Game Castle is definitely your best bet. 101 W to 93S to exit 4. 2.2 miles west off the highway. Lots of space & good tables. Good stock. Good people. Tuesday nights are the main league/active night, though Saturdays are pretty hopping too. It's mostly 40k and Warhammer, though with a smattering of FoW, Malifaux and Battletech, and a group of about 4-6 guys who play all sorts of different historical wargames who are in pretty much every week. They have quite a surprisingly good little hole in the wall sushi & chinese place literally next door as well.
As far East as you are, Dover's not too far a hike either, and Elite Hobbies there has some really nice folks. It's a smaller store, with less space, but they are quite nice and it's a picturesque little college town. Nice for walking around on weekends. Good pub literally next door.
Collectibles Unlimited is a great more general card and comic shop in Concord. They don't do much minis gaming, but used to have periodic events. The owner, Mike, is a really great guy; if you're working in Concord it's a great place to shop.
Myriad Games just opened a second location (had one down in Salem for years) in Manchester, which may actually be the shortest drive for you. Tuesday nights are also their biggest night; lots of general boardgaming, with some flavor-of-the-month minis gaming. Dystopian Wars is getting a lot of play recently. Also a little bit of Epic and some Battletech clickies recently. They also do some Uncharted Seas, some Malifaux, and I've seen other stuff there. It's kind of a small space, and doesn't lend itself to bigger minis games like WH & 40k (which is why I'm usually at the Game Castle), but the crowd is grown up and pretty nice, and the store is very clean, nice and professional.
Funny that you came out from Portland. A buddy of mine from here in NH moved out there a few years back; maybe you've played with him!
