Wolf Lord Miktain Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I am in Roseville MI and the closest GW store to me is the store at Hampton Village in Rochester Hills. Just a little too far for my tastes. Does anyone know of any gaming stores closer to the Macomb County area of Michigan that holds games or events? Or possibly a gaming group or something like that?

I see you posted this in June. There are two stores you should look at, one is very close to you. In St. Clair Shore is "Stay & Play Hobbies and Games" on Harper. We have a group that meets there to play WH40K. There is also "Gamers Gauntlet" on Hall Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hey, I am going to be moving back to Michigan soon and will be staying in Saugatuck for a few months until we find a more permanent location to live at. Are there any gaming groups nearby, possibly in Holland? I saw the only hobby store nearby is in Holland but it seems to be more focused on model planes and trains.

stuckinbermuda Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 There is a local group in Battle Creek and surrounding areas called Cereal Gamers and they have a Facebook page with the same name they use for setting up games and organizing events. There are currently two stores (was three a short while ago) in Battle Creek with GW products and lots of local gamers. Burdette's Comics on Columbis Ave has the official GW dealership in town, the other store in town has been bringing in the product from their other store way over in Fenton to bypass the five mile restriction, meh, not illegal but unethical imho.

Death Guard 7 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi All. i will be moving to Rochester Hills in early April and was looking for a few communities to explore so I can meet fellow gamers etc. I am aware there is an actual GW store in town (I'm currently in MA and there haven't been any out here for a while) but beyond that what are my options. I currently play 40k and am going to be collecting a horus Heresy army in the current months. Thank you. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Bump time. Anyone know of any stores or players in the Kalamazoo area?There are a ton of great people playing Warhammer in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek region, and we meet at Chronocade in Richland (Gull Lake area). The shop owners play the game, are incredibly personable and are very professional about stock, pricing and events. PLEASE join us on Wednesdays 12 noon until 9-10 pm. You are very welcome!

Mitsarugi Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Detroit metro Area, GW Hampton Villiage The Hampton Village 30k Escalation League is underway! As we know most gamers HATE to read instructions when it comes to events but YOU MUST READ THESE AND UNDERSTAND THEM TO PARTICIPATE! If you do not it may preclude you from participating. If you have questions afterwards, please ask a Commissioner. Point of Contact: John Rhodes JRhodes08@aol.com herb_harris@yahoo.com What you need to do: • Pick an Army/Legion/Faction (Traitor or Loyalist) • Start painting in preparation for the schedule listed below! Want to play, but don't have an army? That’s an easy thing to fix. If you are interested in playing in the league, but have yet to start a heresy era army, then buying a Betrayal at Calth starter set is the best place to start! Being that it is an all plastic kit, you are open to all kinds of conversion work, to make your legion of choice, truly yours. It also was made to go along with Forge Worlds legion upgrade kits. How does it work? The Hampton Village 30k Escalation League will be broken into Five Phases and one bonus phase. The primary purpose of the league is to have fun while providing a structured approach for your purchases, assembly and painting of your Horus Heresy armies! If you have been on the fence about starting a Horus Heresy army - this is the time to start. Note: As this is a league that is trying to embrace the narrative of the Horus Heresy and the bloodshed that was caused because of it, we ask that your armies be fluffy in the sense that they would have a strong background. The official events and narrative follow the requirements: • Only painted models and terrain on the tables. (3 color minimum, bases completed) • Good sportsmanship with a narrative focus. In addition, it should be noted that models for the Horus Heresy SHOULD be era-appropriate where such options exist. The ENTIRE point of Horus Heresy gaming is to embrace the narrative of the war as it raged across the galaxy. Players participating in the Escalation League should consider these factors when deciding whether to get involved or not. If any question exists regarding whether a model is appropriate or not, it will be decided by the Escalation League Commissioner. Note: This means that models such as a Whirlwind cannot be used as a whirlwind scorpius, as the standard pattern whirlwind exists in the 30k game and this would lead to confusion when playing. If you are unsure about a specific model, please ask the Escalation League Commissioner. Be aware that units in Horus Heresy Gaming (30k) are typically much more expensive in points than their counterparts in Warhammer 40k. Painting 150+ points is about the cost of a basic 10 man Tactical Marine squad with a transport. So getting to these higher point values is not nearly as daunting as it looks. The hardest part is picking a faction/legion and a paint scheme! The Narrative Games will focus almost entirely on the Traitor vs Loyalist dynamic, with perhaps Mechanicum/Solar Auxillia potentially playing for the opposite side to balance out number of players. More information on this narrative is coming soon... Legions As this escalation league is based on the Horus Heresy, the choice for legions is very specific (as the legions have yet to be broken apart). What this means is that the legion you pick MUST be on of the original 18. Shattered legions will be allowed, but only after Phase 2, not before. Black shields lists are allowed, and they can decide what side of the war they are going to fight on. Unbound armies are not made for the Horus Heresy game, they are not allowed. Victory Points for the league will be determined at the end of each phase of the league. There will be points rewarded for games won, painting, etc. The side with the most points at the end of the league, wins. The Escalation Phases: As mentioned earlier, the Escalation League will take place over several phases. There are certain restrictions in each phase which may preclude you from including certain models. So please read the below carefully when deciding which models you want to work on first. Phase One: (Infiltration) Points Value: 750 Points; Must be completed by _____________________ Missions: Standard 30k Games (Smaller table) Restrictions: No Primarchs, No Super Heavies, No Vehicles Phase Two: (Invasion) Points Value: 1000 Points; Must be completed by __________________ Missions: Standard 30k Games (Smaller Table), Team Games Restrictions: No Primarchs, No Super Heavies, No Vehicles Phase Three: (Beachhead) Points Value: 1500 Points; Must be completed by _________________ Missions: Standard 30k Games, Team Games Restrictions: No Primarchs, No Super Heavies Phase Four: (Direct Action) Points Value: 2000 Points; Must be complete by ___________________ Missions: Standard 30k Games, Team Games Restrictions: No Super Heavies Phase Five: (Seize the Prize) Points Value: 2500 Points; Must be completed by __________________ Missions: Standard 30k Games, Team Games Restrictions: None Bonus Phase: (Apocalypse!) Points Value: 3500 Points Missions: Standard 30k Games, Team Games, Apocalypse sized Team Game. Restrictions: None! This is what the Heresy is all about!!

