Games Workshop

I beg to differ with my previous reviewers. I think that there is an «in between.» You see, I neither love nor hate this type of shop. I am slightly curious because I love tiny things like doll house miniatures and models … But then, I’m not really into gaming or boyish hobbies like this. So I’m in the in between.
I was curious enough to go in, but had no intention of buying. I think that if you like miniature things of any kind, or you like games of any kind, it’s a fun place to poke around.
So give it a chance if you have any of those interests. But otherwise … eh.

Big boys, little boys, toy soldiers, jumpers for goal posts as the fast show sketch so eloquently put it. Games Workshop is either a shop which will fascinate you or leave you stone cold. Exactly like the ad for marmite you either love it or hate it there is no in between. Assuming like me you are a fan but do not dare get too close of you will be drawn in for a sample game run by one of the really earnest assistants. This will inevitably lead to a purchase of figures, paints and rulebooks and the playing with set purchases for the remainder of that week.
This would then lead to me personalising the rules endlessly just to see how the rules could be pushed and just how geeky I could make it — with rules about orks tripping over their own bootlaces and things. Then I’d end up staying up for hours with just a few other lonely losers or, probably more likely, just alone.
Why do I think this? Well, it may have actually happened.
