My partner is starting his Warhammer journey, so we stopped by to check out the store and cafe. All I can say is "Wow!" I've walked by and never even noticed this place, but I encourage you to enter. The store offers players pieces to paint and play in house, other related material to review, and a historical review of Warhammer. War game setups to play, which, by the way, are artistically set up so awesomely! I would have taken more pictures and videos, but it was busy, and the majority of the game stations were taken up by players. I, on the other hand, enjoyed that they had a cafe as well. I believe their coffee machine is down or something. So I opted for their "Blood for the Blood God" tea it's not too sweet and pretty refreshing for a hot, humid day. We waited to eat our cinnamon roll at home. After heating it up a bit, I enjoyed the sweet treat. It was a tad bit dry, but it was eaten. If you're a fan or just walking by, stop and check it out. You may be surprised by a hobby you never knew could pique your interest! read more

I came in with my 3 sons and a super friendly employee set them up to each paint a figurine and keep it for free. They then got to play with their new figurines on the very elaborate game tables (which I have seen very packed on weekends but which were mostly open on a Wednesday afternoon). I have no idea how the game works but the detailed figurines and buildings are very cool to look at and my kids loved exploring the tables. The cafe looks like a standard local coffee shop with a nice mix of coffees and pastries. Definitely a fun place to stop into and check out. read more

Took my son over. I have to say, it was a great experience. If you are into Warhammer you need to go. All kinds of kits for building your own models. A rather large area to bring your own armies and play against others. The staff is very helpful and engaging if you have questions about any products or Warhammer in general. Highly recommend the Citadel to anyone looking to get more involved with Warhammer. read more

AMAZING!!! This place is super cool for veteran and new players. Staff is friendly and drinks are well priced. Tons of merchandise to choose from and free lesson and goodies for you. I recommend this place to anyone! Will come again for sure read more

I stopped in here with my brother because this game and miniature painting is his jam. While I don't play Warhammer, I do make my own miniatures (think dollhouse scale) and have actually used some of their washes before, so it was fun to talk with him about the different paints. Staff were welcoming but let us do our own thing. This is a very big flagship store, as opposed to the one I had been to, with a large game room and cafe in back. If you're into Warhammer and in this area, definitely worth checking out. read more

If you are a fan of Warhammer games and books you must make a pilgrimage to the nation's flagship store here in the historic downtown of Grapevine. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Tray was superb in guiding me through painting a Stormcaster figurine as well as learning how to play through a battle on Ghur within the lore of Age of Sigmar. Tray's knowledge of gameplay and lore was incredible and his presentation was immersive and entertaining. I've been daunted by the richness of the Warhammer universe, so Tray's diligence and patience to teach me the building blocks was perfect for a beginner. I can't wait to enjoy playing some combat on their tables in the second room where they also have a bar/cafe. This shop and space for games is a must for the community of Warhammer. They have an excellent variety of figurine sets, paints, and books. I will be back to enjoy some more fun! read more

Been to this place twice: I'm a big warhammer fan as well as a coffee fan. The staff is extremely friendly, as well as super helpful. The coffee is surprisingly good. This place also has the highest selection of Games Workshop products out of the dozen or so hobby stores I've been to. Definitely a necessity for any warhammer hobbyist and a worthy footnote for coffee fans They do have some furniture for sale, I bought an armchair, and they were extremely helpful when it came to helping get it into my car. I didn't catch the staff member who helped me's name, but he's totally awesome. read more

Warhammer Citadel - Warlord Titan on display - Tabletop Games Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Located in the quaint historic Grapevine downtown, it's just under 5 miles from DFW airport (good for layovers, eh?) and is currently the only flagship store in the US. There's the retail portion of the store, cafe, and gaming center for activities (though roped off for COVID). It's also conveniently located next to the Grapevine Convention Center if the events get too large to be held in-store. The staff are very nice, helpful, and make great drinks! I really appreciate that the drinks are reasonably priced too. You can really tell that the staff love the world of Warhammer and are delighted to share their passion with others just coming into the hobby or are already devoted fans. Other than stocking most everything Warhammer-related, there are also some exclusives and merch that just happened to only be available at this store like autographed limited first-edition books, Christmas sweaters, pins. Looks like the inventory changes quite frequently so there's regularly something new to look at with each visit. Love that they take COVID precautions seriously here; you're supposed to put whatever you touch on the center tables to be disinfected. Recommend calling ahead if you're looking to see if they have some hot item in stock as they do go quick. Also as a side note, I was imagining something massive for being the largest Warhammer store and the flagship location in the US, but it's not that big actually. Just temper your expectations - it's jampacked with lots of goodies. read more

