How big are those Pike and Shotte horsies? Big enough for GW dudes to ride in comfort, or do they look like they're comically overburdening their mounts?

Guys, I'm about to spend $50 on stuff I didn't know I wanted and that I will never realistically use... somebody, please stop me!

What stopped me is the realization that, no matter how good a deal it is, it's not a good deal if you never actually use any of it. $50 is a lot for a box full of stuff you never do anything with.

Pretty sure they're dinky.

$12 is expensive shipping when it nearly doubles the cost of your order.

That really depends on what you're ordering, though. If I sold you a Ferrari for $1.50, $12 shipping would be a steal.

This obviously isn't quite on that level, but you're getting $10-$15 sprues for $1.50. So ordering anything more than a single sprue still saves you money over buying at normal price.

The value of the goods has absolutely no impact on what it costs to ship them, unless the shipping includes a value-based insurance charge.

They are properly scaled, so they are way too small for GW figures.

**Flinty**

You could use them as steppe ponies

I don’t know what you ordered, but I bet the shipping is because you ordered in $$$ and not in £££. I always order from Warlordgames using the great British pounds price as they are just as bad if not worse than GW with the conversion rate. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on the British flag to change currency to £s.

I ordered 10 sprues at £1each and was charged £5 shipped to St.Louis, MO, USA. £15 total and with my bankcard’s conversion fee is spent $19.13 total. I’ve done this with all my Warlordgames purchases. Conversion rate was 1-1.2753 which means my sprues were $1.28 each instead of $1.50 each and I spent $6.35 on shipping.

Enjoy your exalt, I never thought of doing this.

Some quick math shows Warlord converting at 1.60

Now, how to get a VAT refund?

If your living in the US and have it shipped here I don’t think VAT gets added.

**Flinty**

Wow. That was surprisingly good value. Picked up the dice game and some frames of Antares stuff that will be kitbashed into... I dunno... something

Fun fact: Fireforge's steppe ponies are the same size and shape as Gripping Beast's Arabian horses.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I use them with Bretonian Damsels and Ungol horse Archers, anything where a smaller horse does not look out of place. For this purpose I think they are great.

**Flinty**

Also some Algoryn infantry sprue. What with the Soviet and the drones and heavy suits of the gbarr, you could make a pretty.big not-tau force for.really not very much. I might be tempted if I wasn't drowning in Tau models.already...

**Stormonu**

Dammit, was going to do a second order just for the bike sprues, but they’re already all gone.

I can’t believe they are selling the Terminator game for $16 - that’s just insane!!!

They aren’t like GW, but it in £££ and you pay $13 for it with your bank card exchange rate. Shippings cheaper too.

Keep checking back, the Terminator Box game, and the Algoryn have both been sold out and then reappeared later, you may be lucky

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

More new stuff

•Celt Command frame NEW IN SALE
•Algoryn armoured infantry frame NEW IN SALE
•Algoryn command frame NEW IN SALE
•Project Z Red Zombie Dice

Sadly the Terminator playmat has now sold out as I'm impressed with mine which just arrived as it's going to be ideal for small skirmishes

Edit: There was a coupon code valid to 30th September for 10% off my next purchase as a thank you for making my first order (even though it wasn't) so if you've already ordered from them and want to try it it's DESERT_RAIDER (if only it has arrived before I made my second one)

**adamsouza**

I was checking it daily and I somehow missed the Celt Warrior and Biker sprues.

**Albino Squirrel**

Yeah, the good stuff goes fast. They had the male survivors on there briefly as well.

**Jamie Shred**

Has anyone that ordered during last weekends sale received a shipping notification yet?

**ElvisJuice**

Yeah, I've actually had my package from the sale - a terminator mat and 5 sprues of the military apocalypse survivors. Turned up yesterday

I've had one of two orders delivered, the second hasn't shipped yet

**Jamie Shred**

Cheers everyone, did you receive shipping notifications or did your orders just turn up?

**insaniak**

I got a shopping notice this morning.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I got a email for the one that arrived saying it was on it's way,
(not had an email about the second yet)

**adamsouza**

My first order took almost 5 days to show up fulfilled and the second order at least as long. Both of my items showed up within 24 hours of each other, despite being fulfilled nearly a week apart

**Jamie Shred**

Ok thanks everyone I will get onto them on Monday if I haven't heard by then

**Albino Squirrel**

The Algoryn command sprue is up there if anyone is interested.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I'm still waiting on some sort of shipping confirmation, and my order was placed well over a week ago, if not more.

Fingers cross they decide to ship soon and have't run out of all the goodies we ordered...

**lord_blackfang**

Mine has been waiting at the post office for a few days now. I don't remember even getting a shipping notice.
