Games Workshop Halifax

Nerds… assemble! The Games Workshop is where you’re meant to be. I mean this with a lot of love and respect. Seeing as I am a huge fan of JRPG’s and the Lord of the Rings movies, I think I know what’s best for nerds. And trust me, The Games Workshop is best for nerds.
I never made the transition from Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy to painting miniature figurines and commanding imaginary armies it the back rooms of hobby shops, but I think I understand the appeal. It offers a ridiculous escape, and Games Workshop is eager to help and foster that fantasy for you. The staff is very helpful and incredibly knowledgeable about the various products they sell and they talk about the games with such a passion that you’d have no soul if you weren’t even the least bit intrigued.
Starter Kits for the various games are expensive, but when you breakdown the cost against the hours of entertainment you’re going to have I would say that the price is fair.
Obviously this kind of thing is not for everybody, but for those who have an interest in sci fi/​fantasy or in epic board games such as Risk it is certainly worth a look. You may find a great new hobby!

Games Workshop is a very unique store. It sells kits (the one in the picture is priced at $ 90.00) of different armies, such as Lord of the Rings, Armageddon, the list is huge.
You get to go in and paint your own men, they hold tournaments to play against others. There is a back room set up with large tables where the events are held.
There is a weekly calender of events posted in the store (picture).
If you want to engage in strategy games, this is the place to go. The staff referred to it as sort of a Chess game, but with huge armies.
Overall I was impressed with the store and the staff were great, Stan is who I spoke with.
I know 90.00 sounds like a lot for a started kit, but the average video game runs 70.00.
