In a recent post, Games Workshop has confirmed it has suspended sending products to Russia for the time being.
We’ll cover their quick statement on the matter, but we’ll also show some ways you can help support Ukrainian companies during these times. Getting any shipments out for them has been hard, so most are going the way of STLs and easy-to-buy digital products.
Games Workshop Suspends Sending Products to Russia
We are terribly saddened by the horrific events taking place in Ukraine. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to all those affected by Russia’s actions.
In light of this, Games Workshop is suspending all sales of Warhammer products into Russia.
We didn’t take this decision lightly. We know that there are many Russian hobbyists who don’t condone the war. Yet, we must stand with those suffering.
How to Help Ukrainian Companies
Obviously, buying miniatures isn’t the most important thing right now in either Russia or Ukraine, but a lot of people have been asking companies in both countries for updates.
This isn’t all the miniature companies out there, just what we’ve seen so far. So, if you’ve been wondering about buying miniatures from regions such as Ukraine, check out the status from the companies themselves.

Friends! The situation is this – Paypal prohibits the receipt of donats in any form. We understand the reason – now there are a lot of scammers who want to get rich on the misfortune of our people, so all areas of trade and withdrawal of funds will be reinsured.
We already have an idea for a miniature that we want to mold to immortalize the heroic deeds of our army and the courage of our people. But at the moment, our concept artists are not able to draw anything, and we still cannot sit down for 3D. But as soon as such an opportunity arises, we will immediately begin to create this model.
For now, we offer you to buy digital goods from our website. These are ready-made STL and ZTL files that can be sent for 3D printing, or opened in Zbrush version 22 or higher.
Everyone who makes this purchase will be able to receive the STL commemorative model after we can make it, absolutely free. Those who buy digital goods worth $50 or more, after our victory, will be able to receive a physical copy of this model. It may take a long time, but we will fulfill all our obligations to you and to those who placed orders before the war and we did not have time to send the parcels.
All the money raised will go to help our friends and family, as well as to help specific people who are in the Territorial Defense units in our hometowns.
If you want to grab the STL and help support WGC by buying from Ukraine, you can by clicking here!
Tortuga Bay
They have a new list of digital goods that you can purchase to help them through this time. You will be grabbing some artwork for your purchase and it will go directly to them. Obviously, with the post as it is right now, they can’t ship you anything out.
So this is a good middle ground to buy something from them to help support their situation, without worrying about the shipping.
This is just a sample of what types of art you can purchase from them. They have products all the way from 5$ up to $200. Click here to check out all the STL files and support them.
Art From Pavel Logvinov Their 3D Modeler:
If you want to support, go check out his Fiverr and get some amazing art! Here’s what the team from Tortuga had to say about grabbing the art:
Dear friends, if you have the opportunity and desire to order an illustration from the leading artist and 3d modeler of Tortuga By Studio – Pavel Logvinov, we invite you to do so. It was under his leadership and with direct participation that most of our 3D sculptures were created. At the moment, Pavel leads that part of our team that left the city of Zaporozhye. He, like me, helps our colleagues, tries to provide the guys with work and help girls with small children and settle down in a new city. People have lost their jobs and their homes and are trying to improve their lives in the new conditions.
Signum Games
Obviously, with the post closed, they can’t send things right now.
