Warhammer — Local services in Webster

I recently got into the hobby. I drove to another location, but on my way home I came to this location where I was greeted by a closed store. However, the manager, Cash, unlocked the door and allowed my girlfriend and I inside where we spent an hour and a half to two hours talking and discussing. Cash was very friendly, revealing he took over the store two weeks prior. He was inviting and warm, and most of all he was informative and not pushy. He even corrected some errors that the worker at the Royal Oaks location made, and rectified it. He gave me free stuff and invited me to come back to learn how to paint and even invited me to play other games other than 40k. I will for sure be returning soon, making this my main go to for paint and models. I’ve always been intimidated by Warhammer 40k and the community, but this interaction has since changed my...

I am new to "Warhammer" and miniatures in general. My husband is a big fan and wanted to try to get me into the hobby. When we entered the store we were completely ignored by the two staff members inside. One was unpacking things and the other at the counter was on her iPad reading something the entire time. Walking into the store I was very intimidated because I know nothing about the hobby and was very overwhelmed by all the various miniatures. I felt completely unwelcome in the store and like they wanted us to leave. I read online that if I'm new to the hobby the employees will introduce me to it and help me find something that interests me. My husband said this is very unusual for "Warhammer" stores and they are usually very welcoming to newcomers. I will probably get into "Bolt-Action"...

Shane behind the counter was super nice and welcoming, as were the people at the tables (playing Kill Team). They explained the rules, offered to let me join in for a game, talked to me about how to build armies and generally get into the hobby, and had fun while doing so. Everyone was more welcoming than I could ever have expected. Plus the shop is clean and well organized. Don’t let the minimalist signage outside scare you away—if you like tabletop wargaming and miniatures and such, OR IF YOU JUST THINK YOU MIGHT BUT AREN’T SURE, you owe it to yourself to come pay Shane and the other patrons a visit. Tell them where you are (if you are at all) in the hobby and they’ll talk to you about what you might like, all with ZERO pressure to buy anything. Highly highly...
