In another 5-10 years GW might very well just cut their costs, stop making their own models and sell files that you get to print at home. The shops will just be a few 3D printers and a bunch of pictures with barcodes. In 5-10 years the quality of GW minis will keep increasing. Remember, right now there is nothing stopping you from making your own minis from green stuff, paper cutouts, or just proxy stuff.
Some people take the time to, some people do not. Most people just stick with GW, and for 2 main reasons. They like/love the quality, and its required in major tournaments.
The key for me is anyone in the geek sphere knows what warhammer 40k is. Most people who don't play is because of the cost really. If you boil it down, there really is a huge opportunity for warhammer to grow, but GW is pricing themselves out of it. I used to sell the things and it was perfect when the starter set was $60.
Cost vs video game was an easy sell. Plus the company still made nearly $40 on a starter set, back in 4th ed. Hell starter sets should be a loss leader to hook people in. Most people who don't play is because of the cost really Again, what's your proof of that?
In Agreement and Head Movement, Ian Roberts explores the consequences of Chomsky's conjecture that head-movement is not part of the narrow syntax, the computational system that relates the lexicon to the interfaces. Ian roberts anchorman.
Lots of geeks earn enough that the cost is a non-issue and have much more expensive hobbies. I'm not suggesting that proof exists, quite the opposite in fact. If you boil it down, there really is a huge opportunity for warhammer to grow I'm afraid I don't agree with that assertion. I do agree that GW is shrinking their market share due to their current pricing strategy. There's some subtlety in that statement though - I feel the potential market is a certain size and lowering the prices significantly wouldn't grow the pie.
Raising prices too much limits the size of the slice GW gets rather than shrinking the pie.

The work-in-progress army isn’t perfect, but it’s close enough to the real thing that I would imagine Games Workshop – the games manufacturer – might start to get a little worried. The growing popularity of 3D printing figures and armies for Warhammer games, to me, says more about the rapidly increasing prices of Games Workshop products than the current accessibility of 3D printers. Armies can regularly cost several hundred dollars, and, depending on the army being created, it can get uncomfortably close to $1000. The Redditer that printed this army said these models would have cost in excess of $300, and the army isn’t even complete yet. Being able to 3D print a complete Warhammer army has long been a dream for many a fan of the game, and quite a few manage to do it successfully.
But realisticall,y the printers available today are simply not capable of producing the level of detail that the figures typically possess, so you can argue that it probably isn’t a huge concern at the moment. However, that is rapidly changing, not only with improving post processing methods and higher quality FFF/FDM 3D printers, but machines using light cured resins like the from Formlabs are already producing models detailed enough to match the injection molded originals. It seems at this point the only things standing in the way are printer price and accessibility. There will be a time when just about anything that is currently manufactured with traditional injection molding techniques can be duplicated with a 3D printer. This may not happen for a few years, or even a decade, but it will happen, and the manufacturers who own trademarks on replicable products will be forced to respond in some way. This is a legal showdown in the making, and it makes sense that the first companies to have to deal with it will be industries that have a significant user overlap with 3D printing enthusiasts. Games Workshop is notoriously litigious, and it would not surprise me if several of the 3D model marketplaces that host Warhammer models have already received takedown notices from their lawyers.
