Games Workshop

Ever since I have returned back to playing Warhammer 40K, this store has been one of my favorite places to visit on my way home from work and on Saturdays. Drew is the one reason I keep returning. His love and enthusiasm for this hobby shows when you talk to him which in turn gets you excited to play. If you are thinking of getting into the hobby, swing by and talk to Drew. You won’t be disappointed.

This is a great location!

Drew runs an awesome shop. If you’ve never heard of Warhammer, stop in and get a run down. It’s a huge, rich universe that’s been growing for the last 30 years, and the game is incredibly engrossing and the miniatures are amazing.

I’m back. There’s been a changing of the guard at this store, Juan who previously ran this games workshop left, but never fear the new store manager is a great guy. I haven’t been into the store like I used to frequent due to personal issues. But, recently, a few times I’ve had to step into the store to purchase glue, and return a fumbled order from Memphis.
To me, every GW store is about the person behind the counter. And all I can say is the new manager is great! I’d like to get to know him and have a demo game of 40k soon, as soon as I have enough models painted. The store hasn’t changed too much in aesthetic value, everything is still where it is except a few tables. I’m thankful to have a GW store near me. So, if you’re new to the game or returning from hiatus, visit this store if it’s near you. Drew, the new manager is awesome. Very helpful and courteous.

Absolutely fantastic.
I’m a returning player, and haven’t picked up the game in roughly 4 years. The staff, ‘Drew’ ran me through loads of tutorials, and offered very helpful information that not only makes me rethink army designs, but also gets me exciting for picking up this hobby again.
The location is in a small shopping center, and the store is well organized while also having some cool decorations. Parking is not a problem either.
The store and staff is the perfect place to also recommend friends who may have not been too familiar with Warhammer as well. I played a round with a friend at home, and soon enough, he visited the store and ‘Drew’ got him really excited to play the game with me!
I’ve seen people come in and out painting models, talking strategies, and playing games too. So it’s a very friendly environment to just come check things out.

I stopped in here while my girlfriend was at the tailor next door. If you are into Warhammer, this is the place for you. I’ve never played, but enjoyed watching the guys there play. Everyone (employees and players) seemed really friendly, even to a complete noob stranger like me.
If I ever decide to get into warhammer, I know exactly where I’m coming first

Edited for new management/​employee change (Drew). Not bad! Obviously being a GW store, the prices are going to be the same anywhere. I have to stress that I live only minutes from this shop, which makes it ideal for deciding off the bat to start a quick game; and even better for direct ordering an item, which makes it superb for picking up items I’ve ordered. A HUGE plus for me. Since it’s only a few minutes away, I was pleasantly surprised to run into others I knew from the LA Bunker, making the local GW here in Tustin a better experience. Ever since Drew, the current operator of the Larwin store, got there, he’s treated my brother and I (as well as customers, regulars, and strangers) with respect and a general cool demeanor. I find many Games Workshops make the mistake of treating customers only like customers, but not here! Drew knows that we’re veterans of the game (s), and doesn’t try to up-​sell anything we aren’t looking for, or interested in. When we’re looking to hang out there/​play, he’s happy to have us chill, chat, and play. If we’re just popping in for a quick paint pot or something, there’s no stress on worrying about what to buy. He’s good at offering advice and suggestions that suit your needs, rather than what previous managers would have done. Example: previously I’d hear «You want a Predator tank? Well, why not buy a Land Raider and two squads of Terminators?» — but now with Drew in charge, you’d expect something like this «Oh, you want a pack of Raptors? If you think it’ll fit your army right, that’s cool. Thought much about Warp Talons?»
In short, the new management considers you as a player and person, rather than as just a customer. And it’s very refreshing.
