ive saved up a few quid and am needing to buy some new gw deamons-i was just wondering where i can get the most models for my cash, any help is appriciated.

Dark Sphere is usually about 20% off RRP from what I remember.

You have a couple of options:

Darksphere (who as far as i know, dont really do much online now)

Total Wargamer - 20% off (can take a lil while to dispatch and process)

Vortex Wargaming - 20% off (heard good things about them recently, even though they are still uploading lots of bits to their site)

Triple Helix Wargames.

Perma 20% off with Free UK P&P and the Staff over the phone are quite nice and pleasant to deal with ^^!

This is not a valid swap shop topic. I am moving the thread to Dakka Discussions.

If you live in the Blackpool area then just follow the link in my sig below.... No not the dont click this link one the other, longer one. But follow the othe one to. Later

Dark Sphere are back doing online, them and Rocket Hobbies both do 25% off plastic, with slightly different for books, Finecast etc.

Have used both and happy to recommend either.

Rocket hobbies is cheapest.......fast service too

thanks again guys-it seems that rocket hobbies is indeed the cheapest option, now to buy toys.

Rocket Hobbies is quality, got my brother a basilisk for xmas with 25% off, arrived really quickly too.

I would just like to say that i have used Rocket Hobbies and the service i recieved is very poor, I would not advise anyone to use them.
I am now waiting 3 weeks for my order and i have had no answer to my emails.
Seems that nearly every company offering Gw products is a bit of a joke, and apart from Mealstrom (which is now closed ofc), I have not found one where i have to wait less then two weeks.

I've just had a very similar experience with Total Wargamer, albeit I did get a fairly prompt response to my emails.

The fact is that a lot of the smaller online retailers will have likely got busier with the demise of Maelstrom, as that demand won't have disappeared.

I've received emails from Rocket that were written by an actual person, not automated, at gone midnight, so there's no doubt that they're working hard. There's only so much can be done in a day, and if faced with the choice of spending time explaining to people where their orders are or actually getting those orders dispatched I know which I'd do. In an ideal world I'd do both of course, but that isn't always possible.

I'll stand by my recommendations earlier in the thread, I've tried most of the online retailers (I think) and Dark Sphere and Rocket Hobbies remain the two who I will always use out of preference.

I've lived in Blackpool my whole life and never new this place existed. Learning this has made me happy and I will definitely be coming in at some point.

It's worth checking the list of retailers in white dwarf, I was surprised to find a model store in my home town I never knew existed with a fantastic selection of gw products at %25 off.

Gifts for Geeks are pretty good. Sometimes slow due to stock issues but cheap!

Oooo gonna check out Rocket Hobbies

Try 4tk gaming, always a very good service and they only sell what they have in stock

Wayland games, they are very easy and pleasant to deal with.

I've had decent service from Dark Sphere. A few times they haven't replied to email enquiries, but what I'd ordered usually came the next day or so. I've never had an order take over a week for anything in stock.

Dark Sphere are generally pretty good. I emailed them to add something to a pending order, received no reply.

The following day, my parcel arrived including the extra item. At this point I hadn't even paid for it. Needless to say, I did and it was refreshing for a company to show such faith in a distance customer.

LIL?

It took them 6 weeks to put it in the mail, even then, everything was in seperate parcels that arrived in 4ish day intervals. I think I paid for it to be posted within 5-7 working days (something like that). 6 weeks late.


basically don't go there unless you're willing to go to the store and pick it up in person.

Not cheap. Including the cheapest P&P I save a grand total of 50p on a Cadian squad. Cheers for wasting my time.

That's a little harsh!

The fact is you will have it handed to you by the postman at your house and STILL save money over buying it direct.

It's daft to order one box mail order anyway, as of course p+p will wipeout nearly all the discount, it's more effective to buy a lump and then the cost per item of delivery gets diluted.

If you haven't got the funds or need to order a lot, perhaps a few of you can club together?

Well I just went on ebay and got the same thing for £12 including p+p. So I'd say all the sites in this thread are probably a waste of time

From a bona fide retailer or someone who just had spare to clwar out?

As wholesale is 60% of RRP and with fees and postage taken out then if that's a business they're going to fold in no time.

Wouldn't suggest Rocket Hobbies, took some time to get my orders. I would however suggest Triple Helix games, for free shipping the speed was good.

Agreed Triple Helix Wargames the whole way great service every time. Its the only online retailer that hasn't burnt me or messed me round for ridiculous amount of time and Ive tried nearly all of them in the UK.

The swap forum on dakka.

If you buy through the correct link on Wayland, you support Dakka, I think?

Are you sure? I thought it was just revenue per shown ad, or perhaps per click-through.
