First time in a Warhammer store and wont be my last. David took a lot of time talking with my girlfriend and I going over the hobby with different ways to enjoy it. Look forward to returning once I finish some models for painting lessons.

Really clean and well kept store. David was very helpful and made my couple visits enjoyable and memorable. He suggested great reads and provided good information for a beginner getting into the hobby. Definitely will be making more visits to this store.

Great place for an introduction to Warhammer. Definitely has the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable people. First party so prices are always MSRP, a bit higher than secondary market. But easily one of the best places for a new release and excellent customer service.

Stopped by today with my boyfriend (his hobby). David was very personable and well versed in the world of Warhammer. He made me feel included and now I’m excited to come learn a little more about the gameplay, the factions and learn to paint models. Thanks David!

Amazing store with great service. Lots of knowledge of the subject. Be aware the model kits are pricey, however lots of extra rewards after purchase. Awesome place!

Where do I even begin? After being gone from the hobby for years I decided to give it a shot again and stopped by the closest store to my home. What I thought would be a simple walk in and walk out transaction turned to something you don’t ever receive in any retail store. I was greeted by David who not only took the time to explain the differences of how paint works as opposed to how it worked in the past, to how much the hobby has changed. David made my experience so wholesome and informative that I will continue to come to this store in the future. I walked in as a stranger and David made me feel like family when I walked out . For anyone new to the hobby, trying to start it up again or just curious what’s in the store I highly recommend going in because you will not be disappointed by what you find nor the service you’re greeted with!

David is incredibly knowledgeable, incredibly nice, and just overall a joy to work with. Its nice to be able to support the local economy instead of just placing an order online. David is the first one I go to if I ever have a question about Warhammer or age of sigmar.

Great for table-top war gamers. The management takes time with customers who are new to the genre and specifically with the Warhammer Games. They offer instructions in not just playing, but building, painting and assembling ones army. They offer not just a place to learn and play the game, but local, national and international tournaments.

Fantastic hobby for young and old alike. Combines model building and painting with video game-like play. Ive been to a few Warhammer/Games Workshop locations, and this one hold up their high standards. They not only have all the materials you need to get started, but will take the time to give you a free painting lesson and patiently answer any questions you might have.My son had a model that didnt come out quite right, so they owner showed him how to rescue it from the garbage with the use of an epoxy like modeling computers and some details sculpting tools. Also gave him a lot of tips for painting.Then, I asked if he could show us the mechanics of they game play and how to get stated. He took the time to give us a tutorial and familiarize us (mostly me) with how the systemworked, and how each model has different abilities and strengths. I must say, the Warhammer Game isnt that difficult to learn, and the extensibility with different characters and forces makes it a combination of Risk and Magic: The Gathering. Plus collecting and painting the models is just good old fashioned fun!The prices are a bit high, but not really when completed to video games There is a premium, but that price comes with seemingly endless patience to explain how to paint and play, and the opportunity to return for painting help and game play on their expansive game boards.Highly recommended as a fun activity for kids, families and an alternative to electronics and video games.

After recently moving to the area, my young son and I got the chance to come in this past week. He’s loved this hobby for years and building, painting, and playing with him will be one of the father-son memories I’ll cherish forever. When we walked in, his eyes lit up. A bit of time and several hundreds of dollars later, we locked down both birthday and Christmas presents this year.The passion and knowledge of both David and Tyler was really evident. They answered all our questions patiently and talked with us the entire time about the hobby.This isn’t a hobby shop with a Warhammer section tacked on. This is a dedicated shop with true experts running the place. It’s an amazing place and we’ll certainly be back soon.

First time in the store, we met Marty who was extremely knowledgeable, patient, friendly and accommodating in explaining many aspects of Warhammer to our family. We have a young son and daughter, and he took the time to explain painting techniques and let them paint their own figures. He also addressed all four of us by our first names which we truly appreciate in todays retail atmosphere. Wonderful experience. We will be returning. Thanks for all the help, Marty!

If you can make it to this store and you like 40k, you owe it to yourself to come here at least once. Im relatively new to the hobby and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I had a great time talking shop about gaming and painting and two experienced players were more than willing to walk me through as I played one of my first games with them. Great community of people. Just go.

Review №22

I know very little of the game system, but wanted to learn more. So i stopped in and was welcomed. Taylor, who was taking care of me was answering all of my questions and Im sure I asked some dumb ones. Additionally, there were customers in there, who also answered questions or provided other options. To me, it seems that the WH-Glenview community is friendly and willing to help newbies, like myself.

The manager is very friendly and knowledgeable in both the hobby of miniatures/modeling as well as the Warhammer games and their fiction. I got a limited edition Space Marine miniature here when Gamesworkshop opened their 100th store as well as a few other 40k kits. They have a good selection and cool game tables.
