Anyone have a good recomend for a GW reseller that offers 25% off like The Broken Forge did?

**Mad4Minis**

25% no...maybe someplace on ebay.

However, thewarstore.com does 20% off on all their GW stock, and the service is top notch.

**Time 2 Roll**

Miniature Market

www.miniaturemarket.com

25% off all GW products all the time. Free shipping at $75.

I've never ordered GW from them, as I just got into Warhammer, but I've ordered most of my other games through them and they've always been top notch on delivery and customer service.

thewarstore.com is awesome. 20% off, no sales tax, which means for us in CA it is like 27% off. Amazing customer service, too.

I'd like to vouch for Miniature Market... they've done right by me every time with some very large purchases.

I've also had great experiences with TheWarStore. Can't go wrong with either, really.

Same here, for both stores!

Just a question, do you have a local game store?

My local game store offers 25% off (large orders).

They're so full of win.

If you frequent a FLGS, definatly think about sending them some buisness. While they may not offer a cash discount they offer a whole slew of other services...

As far as online stores, I definitly recommend the Warstore and Battleroad Games (which is owned by a Dakka Dakka memeber!)

**Reecius**

Oh yeah, for sure, pay where you play, but if you live in an area where you don't, which I have, then online stores are a great alternative.

**G00fySmiley**

I say buy where you play to a point. i buy 2-3 boxes a quarter from my flgs but for boys and such i'd be rippping myself off to not just buy AoBR boy sets on ebay for 10-20 bucks for 20 slugga boys. i eventually want enough for 6x29 (30 w/ the nob PK BP) boys groups jus tin case i want a true green tide

If that's the price you're looking for, I've got to throw my support behind this recommendation. Mini Mkt is a great and trustworthy company. Plus, they've got a storefront with top notch people in it!

Miniature Market or Warstore have always done me right.

Thank you for getting the point. Everyone want to run to these online discounters, pay for shipping, then complain about the state of their own game store. Support local business, in one way or another, they are supporting you!

Thanks for all the recommends. I'll check out miniature market. I love the Warstore, just looking for a closer store to me.

As to the FLGS comments....

I don't buy a lot of figs at local stores for a few reasons. One is that they don't support my hobby, they sell it. Selling the models is not enough. We all know the difference between stores that sell a game and are passionate about it. I wish we had a FLGS that was passionate about it. I don't mind that I've been forced into garage hammer but they shouldn't mind if I can't play it there I'm not buying it there.

Two, it's a money decision. As someone with a business background a FLGS has to do a lot to make me plunk down an extra 25 to 30 percent. That's not an insignificant amount.

Sorry to rant but I've been sorely disappointed with my local shops for sometime. I wish I had a store I wanted to support.
