Hi all
I need to get my hands on a few WHFB Orc parts. Can anyone point me in the direction of any decent UK sites that sell individual parts?
I have used:
bitsandkits.co.uk
letthedicedecide.co.uk
bitzbox.co.uk
Any others?
James

Have you tried hoard_*_bits on ebay? I've never had a problem with them although someone here just recently stated they did. Not sure who or what thread.

Damn inkpwn....

Thanks guys
Just checked them out now, they could be a contender although I would prefer a UK based seller as I'm not sure a small packet would make the journey from the States without getting itself lost!

The Warstore.com has a great selection of bits and an online shopping cart. However, it doesn't meet your UK requirement.

There's a link there BTW. :roll:

Their selection is certainly the most extensive but still no Black Orc stuff!!! (well, they have some arms)
:blue: These parts are proving very elusive!!

If you want Black Orks the above mentioned Bitz Barns is cool. I have ordered and have had no bad experiences with them.

Click here to check it out.

The problem is, the bodies that all these sites have in stock look like they need to be holding double handed weapons which would make conversions much more difficult. I am assuming there are bodies specific for 2 hand weapons or double handed weapons (unless someone can correct me)

I think all the bodies can be assembled with either two handed weapons, or one handed weapons. The text and picture on the GW website would seem to support this.

I assumed from the pic of the assembled unit on the GW site that there are specific bodies for the double handed option as the shoulders look different (more upright, so the arms end up above the head)
This must seem like a boring topic, but I want to make sure that i'm ordering the right parts!

You know what, you're right. Did you see this article yet? http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/conte ... eMode=true

That one body is specific to the two handed weapon :(
