Where I purchase the actual miniatures. Some of these stores also offer hobbying supplies, such as Wargame Portal or Element Games.
For the United States, this website offers a generous 15% MSRP for Warhammer Models
Wargame Portal
Sometimes buying direct can be best if you want to make 100% certain to get your hands on a preorder.
Games Workshop
If you're someone who prefers to 3d print, this website has a massive selection of files for hobbying.
Cults3d
Akin to Wargame Portal, this site also offers 15% off MSRP for Warhammer products.
Bazooka Games
Element Games is UK only, but is a great discount retailer offering 15% off MSRP.
Element Games
A reputable recaster, this offers you a way to get models for much cheaper than MSRP.
War Table Games
eBay is a great place to find second hand models if you're looking to save a bit of money.
eBay
This subreddit features people trading or buying other people's secondhand models that they don't want anymore. I've made plenty of deals on here and never had an issue.

The Army Painter has an awesome selection of paints. I especially like the Speedpaints.

Another fantastic selection of paints. Give it a shot and see what you think!

Amazon is a great place to get basic hobbying tools. I wouldn't recommend you buy models from here if you can get them elsewhere, however.
Amazon.com
Walmart is also a good place to get basic hobby supplies as well.

Oftentimes Etsy will have great options for terrain, bits, and sometimes STL files for 3d printing.

If you're someone who prefers to 3d print, I HIGHLY recommend ELEGOO printers.