All of the workers were really nice and helpful, the 40k decor was really cool, and the café muffin and hot chocolate were good. I really like the place and I'll probably go again sometime. read more

My son is a huge Warhammer fan and on our road trip we stopped here. He was super excited and we stayed for about 3 hours. He learned some tips for painting, found out about new products coming out, exclusive items only sold at their store, had a drink from their cafe, watched a game being played in the back (with the help from an employee walking him over and introducing him), and learned about forge world - more of a collectible/specialty line of game pieces. I highly recommend that if you're in the area you stop by. Staff went over and beyond to help out my 12 year old and make sure he thoroughly enjoyed this stop of our trip that he was really looking forward to visiting. read more

Warhammer Citadel - Back Area/Cafe - Tabletop Games Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

This store is the US hub for Games Workshop. There is a really huge selection of minis, accessories, and paints. With some advanced notice, we were able to meet with staff and learn how to play our first game of Warhammer. Everyone is both friendly and knowledgeable. They are clearly fans as well as employees. Great place to shop or just hang out with Warhammer people. read more

Stopped by here while on our trip from out of town because the husband is obsessed with Warhammer. I really enjoyed the cafe area! I'm a vegan so I was interested to know if they had nondairy milks and they do! The nice lady at the counter showed me they have about four nondairy milks for coffees and teas! I got a delicious iced peach green tea. Will definitely look to come back when we visit again from San Antonio! read more

This store is an amazing experience, and I have plenty to say towards it in that endeavor. I jumped into the Citadel about a month ago to buy my fiance a mini for D&D; I knew nothing about the hobby outside of its tabletop nature and the store was more a means to an end. Efrain explained to me about the hobby, and his patience and willingness to answer questions left me with a positive experience that has kept me coming back time and again, feeling completely invited to do so. I really blame the staff for my continued excitement coming in; Caitlyn is knowledgeable, bubbly, and makes excellent drinks. Efrain really knows how to get you into the lore and is absolutely patient through suggestions and paint-tip sharing alike. My first day in for painting, he sat in and checked up on me for nearly two hours to make sure I was getting things right, which has kept me going as I grow in this hobby. The other employees are equally fantastic, and lead by one of the most personable store managers I've ever met in Mic. My fiance and I have easily spent upwards of 1000 dollars on the hobby in the month we've begun, not only for their excellent service or heavenly drinks (which can bring customers in easily on its own merit), but also for the amazing atmosphere. Beautifully displaced pieces of the universe and product dot the walls and make you feel alive with the lore, and the regulars are keen and open to welcome new players, something I feel is hard to find in new hobbies at the level they present. I came in for the Vigilus narrative they've been setting up, and rather than a competitive rules lawyering, I see kind and polite people excitedly working to advance the lore of a universe they are actively building. Please, please, if you are at all piqued, interested, or enthused about this little slice of nerd heaven on Main, go in and visit. Chances are, you'll make the beginning in a story that they are only too happy to help you live to its fullest. read more

Tabletop gamers beware! You wont leave if you come in here :). I'm going there right now to look at things, I'll probably buy something too. If you need warhammer stuff always come here and put the shipment in through the store. You will get it much quicker if you time it right. Also staff is very helpful and engaged. I mean noone really works here who isnt a fan. So if you're a fan you are in good company. read more

