I estimate that £100,000’s worth of Warhammer miniatures were slain in Dawn of War 4’s new trailer
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4‘s latest trailer, in which an entire nerd cave’s worth of miniatures spanning all four in-game factions are gibbed, gutted and burned in about 90 seconds.
Somewhat to my surprise, this is the first time I’ve watched a Warhammer videogame and tried to calculate the bodycount in terms of tabletop figurine prices. My pen-and-paper estimates are profoundly upsetting, and that was before I looked at Games Workshop’s current catalogue – I think for the first time since 1999 – and adjusted my figures for inflation. Do any of you play physical Warhammer tabletop games right now? How does that balance out, exactly? Do you just sort of… not buy food?
