It may say “Warhammer” on the door, but you can tell Barrett is what brings people back. This store atmosphere was overwhelmingly warm.
Despite the rambunctious game going on Barrett sought out his customers and gave perfect advice. I’m new to the hobby (emphasis to the modeling side) and I came in with “I have bought a, b, and c and my wife is looking to buy me a birthday gift and I’m not sure what to purchase next.”

Let's just say if I ever decide to dive into this hobby I definitely know where to go to get the most knowledge on how to get started. Seems like an excellent source for...

I love coming here to do some hobbying and playing a game or two. It is a welcome break from the solitude that it generally affords.
If you're happening upon this page without knowing what warhammer is, it isn't quite a toy store. The hobby revolves around plastic miniatures that you assemble and paint, which are themselves pieces of a number of games to choose from. Some are large scale war games, some small squad skirmish games, and both of these styles have futuristic and fantasy games involved. There's also one focused on The Lord of the Rings, and a football one, all be it a quite silly version of football.
If you're looking for something new to do, or something to do with friends, I would highly...
