Just got my first 3d printer, walked into an FLGS yesterday and only bought paints. Doing the calculations in my head for models vs resin (and I'm using an expensive resin) it's just crazy.
But to be fair it's not the price that annoys me the most, it's the cleaning of flash/mold lines and gaps. Crazy time consuming
Wait till you see the weebs put their house and kidneys on the line for a 4090 and a 13900K so that they can play "Spaysh Maareen Twoo" on 40K resolution with all settings cranked to ULTRA and cry about FPS hovering at 119 instead of 120.
People are paying these prices and they're not even assembled and painted the way you want it!? Pffffff!!! Nah bro! Seriously they might as well be assembled and painted for these prices.
20-years ago in Australia, when the hobby was quite obscure here, a set of 10x Tactical Marines cost $30 (AUD). Now that the hobby is much more popular they are $103 on the GW webstore . GW is holding their supply and demand graph upside down.
Like you i started when 3rd edition came out…. why is it so expensive when GW use to say that the resin was going to be cheaper than the metal models. Oh you could get 20 Termagaunts for £16 during the early 2000's
The old plastic Termagaunts and Hormagaunts used to cost around 25 bucks a few years ago for 12 models. Now it's crept up to 40 bucks for 10 models and a ripper swarm.
The regular codexes used to be around 30 bucks and are now 46 (~50% increase), with the collectors codexes going from 60 to 80 (33% increase).
The only sensible new release I found were the plastic variants of older finec… models, but even then 40 bucks is too much for a biovore/lictor. Lictor used to cost 21 bucks btw in 2018.
I dunno, I guess GW goes for the "an apple a day can keep you healthy", but has chosen for macbooks instead of ones from the grocery like us normal people.
Gamza, please dont focus on GW only models, show us some more cool models, like free models and so on. GW is anyway garbage beside lore and videogames.
I've thrown in the towel and given up wargaming. I just can't be bothered anymore. I watch these vids coz I'm still subbed and just shake my head in disbelief (and then move on ….)
I do not play Tyrannids Orks and Rouge Tau homebrew army are the only xeno army's that I've bought and built. But I love Salamanders, Carcharodons, and Raptors are my main Space Marine army's and I love my Tanks!
I've always understood that 40k was for the wealthy nerds out there. It's always been about flexing what you could afford. Than it was about the fun of the game.
I'm not gonna lie. I'm glad that it's coming to an end.
I watched one of those hobby podcasts where they were interviewing a former GW employee don't remember the dudes name besides claiming GW is responsible for the the war games the exist now 🙄. He kept saying they don't do anything unless it can make them 100k pounds, so can only think they produce less kits and jack the prices up so they can meet that mark per kit
115 for the born emissary and that isn’t even that big either, compare that to a knight… And sure, a 4K printer and cleaning and UV station and resin costs a bit, also a lot of time, then you need gloves and a mask, sure, but it’ll make good on itself pretty fast with not even that big an army i am guessing, an you can indeed find loads of bits and complete different proxy models, some of which are absolutely awesome.
Dude… I can't understand why people dislike Gamza, the shit talking alone kills me 😂. I wonder if he still plays table top gsmes or if he's too tied up with family and whatever he does for a living.
I don't understand why anyone would buy miniatures at all anymore for gameplay, not just from GW, but from anywhere. I can understand collectables. Instead of jacking up prices they need to find new ways to make Money. Like, write more books, make a non-woke Movie/Series/Games. If the Company dies without Mini Sales then they're doing something very wrong.
Its a loseing tactic to keep increasing prices -People will buy less or stop playing -Games Stores will struggel or close down. -Then even more People leave becaus no place to play. -GW then reacts with layoffs and more price hikes to correct the Bottom line. Cycle repeats.
I am amaized how even the gaunts are so expensiv. They are a throw away unit in game.

Yo la verdad lo medité si meterme a la impresión 3D pero a la larga me salia mejor por calidad y precio comprarle al Chino que mandar a imprimir en 3D, en muchos casos la escala en impresiones 3D puede dejar mucho que desear.

YO! thank you for watching the video!

12 terma from the old kit 😀
Oh Boy time for all the simps to break out the "White Primer".

Never seen a 3D printed model, which i couldnt tell its 3D printed from across the table.
your resin 3d printers run 150 to 300 usd for the whole setup before resin
GW is owned by blackrock and vanguard, pure soulless corpo slop
People are paying these prices and they're not even assembled and painted the way you want it!? Pffffff!!! Nah bro! Seriously they might as well be assembled and painted for these prices.
a codex in germany costs 45€ (48,49$), the english version 38€ (40,95$)
it has something to do with the "Buchpreisbindung" here in germany
For many years i have refused to buy codex, the pricks change them every year and fundamentally made warhammer a subscription service!!
20-years ago in Australia, when the hobby was quite obscure here, a set of 10x Tactical Marines cost $30 (AUD). Now that the hobby is much more popular they are $103 on the GW webstore . GW is holding their supply and demand graph upside down.
Whaaat you say Gamza! I can't hear you over the sound of my 3d printer going Vaarooomm.

This is become a rich man's game. I haven't played since 2003 because of the prices.
I LOVE Bidenomics!
Never spending any money with games workshop again this is silly – no, just no.
"dozens of more models" wow 60 dollars for a glorified stat sheet is insane,even by GW standards
the combat patrol/start collecting box is meant to be the gateway box to collecting the army. At that new price, its ridiculous
The reuse of the same cover art is also so cheep by GW, and they want to charge MORE!
Nah why the hell is a 120 page book 100 dollars
Your robot army stuff looks great, Man.
Welcome back Gamza, glad to have you here.
There making them look like biology retribution of scyrah miniatures from warmachine and hordes
I've always understood that 40k was for the wealthy nerds out there. It's always been about flexing what you could afford. Than it was about the fun of the game.
I'm not gonna lie. I'm glad that it's coming to an end.
The books are pretty useless cause you'll buy it then give it a couple weeks and they'll change the stats and rules with data slates and nurfs
im fucking mad that when i buy Gloomspite gitz Codex payed 50$ and year later i need again buy new one….
very good that you are back from the games workshop hostage and making videos again 👌
Sadly no, GW keeps on winning. It still sold out immediately.

Man am I glad me and my friends switched over to Bolt Action for our tabletop games
Expleain how play gaemz mmaster butterr squash
emissary? what, tyranids will have diplomacy now? 🙂

20:10 that's what she said!
The codex is $92 dollars here
Finding good stl files that have a close approximate look has been hard for me to find. Got any good sites other than your patreon?

As long as GW is still functional as a company it’s not a complete victory
The prices drove me away from 40k to 30k. 30k while expensive in plastic has far more bargaining power.
Even comparing inflation 12 bucks would now cost 22 freedom money nowadays
Its a loseing tactic to keep increasing prices
-People will buy less or stop playing
-Games Stores will struggel or close down.
-Then even more People leave becaus no place to play.
-GW then reacts with layoffs and more price hikes to correct the Bottom line.
Cycle repeats.
I am amaized how even the gaunts are so expensiv. They are a throw away unit in game.
