By retailer

Retailer	Entry price	Source	Checked
Element Games	£0.94/pot	elementgames.co.uk	September 2026
Goblin Gaming	£2.48/pot	goblingaming.co.uk	September 2026

The entry figure is the lowest price in pounds printed on that retailer's own hobby-paint range page, quoted exactly as printed. It is a REPRESENTATIVE ENTRY PRICE for the retailer rather than the price of any one named pot: shops stock different ranges in different pack sizes. Hobby ranges are discounted continually, so read every cell with its date. Delivery and VAT treatment are excluded, and three retailers is a reference, not a claim about the whole market.

Source: UK miniature paint entry prices (GBP) verified against each retailer's own range page on 2026-09-10 by infra/ingest/hubs/miniaturepaintscompare.com/ingest_vendors.py: every quoted figure re-fetched and matched verbatim (hash-pinned); product-type coverage evidenced by the retailer's live category page.

elementgames.co.uk Element Games Vallejo paint range (vendor's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date)
store.warlordgames.com Warlord Games Army Painter range (vendor's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date)
goblingaming.co.uk Goblin Gaming paints collection (vendor's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date)

Methodology: Every rendered figure is a price the retailer publishes on its own range page, re-fetched and matched verbatim (the quote and its retrieval date travel with the cell), then hash-pinned; a retailer whose page could not be read is listed with that fact, never an estimate. The entry figure is the lowest printed price in GBP on that page, exactly as printed. It is a REPRESENTATIVE ENTRY PRICE for the retailer rather than the price of any one named pot: shops stock different ranges in different pack sizes, and this is the only figure that compares like with like across them. Hobby ranges are discounted continually, so read every cell with its date. Delivery and VAT treatment are excluded, and three retailers is a reference, not a claim about the market.
