Staff couldn't have been more helpful! Completely new to warhammer and thought I'd have a look into the store to see what I thought and found a welcoming and friendly group of people who were keen to help me. I was given a free model to try painting and some encouragement which was great. Staff were truly a credit to the store and warhammer as a whole.

I started the hobby about 6 months ago so I pop in every now and then to buy paints and minis. The staff are always so friendly and chill and know a ton about the painting and playing side of the hobby. One of them offered to demo a Blood Bowl game for me. I think it’s a great place to go if you wanna get sucked into Warhammer because I always end up leaving with more than what I came for.

Disappointed, as a hobbyist from Australia. I visited this store to check the vibe while on holiday.
The staff member on barely gave any effort to connect after I initiated conversation. This didn’t give me a good community vibe.
Store seems fine if you just want to buy your hobby equipment.

I had never really known what Warhammer was before entering the store but suddenly I found myself purchasing and painting miniatures... I still haven't figured out the game but the figures were too beautiful to pass up. :)
