Some bad news I'm afraid, you might want to bring forward your miniature and army book purchases before some of the below prices increase in the UK on June 1st 2010.
I believe GW have been doing fairly well this year - according to the financial press. They recently announced that earnings will exceed their previous estimates (or analysts estimates, I can't recall which). So the price rises come as a bit of a surprise to me although, thankfully, they do not impact all of the Warhammer Fantasy product range.I'm hoping that the new Fantasy Battle boxed set to support the 8th edition rulebook will be "competitively" priced so the miniature prices do not present a barrier to entry for new players.
Price rise news always tends to get the readers blood boiling so, in GW's defense, I would like to point out that the product quality remains exceptionally high and the Fantasy Battle, 40k and LOTR hobbies are much better supported by GW than many other game systems.
Below are the price changes impacting Fantasy Battle only (see source: .darksphere.co.uk/index.php) for other changes to LOTR and 40k.