I absolutely feel fortunate to live so close to such a phenomenal shop like this. This is one of Game Workshop's flagship locations, and it shows. This is a perfect location to visit if you're shopping for a gift for your Warhammer nerd significant other, because the staff here is as friendly as they are helpful. They have one of the largest selections of Games Workshop miniatures and paints of any shop in the country, and anything they don't happen have on hand can be ordered in. The staff's intimate knowledge of their games should help you in making a gift decision in a way no Amazon webpage ever could. read more

Given that I am from out of town, I can say that this is The best warhammer store in North America. I got to meet the staff and everyone seem genuine about the hobby. While I love my warhammer stores back in California, I can say that the store layout and addition options it offers completely change the shopping experience. With plenty of space and well designed product to demo ratio, I feel like I want to more product. This store gives me the space to breath and take in all that game workshop has to offer without feeling cramped like some of their other stores. While GW/warhammer stores have a distinct disadvantage over FLG and internet market sales, due to pricing, the atmosphere and play area this store is able to provide, allows me the customer to ignore that draw back. I hope future stores follow this layout as if nurtures great hobby Mecca for warhammer beginners and enthusiasts alike. read more

This review is for the Moms out there. Visited Warhammer Citadel during our first visit to explore downtown Grapevine and left very impressed. I'll admit I'm not personally a role playing game kind of person, but as a boy-mom to 12 and 13 yo boys, I figured this might be a kind of place they - and my husband - may like so I circled it on the list of shops to visit (along with plenty of my winery, kitchen and home decor stores!) It was very cool. I don't understand this whole world, but I can tell it's definitely a thing. The back half of their building is dedicated to playing the game - they have tables and a snack bar set up. We didn't spend time back there, but it seemed like people were having fun. The front room was part store, part hang out area, lots of cool displays and this interactive area that they welcome people of (apparently) all levels of experience to check out the creating and playing aspects. Here's where I want to really praise this store. The staff really embraced our two kids and spent at least 20 mins with them teaching them how to paint figures and then showing them the basics of playing the game. I got the impression this is how they treat all their first timers that show interest. We ended up leaving with two budding Warhammer fans and a bag of starter figures, magazines and paints. I can't say for certain the hobby will take hold, but if it does, we will certainly be back. Either way, it was a fun half hour during our Grapevine historical downtown experience. read more

I live in Los Angeles now, but this place will be one of the first I visit. It's just so much fun and the staff is SUPER passionate about the brand. Love! read more

I have been visiting Warhammer stores since the first stores appeared in Illinois in the United States. However these new Warhammer citadel flagship stores really bring together the best of games workshop. Not only is the store stocked with all the recent games workshop products, but it is full of a lot of old car bags to the classic 1980s Games Workshop hobby. But better than all of this is the very welcome, friendly, patient and inviting staff that they have at this location. In addition the café is a very nice addition and the coffee and pastries are great. Definitely intend to make this a regular stop on my days off. read more

Insanely friendly staff, super helpful with their paint classes and picking out recommendations. It was an awesome experience and I can't wait till I get to go back again and get the paints I need to finish the models I bought. The tournaments they have are great and my favorite things was the little cafe they have there too! It's perfect! read more

I'm new to the hobby the folks in here are nice and helpful. There is no snobby comic store vibe here, which is really appreciated.

I love Warhammer and my couson had told me that this was the hub of all Warhammer store. Excellent staff, wonderful selection. Can not wait to return after COVID is over. read more

This place has a great little coffee bar in the back and serves the best hot chocolate I've ever had. In addition, their bathrooms are always very clean and pleasant. They also apparently sell Warhammer models and hobby supplies, but I never really look at those. There's a lot of stuff though. I just go for the hot chocolate and the bathroom. read more

I went to the Warhammer Citadel for the first time with my (soon-to-be) wife and it was AMAZING! From the moment we stepped inside, employees greeted us and showed us around. Tremendous experience from the moment we came in until the moment we left. There are *zero* hobby gate-keepers here! I will definitely be coming back soon! read more

I don't play so I can only recommend this store on the basis of excellent displays and "stuff". The best part was meeting Michael whose enthusiasm made me want to get involved. Go grab a cup of coffee and check out this fabulous store. read more
