THE BEST TOY SOLDIERS IN THE WORLD The history of Games Workshop stretches back over 30 years. We are the largest and most successful tabletop fantasy and futuristic battle games company in the world.
Worldwide Hobby At our HQ in Nottingham, in the UK, we design, manufacture, and retail the plastic and metal toy soldiers and rulebooks that are the foundation of an almost infinite hobby. The UK manufacturing operations in Nottingham are complemented by a production facility in Memphis, USA. Games Workshop is a publicly quoted company with direct sales operations in the UK, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Australia. Our Northern Europe operation is currently based at the Nottingham HQ and deals with Scandinavia, Holland, Belgium, and Eastern European countries among others. At the heart of the hobby are the millions of gamers aged 12 and up, who spend many of their waking hours collecting, creating, painting, building, and commanding beautifully painted armies on carefully prepared tabletop battlefields. The hobby is supported by Games Workshop’s own monthly magazine White Dwarf, which is distributed by major independent retailers across the world. White Dwarf is currently published in five languages, and special editions are also produced for the US and Australian markets.
What Is the Games Workshop Hobby? Whether it’s the sound of swords clashing or the blinding flash of a plasma cannon, the Games Workshop hobby puts you in command of the action! Using finely detailed miniatures as your army, you control the outcome of epic battles on the tabletop! It’s more than just a game, however, as the world of Games Workshop opens up an entire hobby of collecting, painting, and gaming.
A collection of models that hobbyists form over a period of time ranges greatly from small scouting forces to huge armies containing many hundreds of miniatures. Games Workshop products are not single purchase lines, which guarantees continuous sales all year round no matter what the weather is!
Top: Tabletop gaming brings players face-to-face to play against each other as opposed to being screen-to-screen. Left: The Games Workshop hobby helps develop artistic skills. Many gamers become highly skilled painters. Middle: Reading Army books and compiling army lists help with mathematical and literacy skills. Right: The battlefield is almost as important as the miniatures, and creating imaginative terrain is a very large part of the expanded Games Workshop hobby.

CREDIT TERMS AND LIMITS As soon as a credit application is received, a credit check is run on the business as well as the owner. Most customers indicate on the application the terms they prefer. We try to accommodate them as much as possible, but in the end, the decision is based on the customers’ credit and the discretion of the Credit Manager. The Credit Manager sets the terms as well as the credit limits, which are based on the credit report and what the customer expects to purchase monthly. Terms are either COD company check, COD certified check, credit card, or net 45 day terms. All extended dating requests must be approved by the Head of Trade as well as the General Manager. If extended terms
are approved, an extended dating form must be signed by the customer so that he understands that he is obligated to pay this order promptly. Terms customers are expected to pay promptly on their account on the date due, which is approximately 45 days from the invoice date. Once the customer becomes 30 days past due, a phone call is made. Once an account falls 90 days past due, it is removed from the system, and a final demand for payment is sent via certified mail. If the customer does not pay in full or work out a payment arrangement within 2 weeks, the account is sent to an outside attorney for collection. Monthly statements are sent to all customers.

RANGE PACKAGES The Games Workshop line is a wondrous combination of the highest quality science fiction and fantasy models. The GW family of products has grown incredibly over the decades we’ve been serving the hobby community. Over this time, a vast amount of our gross sales has come from a very small section of our products. In order to provide the best turn rate and highest profitability, we have broken this section into five groups or “Ranges” that make the line incredibly easy to stock. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Range 1 features a very small selection of starter product, usually reserved for large line distributors who aren’t looking for support from Games Workshop. As such, we haven’t shown this range in this guide. The other ranges are shown here along with details on their contents, cost, and approximate space requirements.
