thewarstore.com is gearing up for their annual Black Friday sale, for GW stuff this usually means 24% off.

They have a great selection and great service, I recommend them to anyone.

READ THIS FIRST!

Black Friday Madness!
Once a year we descend into lunacy, and actually have a SALE...

The exciting clearance sales are in the links below, but first check out some basic Black Friday Information.
Please read carefully!
And then check out the links below!

At its heart Black Friday is an extra 5% discount on everything we sell! Woo Hoo! I must be nuts. Anyway, when using the shopping cart just type the words "Black Friday" into the coupon section of the checkout screen. BAM! An extra 5% off the order total! It's like internet magic!
Please Note: YOU MUST ENTER THE CODE TO GET THE DISCOUNT!
There is more to Black Friday than just the extra discount!
Check out the links below for special purchase deals, overstock sales, our world famous mega bits bags and other gaming madness!
Black Friday is more than just Friday!
Black Friday internet hours actually extend from 12:01AM Thursday Morning the 28th to 11:59 PM Monday the 2nd. Black Friday store/phone order hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday 9AM-9PM. All times are Eastern US. No phone hours on Thursday (it's a US Holiday!).
Help us out! If it is on the website please don't call in the order!
We are going to be jammed as it is and my people work cheap. The site uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, and is SAFE! Please use the shopping cart! Help us keep the phone lines open!
We can't add new shopping cart orders to shopping cart orders already placed!
Normally we have no problem combining two shopping cart orders to save on shipping. However with the huge influx of Black Friday orders and the amount of packages and order pickers flying around over here, I just wont be able to get it together. Hopefully you will save enough with the sale to offset a second shipping charge!
Important Games Workshop Order Information
Please note the Black Friday discount is an extra 5% off the order total, NOT GW at 25% off (there is a slight difference in the math, even if it isn't immediately apparent). Our software doesn't change prices, it applies a 5% discount to the order total.

Enjoy the Black Friday Madness! It is the least we could do to say, "Thanks All" for a great year!
Sincerely,
Neal and Crew

Mega bits bags from a company forbidden from selling bits. Perhaps they'll have extra goody goodies in there as The Warstore pretty much liquidates whatever is left.

**Commander Cain**

Interesting, might hold off getting some stuff for a bit then! Thanks for the heads-up KK..

As an added note, they are no longer allowed to ship GW products outside of the States anymore now are they?

Damn it, I forgot that.

luckily I wasn't planning on getting any GW stuff, but still sucks.

**Inanimate**

What can we expect for the Infinity range?

**motyak**

This will extend to more than just BF (namely PP and CB) by the end of the weekend right?

Probably another 15% off, a "free sample model"(likely the female Moderator standing with her hand on her hip, as that's what it has been for the past two years), and maybe an assortment of free pins or patches that can be added to your order.

**Ouze**

This used to be the most exciting part of my Thanksgiving - getting the bits bag. I wonder what it could possibly look like this year.

**marv335**

I wonder if there will be anything from Wyrd discounted.

You sure about that?

I don't recall either if those things happening for the Infinity range in the past...

They're generally not under the "Infinity" range but instead under the Black Friday/Warstore specials.
I'm sure about the previous examples though, as that was how I got that specific Moderator by herself(along with a holocard that is the art frontending the Nomad section in "Human Sphere") and the collection of pins that I have. They might not do it again this year I don't know.

One other thing that they did last year which I don't know if they will do this year? Last year they put their remaining stock of GoGo Marlene up for sale. I do not know if they have extra Miranda Ashcrofts but we will see if they repeat that.

Thanks for the info.

**NewTruthNeomaxim**

Can anyone suggest a few good "starter" products for Flames of War? If I own nothing, and want to buy some stuff to get two players started, what would I buy, during this sale?

**motyak**

Can I ask what time it is 12:01 on Thursday for the Warstore? Because it is 7:51 Thursday morning here, and I'm no sure what timezone in the US the Warstore is in...

EST, they are in New York.

**motyak**

Thanks. 3 pm, nice.

**Tannhauser42**

Yep, I'll be staying up late tonight to score some bits bags if I can.

The Open Fire Starter set has germans and americans, and the rules. Its pretty good value and all plastic. Assuming you don't mind US v Germany, I'd start there.

**highlord tamburlaine**

So what generally constitutes the contents of one of these bit bags?

How much they run?

Can I piece together an actual figure, or is it just goodies for modding galore?

I am intrigued.

[I'm also broke after playing around with Miniature Market's sale all day, but that is neither here nor there.]

**SilenzZzz**

just placed my order for one of the bits bags and two cans of army painter colored primer ...

**Tannhauser42**

Just ordered 3 bits bags. Was scared at first, because it kept telling me "out of stock" every time I tried to add them to the cart but that was right after the new listings went live, and then it started working for me.

Anyway, as to what's in them? Lots of stuff. I don't know for sure which size these are (I don't think they're the big huge ones I got when they were shutting down their bits service). But there is lots of random stuff in them. They usually do try to put a near enough complete kit in a bag (you could, for example, make a full squad of space marines, but may be missing some options) in addition to lots more randomness.

**ultimentra**

I was hoping they would have a sale on some of the Pig Iron stuff. I am on the fence about getting some.

**motyak**

Were the bits bags limited time? I must have missed them...dammit. Because I can't find them anywhere

**Manchu**

Whew, got a lot of use out of that 5% off tonight!

the picture they use looks like they are the size of the bitzbags they used to sell before they were told to stop ... which was a decent amount ... i am sure now they likely overstuff it a little bit more.

it did the same for me on the bits bag tho .. i had to add a few other items to the cart then try again and it finally added ... was right around 11pm (cst)

**motyak**

So where is the bits bag on the site?

**SilenzZzz**

they are sold out ... not sure how many of them they had but they have pulled the listing back off the site now.

**tybg**

How long does it usually take them to add Gamesworkshop items to your bill? I ordered some battleforces yesterday but I still haven't been charged

**Tannhauser42**

Depends on whether or not they have it in stock. Given how busy they probably were on Friday, It usually takes an extra day for them to process my orders when I have instock GW stuff added. Given how busy they probably were on Friday, Monday may be the day they process yours.
