Warhammer — Local services in Austin

Recently got back into wargaming and discovered Games Workshop opened a store in Brodie Oaks Shopping Center. The store itself is a bit smaller than an average comic store, but none the less carries just about everything GW sells (including The Hobbit stuff). Your item not there? Its easy enough to order from the in-store system and have it delivered. There are only a couple of tables to game on; one more geared for WH Fantasy, one for WH 40K and one table dedicated to demo GW starter products - WH40K Dark Vengeance - WH Island of Blood - The Hobbit: Escape from Goblin Town. A couple of small tables are set aside so folks can do some assembly and painting if they'd like. Now all this makes for a "good" wargaming store, but there's one thing that makes THIS GW store great - the staff. Upon entry you'll be greeted by Collin whom you'll recognize 'ain't from round heer.' Collin's wealth of knowledge about the products, painting, assembling/converting, game-play and rules is incredible. Playing since he was a youngster, Collin's experience shines when others with great interest in the hobby come with questions or game-world fiction. This store also keeps it fresh with a calendar of events. Stop by this store to start a new hobby or rekindle...

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic currently still impacting the nation and the world, Warhammer has been forced to close off public access to the store's interior for the past several months; however, you can call the store to make inquiries about their current inventory, and you may place orders using this method, which you then merely pick up curbside.

Honestly the best thing about this store is Cullen: every time you call the store, a man with an unwaveringly cheery voice and slight, endearing Scottish accent answers. Cullen is not only kind, helpful, and incredibly patient, he is also extremely knowledgeable concerning the items stocked in store and the games themselves. He has given numerous suggestions, both solicited and otherwise, that have never failed to be incredibly helpful.

I'm very eager for the store to be open once again, but until that time, give Cullen a call. I'm sure he gets lonesome in...

Drove in from out of town to check it out. 1 customer allowed at a time. I can handle that...waited outside. We are all adjusting with this virus, so I get it. But got in and couldn't look around? Could only stand in the 6x6 square by the door. Literally, only person in the store, no one outside waiting, drove in, and couldn't browse a little. Implement a rule about no touching items, or limit the browse time...but goodness. What's the use in a brick and mortar if you can't shop? Go online and find what you want then come in was the suggestion...that's called Amazon. It's not the browse brick & mortar experience I drove in for. This adjustment...