GoblinChow Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Just getting started building/painting a Blood Angels army and hoping to play some games. Anyone around the Mt Pleasant area? Last Life Games in Clare sells Warhammer. I haven't been there for a couple of years. I think they still have people showing up and playing. It's only about a half hour from Mt. Pleasant.

Special Officer Doofy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Has anyone on here been to the GW in Ann Arbor? Years ago I went to the one in Novi (first in the mall then across the street) and after they closed just random FLGS in Fenton, Howell, Fowlerville area and such. The only GW I've been since Novi is the Rochester one which is nice. But Ann Arbor is a bit closer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hey, new game store just opened up in Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor, run by the guy who does Golden Rhino/Celestial Hammer tournies in Michigan. He's an amazing guy, and the store has a cool system, and once Covid is over, even more cool stuff. It's Golden Rhino Games! Once games open up there, anyone wanna play?

Special Officer Doofy Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm not too far, just off 23 a bit to the north. Whenever the plague war ends that is haha. Do they offer a discount on GW's pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 They have a membership program, with different tiers that give you different things. Bronzed Rhinos: Day before "Early Access" to store sales throughout the year! FREE Store Army rentals "Try before you buy!" (Normally a $5 fee) FREE entrance to Barter Town monthly swap meets. (Normally a $5 entrance fee) Access to store lockers for your personal belongings. Silver Plated Rhinos (all of Bronze level plus): Call Ahead Game Table reservations (24 hour minimum notice) FREE access to monthly painting classes (Normally a $10 entrance fee) Golden Rhinos (all of Bronze and Silver levels plus): 1 FREE drink per day when playing games at the store! Discounts on in store model kits and accessories up to 15% off Early access to all Major events and monthly store tournaments by 1 week minimum! Plus much much more! And it is being updated as it goes, the store opening during Covid has prevented in store play and a lot of the other stuff he has planned. He has gorgeous handmade playing tables, carries tons of options for games and paints, and is going to have the army rental system. Not sure what the future will bring and he plans to do store based sales instead of flat discounts for now at least.

Special Officer Doofy Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hmmm. Sounds interesting. I wonder how the tiers will work. Do you have to pay for them or spend X amount? I mostly play with my brother and we have our own tables/mats/terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It's a monthly sub, currently 10$ for Bronze, 20$ for Silver, 30$ for Gold. His painting classes will be worth the Silver level alone once we can do those too. He's got a website that you can order from, or the GRG facebook has some pictures of the store being built and the tables.
