Well, seeing as it supports our community here, I'd first have to plug the Webstore here at CMON. Good service, and they offer some of the artsy stuff that you won't easily find all in one place.

Fantization.com is run by a guy that I'm friendly with, and he's extremely helpful and very flexible on special requests/needs with your order. He's got some of everything, from games and models, paints brushes, to scenery supplies, cases, boardgames.... He's a total gamer and painter, and doesn't mind if his clients sometimes send him a picture of stuff they bought from him and then painted.

GW has really limited the ability of retailers to sell their stuff online, so if you want any Citadel/GW stuff, you'll probably still have to get it from their webstore or local retailer.

I would order from CMoN's webstore, thewarstore.com or directly from the US manufacturers like Reaper, who have excellent shipping rates. I have used all three and they each have excellent customer service and I have never had a problem on the rare times there was one with an order.

Based on personal experience I would avoid Fantization. Their cart does not have real time "in stock" listings and items listed "in stock" may not be. My last order with them had an item listed as "instock" and after I had to call to inquire where the item was, they later told me had been out of stock for over 5 months and took repeated calls and promises of refund and lots of time they refunded the cost of it.

I'm a big fan of the warstore 20 percent discount on GW and 5 dollar shipping. Always had a good experience with them as well

I'll pitch in my vote for the War Store as well; never had any problems when I've ordered from them and they usually offer a discount on most items.

I've ordered from Miniature Market, The War Store and Cmon and they were all fantastic!

I'd also give a shout out to Hasslefree in the UK (I know you were looking for US retailers but sometimes you just gotta pass along other places...) awesome customer service and a Piece of gum w/ my order!

I have also ordered from the WarStore and CMON in the US. Very good services from both.

Have you also looked at Maelstrom Games in the UK (www.maelstromgames.co.uk)?. They have free delivery on all orders over GBP 10, and yes that is ALL orders, even internationally. Their website keeps you appraised of what the status of your order is, and then when it is dispatched.

I like CMON and Fantization as well. There are a couple of mail order places in Canada for GW stuff...

Yay Canada, lol.
