I'm looking to buy new models and I'm looking around the web for good deals but so far the best i've found are UK sites and the shipping ,I'm guesiing will be an arm and a leg, as well as a few toes and maybe an ear. The best I could find for US is thewarstore.com but i was wondering if there's anything better out there that i've overlooked.

I would give you a high five but my power fist is stuck in the on position. |

With the current exchange rate between US/ UK, it makes sense to buy from the UK for you Yankees. For that very reason, Maelstrom Games UK is your answer. You get a discount on top of the good things your Dollar vs their Pound are already doing, and they ship worldwide for free. Yes, free. You don't have to order a certain amount, or anything like that - whatever you order, the shipping is free. I cannot stress how good that part of it is. BYE

Are there any places based in the UK that offer 20-25% discounts?

Wells, let's do some math. I recently completed an order with Gorilla Tactics for some new Orks. Here's what I bought.
1. $42.00 - Assault on Black Reach Box Set
2. $15.40 - Boys Box Set, Part Code: 99120103013
3. $14.00 - Ork Lootaz and Burnaz Box Set, Part Code: 99120103014
+ $5.00 shipping
Total: $76.40 ($102 MSRP, savings of 30%)
Here's what Maelstrom offers. ($00.00)
1. $53.28 - Assault on Black Reach Box Set
2. $15.98 - Boys Box Set
3. $15.98 - Ork Lootaz and Burnaz Box Set
+ $00.00 shipping
Total: $85.24
As you can see, I made a better deal with GT, since my box will arrive in two or three days, whereas a UK supplier might take longer. Also, the USD to GBP exchange rate is a bit worse than the USD prices that are supplied on the Maelstrom website, so that if their prices reflected the changes from this week, we'd be looking at $87.74, a bit more than before.

While I have no opinion on Maelstrom, where did you get these figures for GT? At the moment they aren't having a sale on GW merchandise (at least, not all merchandise), so your numbers don't exactly make sense there...

The prices they (GT) quoted me were 30% off retail too. I priced out a Redeemer, Land Raider, Vindicator, and Battlewagon.

Huh, wish a) they were slightly more transparent about a little things like price, and b) I knew that earlier today... bah.
I even get their emails too...

PLEASE READ ALL TERMS BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER!
STEP #1 Create a user account - it is free and will allow you access to the following:

This is from their Buyer's Guide. As you can see, step 1, 30% off all GW as well as other products.

Good to know. I wish a) they were slightly more transparent about a little things like price, and b) I knew that earlier yesterday... bah.
Perhaps you can find their shipping calculator, too? (Other then the minimum $10, that is.)
