Warhead Hobbies — Local services in Alton

One of the best gaming stores I’ve ever been to! Extremely helpful and friendly staff that are always willing to share tips and tricks for painting and various aspects of the hobby. They have gorgeous tables and terrain to play on as well. From 40K to battle tech and even dungeons and dragons, they’ve got a lot going on! Always a great atmosphere and a fun time, everyone I’ve met that frequents the store is very nice and are a lot of fun to play and interact with. They also have a great membership plan! Access to 3D printers, air brushes and an incredibly wide variety of paints and painting accessories available to members. If you’re local to the 618 area I can’t recommend a better venue to game and play with friends or just come up to paint...

Friendly group of folks working to make a welcoming space where people can come and learn, paint, and generally nerd out about tabletop games. Seriously good painters as well and are happy to help teach newcomers! They have a monthly subscription plan that includes access to their paints and a monthly allotment of 3D printing services. Although relatively focused on skirmish/war games, they are happy to host TTRPG groups and make the space feel welcoming and accessible. Only complaint is that I wish I could make it out...

Great gaming store. The staff are really nice and are more than happy to help new and experienced hobbyists learn new painting techniques and help people improve their gaming skills. The tables are really nice and have beautiful terrain and the membership is a great deal. Very positive atmosphere to play a game or work on...
