As it states in the title where do you get your gear from and how much is the discount

I myself use dark sphere in London uk. So far they are far the cheapest I've seen anywhere globally

I get much of my stuff from Wayland Games. Their discount varies, but it is usually quite a bit.
Dark Sphere seems to have even larger discounts though, I'll check them out. What are their available payment methods?

Iv started using smaller independent websites that are undercutting to establish a market share.
It might not work for them In the long term but it's working for me so far

Mostly ebay. You can find some good deals.

My FLGS gives us at least 19% off all their Warhammer. Free delivery and your stuff arrives in every wednesday.

Ebay for heroes and Dark Sphere for the rest of the army.

Dark sphere every time. I love the shop, the discount and the people who run it are very decent people too.

It's worth noting if you spend more than £100 rrp on GW products in store they will offer their 25% off webstore price instore. Given how much GW stuff costs I find it no problem breaking that magic number pretty much every time.

Sadly they have recently moved from very near to Waterloo Station (in London) to a much less central location, which to be fair is much bigger and very impressive as a gaming shop.

Dark Sphere for me, though their website hasn't been working properly these past few days. If they don't have in stock I tend to go for element games.

Does anyone have a good state-side retailer?

They offer quite a fair bit of paying methods but can't remember if they offer PayPal but as stated in an earlier post spend a worth of 100 quid retail ( not the cost of in shop items but the official GW costs) which works out even better for us the buyers and get the additional extra web shop rate. So far no online store or retailer has been able to beat the costs of these guts but again eBay not a great example for new stuff.

I get mine from Bartertown.com

Or the Dakka Swap Shop.

Last time I was in my local GW, I just bought paint..

-P

Miniaturemarket is my primary source. They have a 20% off across the board discount on the GW products they carry. They are a state side retailer.

TheWarStore ships from New York, I use them some but I've got a couple of local gaming stores that have stuff for 20% off GW retail too.

Even for paints I no longer use GW but instead I use element games in uk. Super low prices on everything paint wise and scenery stuff. They got great delivery options too. Check them out online

my "local" store here in aus is The Combat Company they do 20-25% off GW and great prices on other stuff, not as cheap as america, but we wont get that :(

The new place is around 200 yards from North Lambeth tube, only around 8 or 10 minutes' walk from the old place. And there's a fab noodle bar at the bottom of the street, so definitely an improvement in my book.

We're building up an Eldar army by purchasing Battleforces, and selling the bits we don't want, which means we end up getting a Wave Serpent and Dire Avengers for around £25-32. Retail on one WS is £28! Dark Sphere even give discount on White Dwarf! And yes, they do take Paypal.

Strikeforce games in Atlanta Georgia. They have 40% off non direct order GW items. He ships in the U.S. Only.

Miniature Market for most things unless I need a bit or blister then I go to e-bay.

I use Discount Games in the US, they offer 20% off plastics and free shippping. The free shipping pretty much seals the deal for me since most places charge about 6 bucks in shipping. They do payments through paypal. I've used them for most of my purchases.

The only reason I buy anything at my FLGS is that they are a business and need sales to stay open, which a lot of people seem to forget.

Umm...this...verbatim for me.

I do like to support the local business, so when I come up on some extra cash I buy from them, but otherwise the Discount Games Store is amazing! They have an ebay site, but you should email them and ask for their spreadsheet. the prices are usually less and they have the full list of everything they can get. Which is pretty amazing.

FLGS, 20-30% off everything in the shop. Their online store as well. Just ordered a bunch of creeping infection secret weapon bases for 25% off.

Great stuff everyone thanks for feedback and this post should help others looking to budget on purchases they really really wish to own. I bought my storm raven from dark sphere for 40 pounds but I could of had it for 37 if I went via web order. Pretty good when second hand ones on eBay usually go over that plus delivery

Ebay mostly, I don't mind getting second hand stuff. And recently discovered Dark Sphere for if I need new stuff at a good price

Thewarstore, best service anywhere. I recommend them to anyone in the states.
