I'm looking into buying random bits and special weapons to augment my army. Tons of heads, shoulder pads, etc etc.
What would be a website to purchase from? They seem a bit expensive at thewarstore. I don't want to be "robbed" with bits that cost more (when put together as the original model) than the original model. Get what I'm saying?

Many thanks.

Try Ebay.

Blackdagger Games is a favorite of mine, as is Hoard O Bits.

http://www.thewarstore.com/battlewagonbits.html Ran by Neal at the War Store. Highly suggested.

And of course like was said above, lots of ebay stores are selling them now too.

That is an unrealistic expectation if you are going to bits sellers, who are a business. They are in it to make money, and not all of the bits from a box will sell, so in the end the prices will be higher than buying the whole kit.

This isn't the same as buying a PC in bits and putting it together to save money over a reseller who sells assembled PCs (as they are recovering costs of labor). This is more akin to someone buying those assembled PCs and splitting them up to sell as parts (in a market where you couldn't normally buy those parts separately).

I do like Blackdagger Games on eBay, I used them for most of the extras I needed for my ATV rough riders.

I appreciate all the help. Definitely turned up some better results than google, thats for darn sure. ;)
Found a good number of cheap flamers on one site last night... then during check out I learn it doesn't ship to APO/AE. Blast it!
Dug through my personal bits tackle box last night trying to find enough flamer pieces to scratch build infantry flamers. Think I got enough to survive on for now.... until I start my traitor guard army. :eek:
