Alright guys, where is the best place to buy 40k stuff from in the UK online.

I am after a squad of SM centurions the best i can find is £39.53 inc delivery through Dark Sphere. Anyone used them or any better suggestions. Delivery not crucial but i would like it to be in a couple of weeks not months.

Thanks in advance dakkanaughts!

I've used Firestorm Games and Wayland Games with good results from both. Wayland can be a little annoying because they list in stock and for order as the same green light icon so sometimes orders take a week or two to get ordered in and then shipped out. However if they can get it in stock both are good companies.

I've had terrible luck with wayland, their shipping is atrocious and they always have some form of excuse. Dark sphere however are brilliant and ship within a day or two. Plus they have the biggest discount I've found.

Firestorm are £42.75 and Wayland are $3.13 inc delivery. Any advance on £39.53?

Barring ebay and being lucky I've yet to see a store beating Waylands discounts in the UK (and most imports will be cheaper to buy, but postage will typically raise the price up a lot).

Gifts for Geeks has always been good to me, 20%. Just avoid total war gamer.

My good friends at Element Games are not the cheapest but I can't fault their customer service and they carry a huge stock of all sorts. Their shop has far more stock than any GW including Warhammer World. They've never let me down, e.g. giving me free shipping when a lock mishap meant I could not pick something up and although I had chosen to collect in store they posted it on immediately for free with an apology. The guy who runs it is a top notch painter too.

Dark Sphere is my usual go to store. Delivery can be a bit expensive, but they're very reliable.

I normally use Wayland but if you don't like waiting for things I'd avoid them.

Everything I've ordered from them has taken at least a month to arrive the stock availabilty levels on their website don't seem to mean a thing. I ordered two items including the Tyranid codex as soon as they went up for pre-order. Both are in stock and ready to ship according to their site yet my order status is awaiting stock.

I might try Dark Sphere next time.

Sark Sphere's my go to place may not be the cheapest but very good shipping times. Only problem I have is sometimes they have limited options. After them I'd go for element games.

We're lucky, because Dark Sphere is our nearest store - they seem utterly reliable, and are good, helpful people too.

I've certainly found them far more user-friendly than Wayland, when they say an item is in stock, it is, if they say they'll get new stock Thursday, they get it Thursday...

I buy stuff in the Dark Sphere store, typically, rather than online, which works for me, but maybe not for all of you.

Thanks Guys, Dark Sphere it is, Grav cannons here i come
