Yesterday, we had an Impromptu family visit to GW Warhammer World in Nottingham, we had never been before, so we were all excited about going.


I have blogged about it on our blog here http://40kbitz.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-trip-to-games-workshop-warhammer.html


There are lots of pictures of the day and everything we saw including pictures of my son Luke (who has just turned 6) first ever attempt at painting a space marine.


Pop over to our blog and have a read.

Those are some pretty impressive pictures, thanks for sharing!

And that Blood Angel was a pretty good paintjob indeed, I'd say your son has talent.

Cool to see that the whole family seems to share a hobby.

Nice pics! Sounds like a neat place. I love how it looks like your one son is about to punch the SM statue in a very private area

love the shot of your son punching the marine in the nads!

Damn. Well I officially found ONE thing that makes Britain better than America.

Really PreatorDave? Really?

Nice blog Deeks.

Nut shot for the win!

Thanks very much for the kind words everyone, it really was a great day for all of us, and were already trying to plan our next visit to play on some of those cool tables.

If you havn't been before and are thinking of going, then do it, and take your army with you.

Great post, nice to see people enjoying themselves.

And I agree Warhammer World is a special place.

Our last visit to the place was so impromptu that we didn't have a camera!!

Food was good though, and reasonable prices. Overall worth it if you are passing nearby.

I always have a camera with me, you just never know what your going to see, even have it in the car when we go shopping!

I'll have to upload my pics from WHW.....I fortunately took the snapshot of the duel between the big E and the big H.

Oh wow... Nice pictures, looks like you guys had fun!
When we were in Nottingham me and my boyfriend wanted to visit this magical place but we had no idea where it was.
Looks like we really have to try to find it next time.

The map on their website is hopeless. The industrial estate is split into two halves with a motorway running through the middle, but they are signposted as the same estate. Thus we ended up in the wrong half driving around a cigarette factory. It was so frustrating, unlike most industrial estates there were no signs up anywhere to give a map of what businesses were in which units and nothing to tell you where the hell you were going.

Good to see you got a picture of the Baneblade with the anus cannon :p

Our hats beat your hats, my hat is auto trump to any hat in the entire world.

Looks like a fun place to go.

I'm headed on the 24th.
It was scheduled in to my trip to the UK...

Hoping to have a great time.

ROTFLMAO
Not even a genetically enhanced super soldier with a Power Armor 3+ save can withstand getting punched in the junk by a kid.

Thanks for posting.It looked like a great day out and some of the mini's were outstanding.

That was a great read.

Good times indeed, Thanks for sharing your story there.

My answer to you sir, comes from a high authority:

Sounds like a fun family trip! Wish we had something like that on this side of the pond.
