Major Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hey everyone. So I have bought 8 morghasts, Nagash and some getting started boxes. I wanted to do a pretty heavily thematic basing for the army. As such I was wondering if anyone knows of any bits sites? I am in need of corpses, models that i can impale on pikes, tombstones, anything that looks like the aftermath of a field of battle basically. Cheers all.

Lucio Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Cheapest suggestion imo is buying a box of Mantic Zombies, they come with gravestones UK bitz sites I use are www.bitzbox.com - Good customer service and quick shipping but a limited range www.bitsandkits.com - Terrible service, easily a week plus to ship an order but has a massive range and regular restocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve used bits box many times, always quick and helpful. I just ordered my first time from bits and kits - never again. I was sent my confirmation email. I waited for a “package sent”. None came. Three days later I write them and ask if they’ve sent them. Yes yes, “theyre on their way”. “Cool, can I get a tracking number?” No reply. I write them 3 more times over the next week, no replys. I was about to file a paypal dispute, when they show up in my mailbox, 3 1/2 weeks after I ordered. Horrible company, and if you doubt my words, google them. I’d much rather use ebay for hard to find bits, and bitsbox for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swooper Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I've ordered from Bitzbox a couple of times as well, fast delivery and no problems. Also ordered from Hoard O'Bits, which is good if you need bulk of something (like, all the weapons in a certain kit) but don't do individual bits, also they're in the US so more expensive delivery. Am currently waiting for a shipment from Forbidden Gaming, jury's still out on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandzak-Miniatures Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 That’s a bummer to hear about bitsandkits. I was going to place an order because it’s the only place I could find what I’m looking for. here in the US I typically use hobbytitan.com or hoard o bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilddog Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Green Stuff World has some good deals on tombstones and skulls: http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/scenery-accessories/191-gravestones-graveyard-plastic-set-renedra.html http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/scenery-accessories/350-100x-resin-skulls-sack-skulls.html You can also get their stuff off ebay.

Wolfman Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Megabitzstore in Germany has served me well. Also used bitzbox for UK, Hoard’o’bits and Hobby Titan in US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Ok everyone. So I have everything I need EXCEPT for bodies. Why is it so hard to find dead/dieing bodies and corpses?!?! I am making the base look like a broken freeguild cannon emplacement with one of the crew impaled on a pike, the other laying dead next to it and the last having his life forces drained from him by Nagash. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a problem. Must have had 6 or 7 off them in the last 6month. Slowest service was a week to dispatch email but that was during one of their many sales. Just received a box off them I ordered last week, no problems. They dont have tracking but it doesnt bother me for a £10 parcel. I recently used Megabitzshop.com which is German and good for some older kits. Delivered quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of horror stories about them out there. Bitzbox on the other hand seems flawless, which is also my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Honestly I'd just cut up normal miniatures unless you want long dead, then buy zombies. I've got one actual corpse miniature but not 100% where it came from as it was traded from a friend. It's a dead Empire trooper and is definitely a corpse as the back is completely flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutty Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Perhaps you could make a greenstuff mold of a torso and maybe the legs. Or you could invest in some instant mold or another re-usable mold making material. It won't be as detailed as the real thing; but when you push it on to the base and add a bit of gore/mud/etc. it should look the part. and you get a 'flat' back like the corpse mini you have. If you glue an intact torso to a base it'll stick up pretty high in most case, and you'll need to fill the area underneath it so that it looks believable.

Update on this, got the shipment today, no problems. Except I'm a dumbass and ordered less of some bits than I intended, so I had to place another order... which was actually okay because they restocked something else I needed more of anyway.
