Partner Account [back to top]


What is the Difference?:

Stockist Account:

• A stockist account is someone who simply wants to stock and sell Games Workshop products with the minimum of fuss


• The Games Workshop Starter Range is built for the stockist account - It is built with our best selling plastic core products - On average the Starter Range should turn over 5 to 6 times a year

Partner Account:

• A partner account is someone who wants to get more from the Games Workshop range of products
  
  
• A partner account will eventually carry a larger range of Games Workshop products than a stockist account
  
  
• A partner account is looking to become the focal point for the local hobby community in his/her area
  
  
• A partner account is looking to run; official tournaments, painting classes/competitions and a whole lot more
