How to read these numbers
"Cheapest on 47 of 2,569" is not a verdict on their prices. Of the 2,569 products another shop also sells, it counts those where Athena Games's in-stock price, before delivery, was the lowest of the shops we compare (a tie counts for every shop at that price) — so a shop that lists more of our catalogue gets more chances to win, and a specialist cannot out-score a generalist however keen its prices are. Read it beside that denominator, never on its own. The 189 products only they have a price for are not counted as wins: the only price is not the lowest.
We compare 24 shops, not the whole internet. "Best we found" means the best price among those, in the United Kingdom, on the day we checked. Games Workshop's own RRP is the benchmark we measure savings against rather than a shop in the contest, and Amazon is left out because its listings are written by resellers and cannot be reliably attributed to a seller.
Prices move. Every figure here is a snapshot from 25 October 2026, not a promise. Check the product page for what a shop is asking today.
