I would also like to give kudos to the warstore. I've only ordered a couple of times from him, but each was smooth as butter. The second time, I had actually moved, changed my phone number, but SOMEHOW, when I called, he answered the phone and addressed me by NAME.
I'd also like to recommend http://bitzbox.co.uk. They have a great selection and quick service. Sometimes they don't restock very well or very often, but the selection is outstanding, the shipping cheap and quick.

Thought I'd add this to the mix from another thread.....
Do you have a point that I have not already made?
That your calling everyone in this thread a liar because they dont have proof?

Hope more old fools come to their senses and start giving you their money instead of those Union Jack Blood suckers... |

English class is/was hard for you wasn't it?
Let me explain this to you real slow like: I am not calling anyone anything. I stated that both positive and negative critiques should have the same standard applied to them. What generally happens however is that anytime someone posts a negative critique of something/one they are pressured to "prove it" or looked at skeptically, yet most positiver praise is accepted at face value with no such demand. That is a double standard.
Does not mean any particular person is lying or not, but that they could be but we don't require them to back up statements with fact as we do with negative critiques. My own positive post about the warstore could also very well be a lie/over exaggeration/baseless claim , etc.
I didn't call anyone a liar, I pointed out the potential for lies to be accepted as truth because of the tendency to blindly accept praise at face value.
I know it's hard, but please apply some level of critical thinking to understanding what someone is trying to say instead of rushing to create e-drama...

I highly recommend chaosmailorder.com for people in the states. I used both them and warstore for a while when I first got into the hobby and got faster shipping and better customer service (IMHO) from chaosmailorder. Now I use them pretty much exclusively.

I just received my first order from Maelstrom Games. I ordered 3 boxes of Black Guard and 1 box of Black Guard Command. After the exchange rate (I live in the US) I paid $70 and some change for what would cost me $125 retail. Now not everything converts this well as it’s based on UK prices.
My order took 11 days to reach me, I think is pretty fast for coming across the pond. So if you find a good exchange rate for something have no worries when ordering from these guys.
