Ah well it was good while it lasted.

We are suspending shipping to the US with immediate effect.

It currently appears that all goods that do not have the tariff paid before landing will be subject to the $80 flat charge. As we currently have no means of either levying or paying on those tariffs the only option left to us is to refuse orders from the US and its territories.

The most likely outcome is that eBay at some point in the future will implement a method to do this and submit the information electronically (as they do with VAT for the EU). We will probably not implement this for direct sales, so you would also become subject to local sales taxes through eBay.

As your tangerine overlord says, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TARIFFS FOR US CUSTOMERS

From 29th August 2025 an import tariff of 10% will apply for goods imported from the UK. (Unless it is delayed again, who can honestly tell at this point?)

Simple enough, and it sucks, yes. Not quite as bad as the little nugget hidden further in the order:

HOWEVER - for a period of 6 months an alternate method of fees is potentially and optionally available to be levied by local (US) carriers - a flat fee of $80 per item. We do not know if this will actually be done (our electronic customs declaration should make the percentage calculation easy enough) - we just know that it can at the discretion of the carrier.

We remind you (gently) that tariffs are the responsibility of the importer (you), not us.  You would be sent a bill by USPS directly. We are not obliged to refund for items that do not have tariffs paid and are subsequently destroyed or returned to us. Should goods be returned to us in resaleable condition we would refund the purchase cost of those goods, but not any postage or other accrued costs.

With immediate effect we will be applying a higher shipping price to the US in order to ensure a fully tracked service is used for all shipments. This is NOT a prepayment of your tariff dues.

It's Friday and a new product hits our webshop and eBay.

These handy dandy deployment zone gauges for 40k or AoS from Voy Forges are printed by us in red and white ir green and white (though we can do any colours by arrangement).

Prices are £7.49 for one set and £12.99 for both, with postage at our flat large letter rates.

Available now from https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk

Illuminating! Another new product hits ebay and our webshop today, and again this is a full colour, ready to use item! What you see is exaclt what you get, no paint, no photography tricks, no bull.

This natty little barrel with lantern comes (in the uk) with an LED ball ready to light (kind of, I mean come on, it's a tiny LED) your tabletop city street or wine cellar. Priced at just £2.99 this item goes large letter so you can have it in your hands for less than a fiver! Of course our standard flat rate postage applies as ever so you only pay one lot of postage no matter how many things are in your order!

Available now from https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk and our ebay shop!

More colour stuff coming out. No paint whatsoever on any of these- these are exactly what you get when you buy!

The cottage set weighs in at a fairly hefty £32.99 and takes a considerable amount of time and waste material to print - but this set (unlike the black PLA version) now includes not only a fireplace (lit this time) but also a bed and small chest.

The noticeboard and well are also a bit more than the resin versions at £7.99 and £8.99 respectively (again this is time and material) and come fully assembled.

All these items are printed in matte PLA materials and should you wish to paint them they should not need priming- it should just be a case of jumping straight to washes and finish with a quick drybrush.

Available now on eBay and at https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk/

So we got a colour printer in. And very nice it is too. Today we've put up some nice barrels from the City of Tarok range (6 for £7.49) on eBay and https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk

These are a bit bigger than our existing generic set and the first in a lot of sets we'll be putting out in colour. Swipe through for a sneak peak of the new printed-in-colour Small Cottage set. This will include the shown bed, fireplace, small chest and a couple of LED ball lights to illuminate the fireplace and will likely be marked at about £35.

Another new set of products coming out with more stuff coming very soon-

We've rescaled the very nice Fate's End Tome boxes into a handy size for 20 12mm dice, which come included, in a suitable colour. Ideal for +x/+x counters for Magic The Gathering or anywhere else you might want to have a bunch of D6's in a spellbook style box.

These come as pictured, including the dice and fitted with magnets to hold them shut at just £12.49 from https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk with free UK postage.

The dreaded politics come to our feed once again. The US is now levying a 10% tariff on all goods from the UK.

This may already be obvious to most, but as a small business with a US customer base we have to make our position on this absolutely clear:

This is the responsibility of the buyer to pay. I presume it will be charged at point of import so this will likely mean packages being held and charged for at post offices,
likely with an additional (to the 10%) handling charge at $5.35 per dutiable item. Whether that applies to the each line item on the customs form or not I couldn't tell you.

Again, this is the responsibility of the buyer, not us.

Returns due to refusal to pay import taxes do not oblige a refund. On return of an item in this case, assuming it is not mistreated and arrives back in good condition we MAY, AT OUR DISCRETION, refund the purchase cost in full or part, but not postage. We don't get that back. We'll do what we can to help and to provide good service but we can't extend to paying your duties for you. It may be frustrating but please don't be rude to us about it. You can swear about it to us by all means but not at us.

If we see an uptick in returns or incur costs due to this we may simply stop trade to the US.

We've been making these for a long time now! And we just got featured on Auspex Tactics!

With the new release we have seen an uptick on sales of these so We thought we'd share some tips on how to get your bases adapted!

First, ours are printed to a higher standard than many other you'll see. We've also been at this longer so our quality control, reliability and customer service are all dialled right in! Check our webshop reviews and ebay feedback a accept no substitutes!

Second- filler. Bases drop into our adapters from the top, which leaves a gap. To fill this and preserve existing basing you need a filler that doesn't shrink much or at all. Pre-mixed wood filler (the brownish stuff) works really well - apply it into the gap with a coffee stirrer. Once dry you can apply a bit of the same basing method you used on the bases originally.

Third- details. Details draw the eye, so a tuft, skull or additional rock added to the base at this point really helps scramble any apparent border between new and old material.

These are available now from https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk and our ebay store. Regrettably we can no longer send to the EU. Northern Ireland seems to still be sneaking through on eBay but no telling how long that will last.

Our prints of the wound tracker from Voy Forges are available now on eBay and our webshop at https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk/

Numbered from zero to 99, these are ideal for big monster units in 40k or AoS or life tracking for Magic:The Gathering.

Just £2.99 each, these look great with a little fleshtearers red contrast in the numbers. They come pre assembled but just push fitted so if you want to take them apart to paint you can easily (just take off the sides and push the axle through to remove it).
