My kids have gotten in building and painting Warhammer models. They love this store. Travis is super knowledgeable and shares what he knows freely in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. He's great with kids. The store has a very welcoming vibe, regardless of one's experience level.
The store itself is typical. Warhammer stuff, many things available. Many not, but accessable in short order. What makes the store a good one is Travis. Travis is friendly, knowledgeable, and great with old nerds like me, newbie kids, moms trying to placate kids. He's also a pretty darn good hobbyist in his own right, sharing knowledge freely. Travis has made the Eugene Warhammer shop a hub of the community.
I just want to start off by saying, this was the most fantastic experience ever! I recently got into Warhammer 40k and my birthday had come up so a few friends of mine joined me on an adventure for my first ever visit to a Warhammer Store. It was so cool to see what was all available and immediately be greeted by people having fun playing games, painting, and discussing this hobby! We were met With Travis (A staff member and Super cool dude btw) and he asked us about our interests in the Hobby and then asked us if we were interested in a free lesson in painting a model. We took Travis' offer and he made us feel so at home and was such a great teacher. Patient, kind, and funny. All of my friends and I were so in-tuned with the lessons he was teaching and also just the way he was able to support each of us. Some of my friends were in the know about 40k but those who weren't seemed immediately hooked on painting the models and I really do think that was due to how Travis spent time and interacted with us. Later, Travis helped us pick out some gear we wanted to purchase to paint our first round of models and he again, was such a great help and vibe. All in all, for it being my birthday and getting the chance to really dive into a hobby that I'm so excited to get started with, this store, the community, and Travis, was definitely the best way to get into the Hobby. I wish I could give more than the 5 stars on here, please do come by to check these guys out!
