Anyone had any dealings with Black Tree in the UK recently? I need a unit of dwarven hammerers but refuse to pay the frankly offensive GW price for them...
Yes - but although they have an address down in Cornwall on the site, I think most of the stuff is done from their Texas base.
There is another thread where I mentioned getting some of Camels from them - like Padre's - and just how long it takes to turn up.
http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=33589.0 To sum up:
Plusses - Nice models - have had lots of stuff on sale for a while.
Minuses - No communication - Delivery for me was 4 weeks and then about 6/7 and one set is still to follow** - Said that they didn't take your money until the order was ready and my money came off my card same day I ordered - and although I was charged in GBP on the site, the credit card showed I was charged more as they had taken the payment in dollars.
** When my second order turned up there was a set missing, but I did get 7 extra infantry models - there was a note saying "sorry for delay - other set to follow" but no mention of the extras, so I wasn't sure if it was an error, or a bonus to make up for the delay.
I get the impression that they are run/owned by some older guys, and it is not full time business. They took over the old Harlequin outfit I think in the past.
Nice stuff but you need to be patient and be a bit tolerant.
