As the title suggests, I just found a bit site and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them? I saw that they have just about everything I've been searching for in 1 place.

So Dakka, legit or not?

Runnin up on ya.

I've purchased from them several times without issue. They're generally fast shippers too.

I've also used them through ebay, and they've been pretty superb.

Appreciate all of the feedback folks. Now I've found a new place for bits.

Bought from them before, took a week to finish my purchase through auctions and buy it nows. Just let the guy know you're making multiple purchases over the span of time you need and he'll hold all the info together and bundle the stuff up together, saving you money. Great seller, highly recommended. If I had paypal and could order on ebay again (used a roommate's account before), I'd go to Horde O Bitz for all of my bitz orders. The guy is great.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

The only bitz service I know that actually HAS bitz. Most others have every half decent bit out of stock every time I look.
Ordered from them several times without any problems.

Bought things on them from Ebay. Went well, shipping could have been a bit faster but everything was well priced and packaged so I was happy. The quality of the shipping and bits was much better than Battlewagon Bits via the Warstore and prices were far better as well.

I may as well throw in my two cents too….
Dealt a lot with them through ebay both bidding and buying now…. I have to say shipping was very quick and never had a problem.

Used them a bunch of times on ebay without any problems. IIRC, they ship their bits in little plastic baggies in plastic sewing kit boxes in padded envelopes. That's three more layers of padding than I got from a 600+ rating trader on bartertown for two large assembled forgeworld models! I'd be surprised if you did have a problem with them.

Have made quite a few bits purchases (40K and WFB) through the HoB e-bay store myself and, to judge by the above responses, my experience was typical; items well packed, as described and shipped promptly.

Great to deal with. Good selection, good prices, good shipping times, and INSANELY well packaged. GW doesn't package entire models as well as these guys handle bits. I hope they are making a good living, as I'm hoping they will be around every time I need bits.

No issues from me as well.

Also, how does one apply to be a member of the Ultramodrines? Are harsh trials involved, ones that would test my faith as a wargamer and resolve as a geek?

This pretty much sums up my experience. The only problem I've had was he sent me the wrong dice in a large and diverse order. I didn't bother following up on it as it wasn't a big deal. I wish he'd bring back his "Hot Girl minis" section on ebay.

I've bought from them on ebay a number of times. They're hard to communicate with, like most large sellers, but they've done an excellent job each time.
