
The good news is that you have a window of opportunity. Current pricing remains locked in across all in-stock items until the official cutoff on September 17th.
If you have a backlog of planned purchases, now is the ideal time to clear out your cart:
-
Prioritize Big Ticket Items: Higher-priced items like Army Boxes, Combat Patrols, Spearheads, and centerpieces (like Knights or Greater Daemons) will see the highest absolute dollar increase. If you know you’re building that faction soon, buy those kits first.
-
Stock Up on Staples: Basics like Citadel Primers, popular Contrast Paints, and plastic glue are guaranteed usage over time—buying them now saves money in the long run.
-
Get Pre-Orders and Backorders In Early: Items ordered prior to September 17th will be honored at current prices.
