Maxmini - all kinds of stuff, mostly infantry conversions - Maxmini.eu
Bitspudlo - weapons, vehicle weapon swaps - bitspudlo.com/
Old Crow - full models - www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/ocproducts.htm (note Old Crow is 25mm, so some things are a hair small)

I read that initial post as being fairly tongue in cheek. I realise you want to respond to every mention of you guys, but you might want to ease the throttle off the reaction-o-meter. It might help this thread stay on topic (heaven forbid!).

A goldmine for vehicle bits and bobs -Post apoc stuff.

Ive used these guys for things ranging from Alternate Vox Casters for my guard, to basing kits (which are very nice, btw), place called Secret Weapon Miniatures:

another one that i have used fairly recently.. these guys have seemingly everything in their store, called FRP games:


http://www.frpgames.com/

Wow, you weren't kidding about that last one (FRP games). So many new names on their website, i guess i'll go window shopping for a few hours!

Let's add:

http://www.heresyminiatures.com/weapons.htm

Any of these do some sweet Space Wolves minis/alternates?

I want my army to be flavoursed a certain way...

Paulson Games has been a good provider for me in the past, though I'm not sure what his status is at the moment.

Several different things mixed up here.
1.) There are custom bitz services that sell separate GW plastic bitz like bitspudlo.com/
2.) There are other manufacturers that sell customizing bitz that might be used for 40k as well
3.) There are companies that sell alternative miniatures incl riding wolves and vehicles.
4.) Not yet mentioned but also close: bases and basing material, see this thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/353268.page

Each one deserves a different thread because of the number of sources in each.
Here I only refer to point 2 and only to SciFi stuff:

Not many sites list where they are located (for postage reasons). Does anyone wanna list where each is located. It really helps when looking for something close to/cheaper postage for AUS

Hi Tech Miniatures is ran by Grytz (Check out his stuff on CMON). He's a stand up guy and I would endorse his site in a heart beat.

I am not in the mood to calculate shipping costs for all these manufacturers to all countries, as
1.) it is easy for you to do with the manufacturer you are interested in (including possible free shipping rules)
2.) all products are worth the extra 50 cent, additional postage might cost
3.) some of them have retailers that sell their stuff in your country (for an extra price) like the Warstore in USA.
