- In this video, I share my thoughts on the level of criticism that Games Workshop gets and whether or not it is wholly deserved.
Now these are just my opinions and are in no way meant to be polarising. But, I would love to hear what you guys think about the topic so please share your thoughts in the comment section below.

I stumbled across your channel today via the Beastman video. It is refreshing to find a person with a great attitude...and logical thinking. We all have opinions with how GW operate these days, especially when we lived through how different things used to be so many years ago. I have been in the hobby since the late 90s, so has my husband. We have taken breaks here and there, but are now enjoying both AOS and 40k. We get to share the love of Warhammer with our almost 15 year old son! Yes Australian prices are very expensive, but we love the models, lore, settings, painting and fact that there are other people who play these games, so that a variety of events exist.
Thank you ☺️ I’m exactly the same, I got back into the hobby about two years ago since last playing in the late 90’s. And that’s really cool that you guys play as a family 👍🏼 I’ve seen how much it costs over there! So fair play to you for sticking with it! It’s such a great hobby as there’s literally something for everyone.
@@AcrylicSpillis You are welcome, I am glad more people are making content about Warhammer these days. It can be harder in some parts of the world to find like minded folks.
It’s amazing! Especially when I think back to the 90’s and the stigma (at least in the uk) that used to be attached to the hobby. If you don’t mind me asking, how popular is it over in Australia? As I imagine the high cost over there must be a stumbling block for a lot of people. Especially new hobbyists?
@@AcrylicSpillis Australia suffers a little from everyone being quite far away from each other, but here near Melbourne this year our biggest tournament event (ark 40k) expanded into a much bigger ARCFEST last month. It's painting comp ArcOpen got bigger, and Age of Sigmar, Heresy and a couple of other game systems had events too. There have been more clubs, often running smaller tournaments too. The club we go to sometimes is open twice a week, they were saying they have had so many people recently, that they ran out of space, even with an overflow room out the back. The cost here may be pushing some to 3D printing and using One Page Rules...our local store owner says he is seeing less of customers that used to come in & buy Warhammer & he is one of the few places that still offers discounts.
GW should not be immune to criticism, but they are far from the evil corporation that people make them out to be. For the most part, the company is actually made up of people who love this hobby as much as you or me. They are the leaders in the market, and that means they set the price at the top end of the market. As far as hobbies are concerned, it's very middle of the road. I come from motorcycle racing. It makes Warhammer look like pocket change. In ten years of Warhammer I haven't come close to spending what it costs for one season of racing. You have made a lot of good points, but I can understand why people get so passionate on the other side of the discussion. It's an amazing hobby, and my life is better because of it.
Just found your channel. The content is top notch. Subbed. Thanks for sharing!!!
Exactly! And I think it’s a shame that a lot of people forget that. Nice! I’ve got friends that used to be into racing too and I’ve heard how expensive it is 😂. And I think you raise a really good point because it’s all relative. Like I also keep reptiles and some invertebrates and the amount of money that costs in comparison to this hobby is also staggering.
I totally agree with you in that I understand the passion on the other side of the discussion which in part could be argued why this hobby is so amazing. As a majority of the fan base really care for it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and listening to my ramblings! Oh and subscribing, it really helps 👍🏼
@@AcrylicSpillis I think that a lot of people in the hobby still have a hard time separating this hobby from video games. Because of the economy of scale and having nothing tangible. Video games are a very cost effective hobby. But they are to the hobby world what McDonald's is to the restaurant industry. That's how I see it, anyway.
Reptiles are cool. You need a licence to keep them in my country. So, I haven't really had a lot to do with them. I have a parrot, and he is super expensive. Totally worth it, though.
That’s a really good point, I hadn’t even thought of it that way.
Ah that sucks you need a license as they’re amazing to keep. Ah nice! What kind? I used to have an African Grey many years ago.
@@AcrylicSpillis African Greys are so smart. They're as smart as a 3 - 5 year old human. I have a Solomon Island Eclectus. He's not particularly smart for a parrot, but he has the best personality.
Yeh he was stupidly smart. And weirdly you could walk outside with him on your shoulder and he wouldn’t fly off. Oh those are beautiful birds. Haha personality always trumps intelligence in my opinion. I’d love to get another one but renting doesn’t make it easy.
