I was just saying it was funny that was the default.

How they got away with this thievery will never be known.

yeah, clearly it must have taken some sort of tactical gen- CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!

He must have infiltrated their facilities in a CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!!! and stolen their mold design schematics.

Clearly they came up with the idea in 1970 and GW just stole it. If you read the credits of Starcraft, it clearly states thanks to miniatureshobby.com for not pressing charges. I bet the reason Fw changed the CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT's name was to try to hide the stealing of it from this upstanding Chinese company.

Also "Handing Time: 5 days"...spellcheck!!! and 5 days seems kind of quick from China.

That's the handling time...
The shipping is a bit longer.

There is one obvious answer to the date and price oddities: this website is clearly a product of the warp.

Were still paying 12 dollars for a tiny piece of metal of plastic :(

cf my addendum General.
It never occured to me that the date was set so early it predated anything but computers that had to be housed in a warehouse they were so large

Am not sure they are in China
Google translate said Spanish?!
So who knows where it is that they don't actually exist!

Sorry I didn't notice that.
Anyway, it's past 12:00 here so I'll be gone soon.

I wonder if anyone who said they would on this thread will actually order from them. I would be surprised if they are legit.

Quite clearly, GW moves to China in 2045, but a Warp Gate opened up when they attempted to cast a model of Tzeench(for the release of Codex: Dark Powers)

the entire company was sucked through the warp and transported back in time to 1970 when they set up show under a new name. they also, in Tzeench's twisted scheme, began to sell their products at rediclously low prices. this under cut their past performance and the company was forced to move to China to save money.

I will make an order to see how legit they are if someone is willing to give me the cash

Well it sounds fair to me

I'm thinking about ordering something from them...
Harry the Hammer is looking very tempting...

If it's money you're willing to possibly lose, go for it.

Also known as "non crime against humanity prices".

Would kill to get that Archaon model. If someone can prove this site legit, I'm buying it. If somebody orders and gets their model, can you PM me immediately? I want that model, but I don't wanna pay $45-60 for it...

Sounds totally legit and dependable to me

Saw some useful little inexpensive bits that wouldn't be a great loss if it went wrong.

Shipping quotes are based on the address information you selected:
United Kingdom
Available Shipping Methods Rates
Flat Rate (Best Way) $25.00

was China as default country in box.
Why google translate was from Spanish is still boggling

Purplefood,
Even if it is somehow above board, the postage is gonna sting.

The whois lookup has the website registered in China.

It says that orders over $20 will ship free.
It's also funny that the site is powered by MH (itself) and the privacy page is somewhat lacking:

MH Privacy Notice wrote:

The fact that many of the sections of the website are also blank dose nothing to help its legitimacy

I clicked on the hope page banner for free shipping, and guess what that page said...

Also flat rate shipping quoted above did not change between China, and my post code entry.
Again looking rather dodgy imho


Has anyone else checked out the section "War Games" code WB
Is a lot of Blood Angel product which one would have expected in the Warhammer section?
It is either selling GW products under another name, or just selling copies under another name. Either way cannot be legal?

'Legal' in China depends a lot on who you know, and how much you pay them. Sheer chutzpah can also carry you a long way, so long as you don't step on the wrong toes.

Anyway, looking it over, it looks 'legit' to me, in that if you give them money, they'll send you recast GW stuff. It looks like they've even got some plastic GW bits recast in resin.

Obviously, someone over there has access to some casting gear and knows how much they'll be able to make selling their recasts before GW can make them stop. If it can make them stop.

Alright, if anyone dose order to check if this is legit, order with one of those visa gift cards to hide all of your info.

And I see this going away in MAYBE a month.

January 1, 1970 is a default date for a lot of computer systems. They count time from that point in a signed 32-bit integer. Interestingly this leads to a Y2K style problem cropping up sometime around the year 2038.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

I'd totally get the DKOK Command squad for 20 bucks.

Btw, as a side note, is anyone else having trouble getting the images to zoom in? Like it says "click for larger picture" but all I'm getting is a white box.

Well at least thru paypal, you have buyer protection. As for GW trying anything against this site, dude its China. This is the country that has a habit of copying stuff and selling it (see NORICO).

I'm sure you can attribute that to more bad coding in the site. If they were asking for credit card payment, I definitely would've expected some kind of card fraud, but with paypal, they could take the payments, drain their paypal account and vanish, but that would strike me as a very short term and fairly small pay off for the effort of putting up a site and setting up the checkout.

So I'm voting recasters. It'll be interesting to see what happens to them.

Website is not working for me, so I cannot look at the fun :(

Quality looks pretty good, they have pictures of a whole araknarok spider cast in resin and the fine details like the webs are there.

++DELETED ON THE ORDER OF THE MOST HOLY INQUISITION++

I might have to buy a dread and see how it goes. If all goes right, that Harridan is in my future.

I only wish they had some the chaos dwarf stuff FW is putting out now.

Intrigued. I ordered a DKOK commissar and command squad just to see how it goes - can't go wrong for £16 really. Shame they don't do the rest of the DKOK range.
