It seems like Wayland have cheaper prices than Maelstrom by only a little bit, but it seems like they are on sale for now (which is currently cheaper than Maelstrom), but Maelstrom still has very good prices which are cheaper after the sale.

As above, wayland games is cheaper. it's best to buy in bulk there like two to three boxes due to shipping cost from £5 to £10.

i use both wayland and maelstrom
maelstrom takes forever for things to be posted but the free shipping is nice and i get emails now and again with discount codes which makes it especially nice when on a bulk buy or for those bigger apocalypse items.
but i buy most of my stuff from wayland although i have been known to buy the odd bit off of buyforleesonline as they sell 3 box deals that sometimes works out cheaper.
also i buy from gamingfigures.com as they do free shipping, the prices are good and they sell KR cases that you can buy individually, i also have had an amazing service experience with them.

Of course there is allways the bargin basement option. Ebay. I have had some great bargins. two squads of well painted(better than me) csms for around half price. Squads of terminators, dreadnoughts, tanks, all sorts of stuff. There are some real bargins out there. You just have to check them out and ask for additional photos.

^ Another thing like Ebay is Craigslist, only you usually have to pick up your stuff from the seller and prices are not quite so reasonable.
My hobby shop is usually good about Warhammer stuff, I saw a Valkyrie for 42 bucks (20 less than the GW site).

Just checked all of these sites - they look pretty good.
The only problem I have is the conversion rates (even though I am still saving), and that it takes about three weeks to get over here which includes the processing time. I suppose saving money is the more important part though...

www.wargamesworkshop.com is very good, I have used them several times- good prices and speedy service.
Wayland games is alright, their prices are good but in my experience they can take a long time to send out your order. To be fair this is usually because they sometimes have to order what you want in from Games Workshop but still, sometimes waiting 3 weeks for an order can be a bit frustrating.
A lot better than Forgeworld's shipping times around christmas though

They sell their products at the same price.
I can never see to master Ebay. I bet you ninja-bid at the last second or something? Any tips? I REALLY want to get in on that.

same price as what Gw post on their website but you dont get charged for shipping if you by through GW in america its like 15 bucks for shipping per item but thats because i live in the states so i go through a shop and get the items for exactly what it cost, plus i live in oregon so no sales tax. but if you want to find cheaper products id say go through ebay my cousin bought a 2500 black templar army all new models for 300 bucks. so yea you can get lucky deals.
