The loss of a giant

Well I'm sure you are all wondering why we have suddenly decided to drop the Games Workshop line, and we feel that you are entitled to know.

First off, we have put up with a lot of strange business practices over the last few months. Not being able to use GW images to help sell their own products, being limited to only one delivery per week for stock, trade sheets that were not correctly updated thereby causing us to sell items that had been discontinued and were no longer available, even being told that it would cost £150 to get next day delivery on a shipment.

I should point out here that none of our other suppliers have policies like this. In fact next day delivery is a standard affair once the minimum order has been met. Something that we are very grateful for. :)

However we put up with all of this, because we love Warhammer and wanted to sell it to all of you and at fair and affordable prices.

Unfortunately it was just not to be.

As of the 1st of June, Games Workshop will be increasing the price of most of their range by about 20%. So for instance, currently the Assault on Black Reach box set costs £39.15 from their shop. As of the 1st it will cost £48.95.

From a business point of view this is a decision we simply cannot fathom considering the current climate. Surely dropping the price, thereby picking up more new customers and sales would have been the better choice. However that is their decision and it is not up to us to tell them otherwise.

However there will be one other slight change made, and this is to their wholesale rates.

As you can imagine our margin is very low considering the level of discount we offer. A decision that we have never once regretted. ;) Unfortunately however, Games Workshop are due to implement a 4 tier discount system which in our case, what with currently being an online only retailer and only being open for a few months, we found ourselves right at the bottom of the discount tier.

This new wholesale price simply made any discount higher than 10% unsustainable. So unfortunately we were then faced with a choice, either we continue to sell Games Workshop's line and heavily reduce our discount, or we wash our hands of it and focus on other miniature lines that we feel are of equal or superior quality, and at prices that don't make the wallet run away to Bermuda.

We choose the latter, it may not be what we want, but Games Workshop have forced this decision on us.

So get them whilst you can, cause once their gone they're gone. :(

Oh we also guarantee that we will not be increasing the prices of what we have left of GW stock, they will stay as they have always been and they will still carry a discount of 25% off. ;)

We hope after reading this that you can understand why we have chosen this course of action. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to add them below.

It's live, it's live!

Finally, after hours upon hours of late nights and early mornings. Warmachine is finally live on the site, and all at 15% off!

We are all really pleased to be able to sell these miniatures to you. We've had our eye on them for quite some time now, so it really is an honour. Also we've just had our first shipment in from our supplier and the presentation is every bit as grand as that of Games Workshop. Though we will go out on a limb here and say that Warmachine's bases are a quadzillion times better...no more top heavy miniatures for us. ;D

No rest for the wicked though, as there are many more lines that we're going to be adding over the coming months. Starting with Warmachine's far more primal brother. I'm sure you all know what we're talking about. ;)

Twenty to one and work is done...almost.

Been unbelievably hectic this last week. We received some very very good news from a new supplier and have been preparing the shop all week for a brand new line of miniatures.

We've wanted this line on our shop since day one, so it's a real pleasure to be putting it on now. :) I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll be able to find out what it is, but to those who can't find it, I can definitely say that this is a good one.

As soon as everything is ready and perfect the doors will be opened. So stay tuned folks. ;)
