Local is Lekker!

June last year I wrote this little piece, it was all about how our LGS' don't give us the time of day and have awful mark-ups on their prices. It also highlighted the time that it took to get our models.

I have been using a very well know online retailer from the UK and have had very little hassles with them beside them being so busy that they run out of Pre-order stock before they have even get all their pre-orders out which increases my waiting time by +/- 2 weeks, while thay wait for more stoke from PP in the US.

A couple of months ago a fellow gamer, seeing how Warmahordes was taking off, decide to start his only little PP stocked shop. He has call it Tribal Games. Granted the site might need to be re-vamp and needs a serious stock update but for now it is a start. With our exchang rate never being as stable as other countries I can understand why he would be reluctant to put prices on his site when our currency strengthens/weakens against the dollar 4 or 5 times a day.....Love you 3rd world.

One thing I must say is that he has really helped us, and I mean a lot, with prize support. He has bought tournament coins and given very nice vouchers in support of our events. Last weekend 1st place got a floating trophy, with the resin slayer on top, R200 ($30) voucher and a gold coin. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Update on PG Challenge:
This photo was taken last night before the army painter dip had a chance to dry. I will need to dry brush/highlight a bit this afternoon and get some matt varnish on him to take away the shine.

Tonight is gaming night so if I have no challengers I will start on Dene and try get her out of the way.

Hopefully we will have our PG applications through before the end of the month......man I want a WM T-Shirt.
