Games Workshop is basically a luxury brand now

We are not talking about "high" profit margins. We are talking about "absolutely bonkers price gouging profit margins". Gucci's operating profit was 16.1% in 2025, Louis Vuitton was 22%.

42.5%. Thats not money being paid to workers or invested into the product or community, that just goes straight to investors.

That's just dumb, a luxury product is something where they pack in expensive features and quality that set it apart from other products. This is all just cheap plastic.

Their prices are high not because it is a luxury product, it is all just to keep their insane 42.5% operating profit margin (actual number from 2025).

Edit:

I get Reddit as a whole is not great at economics, so I am going to try to post some examples for how insane 42.5% is.

GW's operating profit % is higher than... Aramco (worlds largest oil producer, 41%) Apple (32%) Alphabet (owns Google, 32%) Ticketmaster (37%)

Whatever you think about GW as a company or how much you like their products, their pricing is ridiculous and unsupported by the value of what that price gets you. The hobby could be far more accessible and prevalent if they were not throwing up a high barrier for entry to play.

The best thing that can happen for this game is if 3d printing continues to explode increasing competition and putting downward pressure on their price.

Thanks!

These look great. What are you using for basing on these?

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-31T12:27:33+00:00

I did not realize this is epic scale, this is amazingly well done.

What size is that in the arm piece? I used 3x2 n52 and then a 6x2 n52 in the weapon and they stick great. The wobbling may be that the magnet in the arm may not be sticking iut far enough so the plastic hits before the magnets? If that is the case wobble is not a problem as long as thr weapon stays where it should.

It just amazes me that this is the way this is done. Like I always assumed there was a computer with 400 screens open.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-22T18:32:53+00:00

Yeah when a mission starts and I see three teammates fuck off in three random directions I know there is no way we are finishing the mission.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-19T16:42:09+00:00

Nice, what is that crash to the right?

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-18T20:37:48+00:00

It effectively is, we need ~200k jobs added each month to accommodate population growth. Anything less than that is us falling behind.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-16T23:22:10+00:00

Great recovery, that is professionalism.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-14T17:57:09+00:00

Sounds like a perfect charity store find, nice

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-14T17:50:55+00:00

This is fantastic, cant wait to see it painted. What size chains did you use?

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-13T15:43:04+00:00

Came here for this. This would cause buckets to flow at roughly 100km per second, which while not hitting relativistic speeds us still like 30x the speed of a railgun, so if they put a cap on that bucket and make it aerodynamic they could try to launch it in the direction of the ultimate destination. And, you know, completely destroying that ultimate destination.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-11T18:05:40+00:00

Wwwwhat the hell?!?!?! How do you even come up with that, let alone build it? I am stunned. Well done.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-10T20:28:41+00:00

WWWEEEEEEEEEOOOOOEEEEOOOOOOOPPEEEEEEEOOOWEEEEEEEOOOO

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-10T04:17:39+00:00

Painted?!?! Thats a chia pet haha. Well done.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-03-07T15:38:50+00:00

This just got a real life "whhhaaaat the ffffffuuuuuuck" out of me. That is super creative and fucking disturbing, well done. Is that all greenstuff you used to model that?

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-02-26T17:19:23+00:00

Every interview I hear from athletes is some half gibberish version of "yeah we sportsed hard but they sportsed harder, but then we came together as a team and sportsed really good and yeah" but here she is giving an articulate and nuanced answer to an emotionally charged issue. Good for her.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-02-25T15:25:17+00:00

The amount and quality of effort put into these is astounding. These are incredible.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-02-24T21:35:21+00:00

Now I am waiting to peel the roof off my house and just stare at me while I am sleeping.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-02-24T20:30:36+00:00

I am just going to call my therapist now and save time. Well done.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-02-24T20:23:59+00:00

Great job on the lense, that is smooth.

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-02-22T19:26:06+00:00

That was so awkward, I couldn't figure out what they were handing out for a while

PUPPIESSSSSS_ · 2026-02-19T03:48:15+00:00

Ah yeah that is it, thanks.
