Hi I am wondering: What is the best place (online) that sells minis? I like Games Workshop, but their prices are kinda outrageous! Are there any places that sell them cheaper than GW, but are still reputable?

thewarstore.com

http://www.wargamerscave.com/ is also awesome. 25% off if you spend $50 and $6 flat rate shipping. They have a more limited selection of game ranges, but they are awesome for 40k merchandise.

choasorc.com everything's cheaper and no matter how much stuff you get its 6.50 shipping

Us Aussies buy from Maelstrom.com which is a UK seller with free shipping (Anything over $25 I think). Since this stuff comes from the UK you might want to check it out. However the guys above may be on to something good.

I save about 40% but our GW stores are extremely expensive.

^ Anything over £10.


From what I've heard the Warstore is the best if you're in the US.

I assume you don't have an FLGS?

^What he said.

If you have a good local store, ask them what sort of discount they would give you on a large order. My FLGS is happy to give a discount if you place a $200+ order, and since I have been a loyal customer for years, they don't ask me for pre-payment. (It is situational. They have been burned in the past by people placing large orders, who then never come in to pick it up.)

If you don't have a good local store, the internet is your friend indeed.

I do have a FLGS but it's slightly out of the way, like half an hour. I will try some of those websites

Agreed, thewarstore is great.

Only drawback with US online stores is GW forbids using a "shopping cart" sales format. You have to telephone or email your order to them. This goes for all online retailers in the US. Only place in the US to do a fully online transaction for GW is ebay.

Since OP is in the US I would caution against using UK or other foreign sellers unless he wants a long wait. A call or email to thewarstore.com will ahve you your stuff in a week or less, depending on how far from NY you are.

Orders coming form UK or Europe in general will be around 3 weeks, unless you pay a huge amount for express shipping. I only use foreign companies for things not available in the US, or to US retails.

I deal with www.miniaturemarket.com. Nice guys there, and they give a nice discount on GW (and everyone else's) stuff.

I have used their ebay store without any problems.
