Yes, I can get paint in Stoke but that's about it. I could also get 28mm plastics but they are not my interest. Shops here are plastic model shops and have no interest for me in that regard

Not a FLGS as such, but Hattons, near Penny Lane in Liverpool, is brilliant for Vallejo paints, flocks, Woodland Scenics, buildings etc, etc. It's an internationally recognised model railway shop with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff who are only too willing to help out a wargamer.

Firestorm games in Cardiff.  In Trade Street opposite the Brains Brewery.

It is freaking huge - they host the Cardiff club and have about 30 tables!  They've just moved into a unit formerly a furniture showroom (imagine a DFS style thingie)

Swansea has a small shop, but while I might be able to find it, I can't tell you anything about it.

Dead Universe Comics in Aylesbury is about to move to Bourbon St into the parcel place that folded in December - a dice throw from the Games Workshop (who have always been very helpful to me)
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

If only there was some place we could collate questions that were frequently asked...

There's a new place in MK I've just remembered, but not remembered enough to recall its name.

Are the any FLGS's left in the London area (inside the M 25)? Going to be in for a couple of days in June.

Already got visits to PM (If OK with Leon) and Spiritgames penciled into the travel plan as well as days out at Duxford and Bovington lined up  8)

It seems that FLGS are not as rare as hens' teeth then.

Role n'Play in Wilves is still going, though last time I spoke to them they did most business on line.

Waylands Forge in Birmingham recently moved to the Custard Factory and is great :)

The Games Shop in Aldershot used to have wargaming stuff but it's now mainly odds and ends from ages ago and their focus is more on Lego and things.

I remember playing the GW Lord of the Rings Miniatures wargame there when I was about 13/14. I remember the battle being stacked points wise heavily against me, and my elves for predictably crushed. Used to love that shop though, used to just spend time looking at all the stuff they had available on the walls and on display.

Esdevium Games?  That's sad to hear.

Esdevium still look to be in business from their website, possible it's all clicks and no bricks, of course.

Esdevium Games; used to drool over their massive adverts in White Dwarf deciding what to save up for next.  Happy days  :)

Esdevium Games was a shining light in the concrete jungle that is Aldershot
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
