The demise of the old school hobby shops has left a void that's hard to fill. Some of Ann Arbor's…read moreold shops doubled as toy stores (used to be a good one for lead and pre painted miniatures at the old Arbor Land Mall), Kay-B Hobbies at Briarwood was good for models and basic paint supplies as well as a decent selection of Avalon Hill boardgames. Even Meijer Thrifty Acres wasn't half bad in the hobby division. The best all around though was Ryder's on W. Liberty St. They had it all: Trains, D & D, board games, miniatures, motorized cars and planes, etc... By the second decade of the 2000s these were defunct options, so it was great accidentally stumbling across Warhammer in the Lamp Post Plaza where Trader Joe's can also be found. A few years ago there was a vitamin store of sorts here but apparently they're long gone. Anyhow, I was dying to go in and see what they had. Upon entering the host greeted us, perhaps a bit too peppy, but a nice guy nevertheless. The store was packed with all things Warhammer, which is a longstanding miniatures war game where beautifully painted armies of miniatures are maneuvered into combat where ultimately the luck of a die roll determines the stated up front outcome. Sample dialogue overheard: "I'm going to shoot him in the face with my pistol", then the die roll followed.... a miss. So basically it's a male geek's club 99.9% of the time. Lucky for me I have a geeky gf and she was just as interested in checking out the stock and displays as I was. They even had a table where people can paint their newly acquired figures-- Citadel Paints and brushes, as well as that brand's outstanding tools were accessible. I doubt that option is free since the average price for one color paint pod is $4+, nevertheless, I wager it's worth every penny for someone unable to shoulder the high cost of the hobby. All-in-all, we left with a couple of miniatures, a paint brush-water holder and an expandable figure base holder to facilitate steady detailing.

It was closed today but it looked nice inside. Open tables, paints and terrain. Great for a…read moreWarhammer gamer.
