Hey all,

just wondered if anyone can recommend a good bitz site as GW dont let you order them anymore.

Im after a few cheap cyclone missile launchers for my Wolf guard squads

also failing getting some cheap does anyone have tips for converting some

**Arctik_Firangi**

They aren't usually cheap on bitz sites.

Are you actually interested in why GW don't offer a bitz service any more?

**Maxwell80**

yeah, they used to years ago and it was a very handy service, do you think if i was to phone them up they would sell me the frame with the launcher on?

**SagesStone**

Not unless you brought the other frames wrapped in the Terminator box it comes in unfortunately.

Have a look in your hobby shop for cheap army tanks. Might find something similar in there for a few bucks.

**ironicsilence**

As noted above, if you can find a store with this bit its not going to be cheap. The price on bits can swing pretty rapidly based on what armies are popular at the moment. With the recent FAQ Deathwing are more popular then ever which as a result has driven up the price of the cyclone missile bit

**Maxwell80**

will buy a couple of packs of termies then and upgrade them with left over wolf gaurd bits

**Grakmar**

It was a sad day when they discontinued the bitz store.

You can find some online, but as other have said, they won't be cheap. Also, check out eBay and the Dakka Swap Shop. You can find some good deals if you're patient.

Hit up the Swap Shop here, or head over to a TRUSTED trading site, like Bartertown.com.

Not everything in stock all the time but I guess that's the same for most places.

Be creative when your looking for bitz. The IG Sentinal missile launcher would look good on a termie and is only 2-3 US dollars.
You also need to shop around. When I decided to convert one of my Land raiders to a Redeemer, I ended up being outbid on the flamer bitz and mount (which together ended up going for 23$.
As it turns out, GW sells that entire sprue (under conversion items) for 20 bucks...less than the on-line cost of the T/L Assault Cannon alone.

Worse comes to worse, check your locals at the FLGS. Someone may have extras and be willing to trade.
