So, does that mean that only items which are available to Indies are going up, or that other items have gone up in price but that GW wont bother telling anyone about them as only GW stock them?

GW haven't actually made an official announcement of what's going up in price, this is leaked info from an Indy store... if this leak hadn't have come, we wouldn't know anything at all!


Last time (six months ago) GW raised prices, they didn't specify what would go up in price either, and Epic was raised pretty harshly.

I'd expect the plastic sets to go up a bit at the least.

I think people are looking at the pre orders for June (WFB Empire) and making a judgement call. The empire battalion box is £60 most are £50 right now. The real shocker is the plastic greatswords at £25 for 10 and the plastic steam tank at £35.

Glad I never really got on with WFB!

Indeed, it's speculated that GW's other prices were going to rise to match the Empire prieces, but then GW delayed the announcement for several weeks, possibly in order to re-think their price rise.

Many items have still seen a hefty rise though, in some cases they're the same items that went up in price in the last increase.

£12 for a single Ork Warboss?  I hope there are lots and lots of extras included in that kit.

I would like to take this opportunity to say that many times I have harboured thoughts or expressed sentiments in a similar vein to Mr. L4's statement, referred to above, and aimed towards the same target; and in this case I have to once more wholeheartedly agree.

Thank you.

It seems a lot of £12 plastic kits are going up to £13.50, so this might be the case with epic too.

Guess it's about time for another price increase.  'Cuz, you know, it's Wednesday and all.

Price rise came in yesterday - either they aren't reflected in the prices on the online store or Epic has escaped any increases - on both metals + plastics

Indeed I think Epic was entirely unaffected in the UK.

There were some $1-$2 increases in the US on some items.
