Chase do you have the ability to order from Puppetwar which I think is a UK company?

Grimwulfe in case it's helpful let me give you my take on Puppetswar.   I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them.   And I think I won't again anytime soon because I finally got fed up.  Many of their models look GREAT, they've got some good sculptors and a knack for figuring out what people want.   

But, they cast their stuff out of this really crappy material.  You could take any of their models and crush it between your thumb and forefinger easily.   I frequently break off a leg or something just trying to glue it together.  I shudder to think what would happen if you like accidentally dropped a codex on one.  They just aren't up to the rigors of playing warhammer with real people, need too much field repair.

Yeah it's probably also less of an issue if you're getting something blocky, rather than something with spindly parts.

I've had mostly good experience's with Puppetwars.

My Bad experience was I purchased a set of there not-wraith's, and two out of three of the model's were broken in several places, had flash galore (worse than finecast), and missing pieces. I contacted them and they gave me a whole squad as a replacement that were perfect. Granted with a little TLC and pins and super glue I was able to get the other two functional. There customer service was great though.

After that I've made a couple of order for little things like heads and shoulder pads and have had no issue.

Unfortunately, it looks like I can not order Puppetwars.  :(
