A PowerPoint shared at the GAMA Expo (Game Manufacturer’s Association) revealed the that Warhammer 40,000 remained the top-selling miniatures game of Fall 2024 in American gaming stores.
It's hard to believe there's even still a market for these. Wizkids charges way, way too much for their D&D minis I see flooding the shelves, unpurchased, in the few gaming stores out there. Maybe they get bigger sales online, but I have a lot of contact with "Nerd Content", if you will, and I never see any of these things advertised, anywhere, in more than small batches.
I guess my point is, being on top of a dying or extremely niche market isn't that big of an achievement. The Warhammer name is likely carrying them regardless of policy, and far more casuals are aware that the Warhammer 40k II game was awesome, than they are of things like female Custodes and the like.
It's a shame that Games Workshop is still on top. Hopefully this entire market will collapse with the spread of 3D printers.

Been tempted to get into Battletech. Is it any good?
