24.01.2022 Good morning everyone! I'm here for the next couple of days, and then Liam is taking over on the weekend for me so I can have a bit of a break! And this weekend sees the lead up to the Black Library Celebration, with the goodies all becoming available to pre-order this Saturday at 1pm, though things like the Collectors Coin are only available for spending the required $165 in store from the 27th! Keep that in mind if you're after the very cool coin. I'm here until 6.30 tonight for hobby goodness, so if you're looking to pick something up - we've had restocks on Storm Speeders, Necron Technomancers and more today - get in touch, or come on in and see me! + Rob +

24.01.2022 Good morning sports fans! The new Blood Bowl is out Friday the 27th, so if you're keen to get an order in to ensure you don't miss out, come and get one done by the end of Sunday this weekend to ensure it's here on time. Coming up for pre-order on the 28th though, we've got the new Space Marine Gladiator tanks! The turret weapons look pretty easily done for fitting magnets for easy in/out swaps so you can field the variant you want, and I expect these will become a mainstay i...n a lot of marine armies because of different variants. I know I definitely want one (or three!) in the future. In regards to in-store activity, this morning I've packed away the gaming table terrain because unfortunately, despite my best efforts, cleaning it for people to be able to use it for playing games was wrecking the paint on it. If you're wanting to play games, they'll need to be self contained games like Aeronautica, Warhammer Underworlds etc for the time being, or you'll need to bring terrain in for Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000. + Rob +

24.01.2022 Good afternoon everyone! A bit of a delayed post this fine Wednesday, because I've been busy dealing with this weeks stock delivery! We've had glorious restocks on Scarab Occult Terminators for the Thousand Sons, Seraphim Squads for Sisters of Battle and more. If you come into the store from today you'll see a few things have changed, namely we've got some awesome fins hanging off the walls that show what is in each section of the Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000 walls.... I'm here until 6.30 tonight for any hobby goodies you're chasing after. + Rob +

24.01.2022 Good morning everyone! White Dwarf 458 is upon us and it's a bumper issue full of awesome hobby goodness, and a bunch of freebies for Warcry, Necromunda, Adeptus Titanicus, Blood Bowl, Aeronautica Imperialis included, alongside an awesome poster! You'll find it on the shelves today. I'm here until 7pm tonight if you're after any hobby supplies for the weekend, or to get a cheeky Blood Bowl pre-order in! Pre-ordering gets some cool goodies in the way of cloth patches and a nea...t chip. + Rob +

23.01.2022 Greetings everyone! I'll be opening a touch later today, got some workplace training to be done - but it's the last one before Christmas, aiming to be open by 11am! If you've been thinking of doing Blood Angels or one of their numerous successor chapters, check out the link for how they are on Crusade! They look like a bunch of fun from a narrative point of view as they deal with the Flaw. Once we open we're open until 6.30 tonight!... + Rob +

23.01.2022 Sigvald is back! For a bit more info, check out the link. The doors are open and we're ready for hobby on this overcast Saturday, so if you've just started your weekend and are looking for a spot of Warhammer to do, come on in and have a look for some inspiration! The big Battleforce boxes go up for pre-order at 1pm today, they're going to go fast so if you're keen to get an order in, I suggest being here before 1pm today so you have your best chance of securing what you are ...after. And if you've been hanging out to pick up Blood Bowl this weekend, good news, I still have some sets in stock! + Rob +

23.01.2022 Good morning everyone! It's a nice Saturday today, though there's a chance of Nurgle invasion in the store today.... Because Space Marine Heroes Series 3 has come out! There are 6 models to collect, and you can either try your luck buying them one at a time, or you can just buy an entire box that will have one of every model in it. I'm here until 5pm today to assist you with the hobby, be it questions, suggestions for your army, or maybe you're just after a good book to read? I've got ideas, lots of ideas... + Rob +

22.01.2022 With a new season of Blood Bowl getting closer to kick off (and perhaps a pitch invasion at the same time), we're gonna have some sweet goodies for people who choose to get started with the new season. Have a gander at these patches and chips! I'm definitely keen on the Thunder Valley Greenskins myself...

22.01.2022 Good morning everyone! I know a few people have been asking me lately "Hey Rob, what are the battleforces this year?", and I haven't had an answer because I just didn't know! Well now we do. https://www.warhammer-community.com//warhammer-40000-batt/ and https://www.warhammer-community.com//warhammer-age-of-sig/ have the information you need about what battleforces are coming, and what's in them. Last year they weren't available in store, but when I'm able to say their ord...ering date, I'll be sure to post about it here! The 40K link also has a preview of the Blood Angels Combat Patrol box that should be with us next month for the Blood Angels supplement release. + Rob +

21.01.2022 Good morning everyone! I'm open a little bit later today due to yet another training session, but should be back open by 11am, if not a little bit earlier. The new season of Blood Bowl is almost upon us, there's loads of goodies going up for pre-order this weekend, alongside all the awesomeness for Age of Sigmar coming out with Broken Realms. Check out the link for what goes up for order this weekend!... I'm here until 6.30pm tonight for hobby goodness, so if you're coming in today, I look forward to seeing you! + Rob +

