Hi guys, I'm looking for additional retailers in London for WM and hordes.

I know of darksphere and orcs nest, but I'm sure there must be more retailers around London.

Do you guys know of anymore?
Nope.

AFAIK there aren't any others.

Unfortunately PP has one particularly mental element to their business plan, which is that they will not sell their products through online-only retailers. This means the usual suspects like Maelstrom are the only place most people get their Warmahordes fix. Sadly though, most bricks-and-mortar sellers don't do them either as the small indies need to keep shelf space for big sellers, ie GW stock.

Obv Dark Sphere looks a pretty good option as they're cheaper for most things than just about anyone else. However, I've now heard of a few people having real nightmares with them over orders not turning up (either very late or not at all) followed by difficulty getting refunds). Martin G is currently going through this - I think he said he's been waiting four weeks for an order which still hasn't arrived.
My last Malifaux order did take a few weeks. Still recommend them if you're not in a hurry and Waterloo is a convenient way to take advantage of their low prices and no postage.

Leisure Games in Finchley sell PP I'm sure. They're London's largest games shop. 5-10minutes walk from Finchley Central tube (Northern Line).
They sell PP at gifts for geeks which are reliable. I've certainly not had issues with them, and they will be right on your emails if you want to clarify things.
Also wayland games sell them, same thing as above. I've used both sites without trouble and they are generally cheaper than most alternatives (darksphere is probably the exception - their store prices if you place an advance order are the same as the online prices of other stores, so you don't pay p&p).

I use both Wayland Games and Maelstrom Games (if one doesn't have what I want, I use the other). But then you do have to make sure they say on the website if they have items in stock. I'm still waiting for half of last months Maelstrom order because they are waiting for those items to come in (my Avatar of Menoth will be worth the wait). I checked with Wayland for the same, but they don't have those items either. It might just be a small prblem with the supplier, which could explain Martins' problem as well.
But otherwise, I've had no problems with either and they have both been extremely helpful and efficient.
