Warhammer Citadel

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.

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!

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.

I came here to try the cafe but once I entered this magical world of gamers the staff was immediately helpful in pointing me out to the back.This is obviously catered to a certain clientele and whereas I'm not really the gaming type I can appreciate the fun that is this themed, but open expression of that. The coffee was strong which is what I needed from my previous purchase earlier that didn't do it for me. The barista offered to flavor my double shot which worked well.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 fansThey 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.

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.
