Games Workshop just announced price increases on over 200 of its core items today in notices sent to retailers around the globe.
If you missed it, Warhammer Community announced that their Citadel paint pots and all Start Collecting Sets would be going up in price back in February of 2019.
Jan 4th, 2019:
Hiya folks,
In the spirit of openness, we’ve got a quick bit of news for you today: as of the 4th of February this year, the price of paints and some of the Start Collecting! sets will change.
Paint pots will have a small increase of 20 pence per pot (or local currency equivalent). The paint sets, though, will have no change, making them an even better way to round out your painting arsenal.
Kudos to GW for being upfront this time about thier pricing with everybody. Let’s take a look at everything that is changing starting with the paint range.
Today retailers were informed of price changes to over 200 core items across the ranges GW requires stores to carry as part of their various stockist programs.
We’re just going to hit the highlights, but you can view the full list of increases that was spotted on Imgur.

Lots of items just got an increase. As you can see, it varies from not just product lines, but also the amount of increase as well. Looks like hobbyists have just over a month until July 8th, 2019 to take advantage of the lower pricing on these items, before the increase hits.
