Games Workshop

Small update, Noah was great to work with, ended up spending $ 500 on a great set, very happy with the whole experience. We will be back to spend our cash.

This is a great location. The store is a bit small but makes up for it with its managements. The store manager is a great guy. Very knowledgable and will take time to come over from what he’s doing to help you out in painting or in your game. It was a bit of a drive for me considering I came all the way from Sunnyvale cause the other location in San Jose closed down. But def will be making the trek to this location at least on the weekends. Def would recommend any person to come and and see what this place is about or even any returning GW players to come check this store out :)

A games workshop store with lots of playing space/​tables to get ur game on! Fairly organized and clean.
Closest store to Dublin ever since the Stoneridge store closed; traffic to and from store sucks, but that’s 880 for u, and it’s hours aren’t the greatest but that’s not such a big deal.

Uh-huuhhh…unlike «Miss» C-U-Next-Tuesday’s review down on the list below, I’m going to give this store a good review.
I also accompanied my gentleman friend to this store. I also do not, myself, care for the models and games. I’ve accidentally called it «WarBattle 5000» too many times to count. He doesn’t even bother to correct me now.
But the staff at this store are all very nice & helpful, so I’m told. And they will show you a whole range of price points if you’re a gamer on a budget.
Five stars to Union Landing Games Workshop, and stop trying to make «fetch» happen, Gretchen. It’s never going to happen.

Robin knows his stuff, immerses himself in it, and it shows. Only things that SUCKS is GW is pricey, but that’s a standard. Stupid expensive hobbies.

Robin, the gentleman behind the counter, was very knowledgeable, very helpful, and was so enthusiastic. My boyfriend and I are thinking about taking up a new hobby and Robin for sure helped us make up our minds!

I go to this store frequently. Robin is always helpful, polite, friendly, and always get a laugh out of me. There is almost always someone painting, modeling, or playing. The selection of Fanasty Warhammer models is great. I just wish the seats were more comfortable.

Am I too fetch to write this review? Umm yeah.
Games Workshop is nothing new. The type of place, you’ll find misfits who enjoy hoarding/​painting minatures. My b/​f and I went in here after eating at Gerry’s Grill. I went in there, the employee approached me and asked me if I wanted to know more about the stuff. I said, «not really». I enjoy looking at the art in the Warhammer 40k books, but would I spend my money on this stuff? HELL NO.
The people there are nice. It reminds me of the crowd at Berkeley Eudomonia. These people are lifelong geeks, high school students, etc who are looking for an escape.
But I went in here on a lark and have no desire to spend my money on this stuff.

These guys are great! I like this location better than the others since there is so much more space!
Pros
— great service & very helpful (Daniel & Greg?)
— Plenty of room for playing
Cons
— hard to find.
Return visit
yes

Once every few years, I get the itch to ‘get my geek on’. Recently a new Games Workshop opened up in the area and I’ve always wanted to get into Warhammer 40k. I bounced in and out of the store a few times, and combined with some online reading, I decided to jump in. I’ve played similar games competitively and knew what I was getting into.
Re: the store, the size compared to a mall store is great with enough room to cater to the different elements of GW gaming (3 tables for playing, a modeling/​painting station, and of course all the merchandise). I’m a fan of the GW mall stores too, but at times it gets crowded. Union City DOES NOT have this problem.
Re: staff /​community, I only know of two people working here (Greg and Daniel), but both are great and know their stuff. For me, its the little bits of info you gain by talking to them (i.e. best way to x, rules clarifications, etc) that are the most valuable and these guys have a lot of insight. Also, they’re constantly encouraging activity with anyone who walks in. Whether you’re into the playing side of things or the modeling/​painting, there are various in-​store sessions you can sign up. Unfortunately for me, work and kids prevent me to commit to a regular time, but when I get a free 1 – 2 hour window (i.e. kids sleeping, wife takes kids shopping, no extra work, etc), I feel comfortable just walking in and hanging out (painting, learning, etc). There are a hand full of ‘regulars’ too, all of which are friendly and are very knowledgeable — I currently can’t hang with the level of strategy/​tactical discussions yet, because I’m still new, but will get there soon.
Re: events — I’ve yet to go to one of these, but there is a regular calendar filled with events and imagine it would be a lot of fun.
I just wish the store was open later for late night play groups, but that’s more my issue then theirs… In all, I’ll probably end up being one of the regulars (pending time).
