Well hello,

Just wanted to give you a heads up on a few things. Games Workshop Recruiting has started a Facebook pages.

http://www.facebook.com/becomelegendary.gw

http://www.facebook.com/GWBecomeLegendaryNAm

We also announced three new stores for Games Workshop US and Canada.
San Diego, California - NEW STORE!!
Dayton, Ohio - NEW STORE!!
Toronto, ON - NEW STORE!!!

If you stay turned to the Facebook Page we will be announcing several more stores in the coming weeks. If you are interested in running a store you can apply directly through the Facebook page or the Games Workshop Career page.

Seriously? GW just started a thread on dakka?!

Kind of like those scenes in westerns when the gunman walks into a saloon, the music stops playing and everyone turns round to stare at him.

I'm dreaming? This must surely just be someone with a sense of humour!

Welcome to Dakka, O' mouth piece of the God Emperor.

To be fair guys, its not like its the first or last time this will happen... heck, back in the day, Paul Sawyer (Fat Bloke) came by the forums... once.

Well really we are here talking about is potential Work. Most likely everyone who reads this post that knows someone in their life currently, who is looking for work or needs to find better work.

That and talking about the excitement of new stores that is always great to hear.

I don't suppose you're authorised to talk about pricing are you?

Pricing? I can tell you the current price of any of our current product. Which you can find over at Games-Workshop.com.

Nuff said.

They'll probably turn him into a servitor if he does.

Smells like a troll. No one could be that clueless.

I'm starting to suspect that too. Somewhere in this world there is a bridge with billy goats walking across it with impunity as the resident troll has decided it's more important to pretend to be someone from GW on Dakka.

If you are the mouth of GW, then welcome to Dakka and I hope you enjoy your stay! If your not, then i'm sure you will enjoy your stay either way.

Well I doubt we'll get any juicy pre-release info or snazzy WIP photo's either unfortunately.

Wow. Such unnecessary hostility, guys. Remember Dakka rule #1.

I don't know that it's a troll or if he's just having a little fun with us.

I think BLNA's reply is meant to suggest (in a subtle manner) that he isn't a person who can implement changes at GW or explain corporate policies such as why the prices are what they are. I think it's best if we regard him as your friendly neighborhood red shirt until proven otherwise.

And in that vein, I say, "Welcome to Dakka."

Yea. Let's hope this guy has his Mk VII "Thick Skin" Armor on. ;P

It's perfectly justified hostility. It's non-constructive zero-content advertising by someone with no intent to participate in the community other than by posting advertising, so lock the thread and ban the poster just like every other spambot is banned.

Well thank you for the Welcome!!

I don't speak for Games Workshop, that is for other people who see a bigger picture than me. I look for people who want to work for Games Workshop. Our positions are not for everyone, but there are people out there that want to run a business and love our product. We are opening new stores, which is creating jobs in different communities, helping those peoples families grow and prosper, which in turn is spreading the hobby. It is easy to be hostile but remember that at the heart of the first message is talking about Work.

Yes, please.

Nope - Rule #1 applies... at all times.

The Facebook page looks nice. Welcome to Dakka and I hope you find good talent for your positions. Don't let the grumps here get you down.

I don't suppose you could tell me where exactly the new store in Toronto is going to be?

I don't think its a troll... the facebook page is pretty extensive. Either way, welcome!

I quite like the idea of a GW rep (read: profile) being publicly visible on the forum, no matter the persons role or access to info. It makes them seem less faceless.

I guess I'm easily pleased

BLNA, I second the words offered by orkybenji. Just a little feedback for you, I'd snap a position up in a heart beat, if only it were better paid.

How many times do you hear that nugget I wonder lol

The new store in Toronto, ON is really south in the Burlington area

Awesome stuff about the store in San Diego!

Too bad I'd have to take an hour train ride there and back again, otherwise I would totally want to work there. Seems like fun to me.

Personally I'm happy to see GW recruiting from Dakka. I hope that the person who makes this thread ignores all of the needless, unnecessary posts and doesn't think that everyone on this forum is that impolite.

Are their any plans to relocate the Alamo California store? I know the manager has moved on, but it was a very popular store.

yeah I do, myself... not that I am qualified to be any sort of manager but... hey I live near Toronto, good to have another store here

I would only know about an Alamo store once we were told to recruit for it. So if your interested in that area I would suggest you follow the Become Legendary page or the Games Workshop Careers page.

Guys this is hardly a member of the design team posting in our little neck of the woods. Cut him some slack.

Oh aren't you just adorable! *pinches new member's cheeks*

no openings in toronto i take it? lol

seems all manager positions... not even gonna waste the paper applying for that

As stated before. GW Employees have been and always will be here on Dakka snooping around. At least I give him some credit for being somewhat up front about it. However you are probably an Area Manager.

Can I inquire about a Games Workshop store in the Des Moines, Iowa area? It was announced and they were hiring for the position, but then I've never heard of the store actually opening anywhere and it was "supposed" to open months ago.