18.01.2022 Good morning everyone! It is a glorious Friday after all that rain overnight, and all that rain has done a number on some fancy technology in the store.. We have no internet! Fortunately everything else runs fine, but until it's fixed I won't be able to do in store orders for you, and I'll likely be a bit slower in replying to Facebook queries that get sent through. I'm here until 7pm tonight for hobby goodness, so if you're coming in I look forward to seeing you. + Rob +

17.01.2022 The Imperial Nobility are getting closer to storming the pitch, and it's time to have a good look at them before they are unleashed in the new season box set that's coming out soon. I'm somewhat keen for this box set, because it's got fancy humans and giant Orcs in it (and I love my giant Orcs!), and it's been revised from the ground up! I'm here until 6.30pm tonight for any hobby needs you may have, so come and have a chat to me about what you're keen on for the hobby.... + Rob +

17.01.2022 Good morning everyone! Whilst we're not in the store today, I figured I'd share this up as it may be of interest for a few people. The Battleforces are on the way this weekend with pre-orders going up at 1pm on Saturday, not to mention the Blood Angels Codex Supplement, a Blood Angels Combat Patrol, Assault Intercessors in a 10 man multipart kit AND the Space Marine Gladiator tank!! Now we aren't getting the Battleforces in store this year, so if you're after one of them, I suggest coming and ordering it as soon as possible from 1pm on Saturday, as they're likely not going to last super long this year.

15.01.2022 In fantastic news, after a long time in the wilderness, Death Guard Green and Retributor Armour spray have finally come back into stock! Which means we've now got the entire range of spray paint in store for any project you're working on. And apart from a bit of rain tomorrow and Friday, the weekend is shaping up nicely weather wise for anyone wanting to do some undercoating. + Rob +

15.01.2022 Greetings hobbyists! It's a rainy Sunday out there, not the best undercoating weather I'm afraid, but it's a fantastic day for reading and doing hobby indoors it seems. There's a cracking short story on the Warhammer Community site which I've linked, it looks like not all aelves are going along with the plans of Morathi.... I had the chance to give the new rules of Blood Bowl a run yesterday, and it's pretty solid and fun. The Black Orcs are good at one thing and one thing on...ly, and that's hurting the opposition! Haven't given the Imperial Nobility a go yet, but looking forward to trying them. If you're wanting to get started with Blood Bowl, or update your rules to the new season, come and have a chat to me today before 4pm, or see me next week from Wednesday onwards! + Rob +

13.01.2022 I'll keep this brief... It's Sunday.. We're open from 10 until 4. BUT CHECK THIS OUT!!!! SIGVALD IS BACK!!!!... Check out more from the Decadence and Decay preview here - https://www.warhammer-community.com//warhammer-preview-on/

12.01.2022 Good morning everyone, Sunday is upon us and it's a glorious day, perfect for undercoating models if you need to. There's a little bit of hobby happening in store, as I'm actually giving Logan a game of Warhammer 40,000 this morning, and who knows what else could happen this afternoon. I'm here until 4pm today before my weekend as it were, so if you need any hobby supplies come and see me before then!... + Rob +

11.01.2022 Good morning everyone! It's Sunday, which means we're here until 4pm today for any hobby goodies you may need. If you're wanting to get a pre-order in for the new edition of Blood Bowl, come and see me today. If you've been playing the previous edition already, all you'll need to get up to speed is the new rulebook, but if you're wanting to get started, the new boxset is absolutely ideal, two teams, a pitch and everything you need to play! Not to mention if you pre-order the ...new set, on release day I've got some cool patches and an awesome chip, which will be handy for deciding who wins the coin toss. + Rob +

08.01.2022 Greetings sports fans! The new season of Blood Bowl is literally a sleep away, and I've got a few copies available tomorrow from when the doors open at 10.30! If you're wanting to get a copy, I suggest getting in quick tomorrow as the Second Season boxset is now currently out of stock in the warehouse! For the people who pre-ordered, you'll be able to pick up both patches and the chip tomorrow (or when you pick up your pre-order), and for those who buy either the rulebook or ...the box set, I'll have a set of these for you as well (whilst they last!). I'm here until 6.30pm tonight for hobby goodness, so if you're looking for something to add to your army, or want to ask me some questions that are hobby related, come on in and say hello! + Rob +

07.01.2022 Good morning everyone! Here for another fantastic Saturday of hobby, with the new Hedonites of Slaanesh going up for pre-order at 1pm! If you want to guarantee you don't miss out on the excess next weekend, come on in and get your order in from 1pm today! For those who missed out on Primaris Storm Speeders last weekend, never fear, we've got more arriving in store from Wednesday, and if you've been wanting to add Bladeguard Veterans or Eradicators to your army, we've got stoc...k on the shelf as well. If you're coming in today or tomorrow, I look forward to seeing you! + Rob +

06.01.2022 Need some hobby supplies for the start of the week? I'm here until 4pm today for hobby goodness on this nice Sunday, and am ready to help out with any questions you may have! + Rob +

05.01.2022 Good morning everyone! Blood Bowl has hit the shelf, and already has had a couple of items snapped up, so if you're keen for the new season, get in fast! I'm here until 7pm tonight for anything you need ahead of the weekend, so if you're coming in to grab anything I'll see you when you're in the store. + Rob +

05.01.2022 Uriel Ventris draws nearer... Check out his rules! Me thinks there might be a few Ultramarines players happy to see this fine fellow on the tabletop. He goes up for order this Saturday at 1pm, and he'll be available to collect on the 27th of February! + Rob +
