EnglishWhat is Bits & Kits (bitsandkits.co.uk)?
Updated
Bits & Kits is an online store specialising in Warhammer bits, kits and spares — individual components and full kits for Games Workshop games including Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar, Bloodbowl, Horus Heresy and The Old World. It is aimed at hobbyists who need a specific part, a replacement component or a complete kit rather than a general hobby retailer, and it ships worldwide according to its own site description.
What the site sells
The shop is organised around Games Workshop product lines and factions. Its category structure shows the range is built from unit-level and kit-level entries rather than broad product buckets, which is what you would expect from a bits and spares specialist.
| Area | Examples from the site's categories |
|---|---|
| Bases | Listed as a top-level category |
| Bloodbowl | Listed as a top-level category |
| Horus Heresy | Listed as a top-level category |
| The Old World | Grand Cathay, Orc and Goblin Tribes, The Dwarven Mountain Holds, The Empire of Men, High Elf Realms, Kingdom of Bretonnia, Wood Elf Realms, Tomb Kings of Khemri, Warriors of Chaos |
| The Old World core | Core set, kits and books |
Within The Old World, categories go down to individual units and characters — for example Cathay Gate Masters, Empire Steam Tank, High Elf Phoenix Guard, Tomb King Necrolith Bone Dragon, and multiple Warriors of Chaos entries. That granularity is the point of a bits store: you can look for a single unit, a command sprue or a specific component rather than only a sealed box.
Who it is for
- Kitbash and conversion hobbyists who need one or two components instead of a whole box.
- Players replacing a damaged or missing part from a model they already own.
- Collectors filling gaps in an army or faction range, including older or specialist lines such as Bloodbowl and Horus Heresy.
- Overseas buyers, since the site states worldwide postage.
If you only ever buy sealed boxes at your local store, a bits specialist offers less advantage. If you regularly need single sprues or parts, the unit-level category structure is the main reason to use it.
How to start using it
- Browse by category. Use the category list to narrow down to a game system and then a faction or unit. The site's navigation is built around these categories rather than a single search-first layout.
- Check the specific entry. Because listings are unit- and kit-level, confirm the entry matches the part or kit you actually need before ordering.
- Create an account or log in. The site provides Login / Create an Account, and also offers a newsletter sign-up.
- Review the information pages. Terms & Conditions and Information & Shipping are linked in the site navigation — read the shipping page before ordering, especially if you are outside the UK.
- Place your order. The site describes itself as order-online with worldwide postage.
Practical points to check before buying
- Shipping terms and cost are not stated in the material available here beyond "worldwide postage" — confirm them on the Information & Shipping page for your destination.
- Stock and availability of individual bits can vary, since spares depend on what has been broken down from kits.
- Compatibility matters more with bits than with sealed kits: a component may belong to a specific kit or edition, so match the unit name carefully.
- Account vs guest checkout is not specified in the available information; the site shows login and account creation, so assume you may need an account.
In short, Bits & Kits is a niche supplier for Games Workshop hobbyists who want parts, sprues and kits across 40K, Age of Sigmar, Bloodbowl, Horus Heresy and The Old World, with worldwide shipping. It is most useful when you know the exact unit or component you are after.
