Kosmion Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yo! im looking for the best and cheapest retailers for aos. Currently im thinking of this:http://www.triplehelixwargames.co.uk/ I live in sweden so preferebly EU based thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galas Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I think Wayland its cheaper. But beware, if they don't have it in stock, you will need to wait 1-2 weeks before they are re-stocked and send to you. But as they say: You can have it now, or you can save money. https://www.waylandgames.co.uk/quick-order EDIT: Actually no! Triplehelixwargames its cheaper! Wow. Did you know their send time? Maybe I cancel the Start Collecting! Slaves to Darkness I have with Wayland and order it to them. I'm don't expect mine from Wayland before the 18th, and I order it the 28 of February! EDIT: Ok no, the product its cheaper, but Wayland cost me 4 pounds to ship to Spain and the cheaper option that Triplehelix give me its 15 pounds T.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladders1980 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I use https://www.darksphere.co.uk never had a problem with them, cheaper than Gw and have most things in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I use firestorm games I found via the heelan hammer podcast, they're cheap an fast, with additional discount from the podcast, I think they have additional release day/preorder discounts but it's been a while since I brought anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Triple Helix has some bad reviews online - lots of tales of orders that never turn up. Not seeing anything so bad about Dark Sphere - anyone got any clue how long their delivery takes? Element are insanely fast so I don't mind the fiver extra you end up playing on models (still cheaper than GW) but a Maggoth Lord for £35 is very tempting.

fartsocks Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Only ordered once from dark sphere, but it arrived in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've always used elementgames. Not the cheapest, but always cheaper than GW. They tell you what is and isn't in stock and i've never had a problem. Only downside is that the threshold for free delviery is £80. Edit: and doesn't look like it's free delivery in EU. So probably no good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I have used Darksphere I have ordered at the weekend and it was dispatched on the Monday, arrived on Wed, but I have never ordered anything they didn't have in stock.

ZealousJ Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've used firestorm games a fair few times. They're not always the cheapest but they have reasonable delivery rates, always deliver quickly, and have excellent customer service. I'd recommend them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution black Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Never had an issue with triple helix, they are my go to for GW stuff. But then I'm UK based. Wayland have been hit and miss, element games too. Firestorm were ok, and dark sphere were quite swift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 While we're at it, anyone got good US mail order options? I've used Warstore for the price, but they over promise/make it vague about turnaround times. I'd like to know that what I order is on hand when I order, not wait weeks for them to order to fill my order. I've been just gong to my local GW and paying full price just because I know they have it when I want it. So, I want cheap and fast. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I would like to say this. Using cheaper outlet stores is fine, but try and still support local games workshop stores also, store fonts help get people into the hobby, act as a good place to spend a afternoon hobbying, get some free games in, meet fellow hobbyists and form a great social location etc, These stores need our support. If they aren't seen as a good investment they won't be operated by gw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I still buy stuff from my local GW too, but it's nice to have an alternative during the slighter months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Trust me, my local GW and orher decent, friendly, service- oriented shops get loads of my money with the sub $100 purchases. I used to be a GW sales guy selling to local shops, so I know their situation. But when I've got a $500+ purchase planned and I can get it all for $400 and then add on $100 in paints. scenery, or other "eh, might as well pick up this other thing I can live without but since it's effectively free I'll get it" stuff, I'm gonna.

Kosmion Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 wayland seems to be the best cut of the free shipping, i think thats what I'm gonna take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 As people have said, if it isn't "in stock" (available to order isn't in stock) it can take up to 3 weeks to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The free shipping took about 2 weeks for me last time I used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossback Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If I make an order from GW, I use the free shipping to my local store so they get credit also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdkinker Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Since this has been answered, I wonder if I could hijack it and ask for options in the States? Many of the options in this thread don't ship across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Triple Helix don't keep everything in stock but are roughly 5% cheaper than most of the main stream companies, if you're after cost rather than speed I've not come across better (they're actually 30 minutes away from where I live too). Element Games are superb - order before 3pm and you'll get next day delivery (this includes Saturday). You can also build up "crystals" which allow you to have money off future orders. I had some really slow orders and poor communication from Wayland at one point and moved over to Element in a "throw my toys out the pram" moment, think it was for some pretty basic stuff like paints which their website said was in stock and ended up taking weeks to arrive. However since then they have redone the stock part of the website so likely have improved. Imps Gaming is a fairly new kid on the block and sponsor the Bravery One podcast. Pretty good discount and from the podcast you get a discount code for the next order too. Firestorm Games I've heard lots of positives about, but the couple of times I've looked have found they're generally not as cheap as Element.

For ordering in the United States I'm a fan of Doc's Discount Games as far as pricing and customer service, and their (free) domestic ship times are good as long as they have the product in stock. They do an additional pre-order discount, & have a xcel sheet catalog in case you don't see it on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have any input on where to shop online in the States? I am curious as well! I am new to AoS and have a few buddies that are as well!
