I go into the nearest Games Workshop and buy them. There's one ten-fifteen minutes walk away from me in Bristol, and in London it's just a twenty minute bus ride to the closest.

OMG MAN UR FROM MISSISSAUGA?? ME TOO! We might have bumped into each other once at the Square one store!

Srry to go off topic, but u don't c too many people from this town posting here.

Anywayz, I get my stuff at either the square one GW or the Oakville Canadian GW HQ retail store.

I'm from Whitby, and the nearest places are Skyfox Games Ltd. which is near the YMCA, and Worlds Collide. If you have any Magic Cards, sell them at Worlds Collide and use the trade value to set yourself up. Of course, you'll have to order it first, their stock is brutal compared to Skyfox's..

I'm in Maryland, so naturally I buy only from GW.

I buy all of my Warhammer from Ebay, second hand.

You get some FANTASTIC deals on ebay, and if you don't want models already assembled, there are still unopened boxes that sell for less than retail price.

Oh, but don't get scammed like this:

For small purchases, I usually buy from my local hobby store. However, if I'm going to buy a whole bunch of stuff then I order it off of thewarstore.net.

Most of my army I bought in the nearest GW store ( 30 km away ). To get single parts, f.e. a Deathwing Techmarine in Terminator armour, I use the GW mail order.

But I always have an eye on eBay. Sometimes they have interesting stuff ( like the polystone collectibles I just bought ).

i normally get them from ebay, its a lot cheaper


although a brand shiny new battle bunker store opens here tomorrow so all that might change
