Again, this is a clip. Perhaps you use these.

Just kidding now.

I wish I had the hair for them; they'd really make my outfit pop.

I recon he actually called out the biggest guy that was there..

Did he survive?

We think hes either died in glorious battle or became sex slave for slaneeshi rituals in a GW basement...

Let us toll the bell of lost souls for this brave youth, who has disappeared, trapped in hell with these poor and damned souls.


He is lost to the warp now.

That story just never gets old with me.

So, when you go to your local 40K store:

First things first

Check into your temporary accommodation. (In which corner of the shop will you sleep? Under the first table, or behind the storage area?)
Let your friends and family at home know that you have arrived safely. (And don't forget to ask them to bring extra diapers when they come resupply you in food)

Set up communications

Set up a pre-paid mobile phone account.
Find your nearest internet service point. (Because all of your money for WiFi and phone credit obviously went into fancy Forge World stuff, right? )

Get the paperwork sorted

Apply for a tax file number and open a bank account if still required.
Register yourself and your family for a Medicare card if you are eligible or arrange for private health insurance. Don't forget to get model insurance, and to verify that permanent bone structure damage caused by repeating endlessly the same wrist movements (dice rolling syndrome)

Start serious job hunting

Contact potential employers and recruitment agencies to set up interviews. This will be hard, as most jobs would require you to qtop playing or leave the store.

Settle in

Collect your pets from quarantine if necessary.

Some weird guy is making him put the lotion on the skin

But in seriousness, be yourself. It's okay to be awkward. You're going there because you're interested in something that everybody else is already going for. Talk about armies, talk about paint jobs. Having a hobby like this and going to a location designed for that hobby makes it a lot easier to connect with people in that hobby, almost by default.

Oh, and win. Always win. A game store that fears you is a game store that respects you*
