Anybody familiar with Workshop Games?
1 just opened up within walking distance of me. I plan on checking it out this weekend.

Games Workshop
- Thread starter Monkeywrench

My handle derives from a bionic Spiderman/Predator hunter form a Warhammer 40,000 spinoff game called Necromunda (that setting is a strange mix of cyberpunk, the old west, Judge Dredd, and a whole let of awesome!).
I used to buy paints and figurines from them, but their prices are really insane!

I enjoy going to the one out in town, the guy who runs it is a cool guy. Small store, though.
Anyway, as mentioned above, the paints are great and I fully recommend them, but the prices are freaking insane for what you're paying for- the online store just went up to $4 a pot. I'm hoping it's still cheaper in-store, I needed to grab some new shades and more primer.
I got some when I bought a starter miniature set, it doesn't cover up any details, if that's your concern.

I love the stores. Some are small and just have a small table for demo games and demo painting, others are larger like the one about 30 mins from me and have full size game tables, the one by me has bout 8 8 feet tables with terrain and buidings and all that. It's a miniature gamers wet dream.
We went to the grand opening of the one in the mall in the next town over and they had game and paint demos and my son got to paint up a space marine looking guy. I won a small pack of soldiers as a door prize which I plan on using as BSG miniature customs.
Careful with some of the stuff they sell though. Some of it is overpriced. small slab of greenstuff for $8 when you can get a whole roll online... but I guess it depends on how quick you need it and how much.
I love their primer paints. They're a tad on the thick side, but still, use a coat of primer flesh and then your regular flesh and it makes a huge difference.

Their whites and yellows stick really well in a single coat, as I understand. Haven't gotten around to using them, personally. But their Kantor Blue is a dead ringer for the shade used on PoC Cobra Troopers, which I love.
