Grapevine also just broke ground on a fairly large new commercial and events development just a couple blocks south of that location. So that area's going to see even more traffic than it already does.

Is it always Christmas in Texas?


In Grapevine yes. They are semi famous in the South for being a Christmas town (often without the snow).

By the way, keep a look out in the next 24 hours on google maps for a "name change." hehehehe

Pretty Dull name. I mean I get why they don't want to be super punny or obscure, but naming it after their paint brand?

Mmmmm...Coffee...makes me think of acrylics and paint thinner...

Actually they named it after their miniatures brand.

Very nice - on Main Street and not stuffed into a mall.


Looks like a decent area however, I have the feeling that the people in charge of choosing the location are completely ignorant to the concept of personal transportation and the required parking associated with it.

We know the floor space is 4000 sq.ft and let's assume GW expects to have 2 employees on site. They should have 15 parking spots minimum.

There's somewhere north of 100+ parking spaces within a 5 minute (quarter mile) walk.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if they put a 1 hour maximum on the six spaces in front so 'all day' players don't clog the few 'prime' spots.

When you're trying to transport an army somewhere for a game, a five minute walk on busy sidewalks isn't really ideal.

There's not a lack of retail parking off Main, but all but six spaces are going to more than a 20 foot walk. I don't disagree regarding convenient 'army transport' parking, but that was an issue at the Mills before.

Perhaps they will have a space or two reserved for 15 minute 'army unloading' only parking right in front of the store. (Or if they don't... "suggestion box" time.)

Really Games Workshop has been Citadel Minatures since circa 1985 when Bryan Ansell bought the company.

The name is a very Beige choice though.

I will drive by the address they have posted (I basically pass by there every day, on my way home). If there is anything to interesting. Ill make it known here.

EDIT: I stopped by the store, looks to only just have signed paperwork as the store just has "New Warhammer Store coming soon" on all the existing windows. Ill try and make a point to drive past it every week or so and provide info if I can.

But wait, there's more. Most of tables in the Cafe are board games sized. More on that tomorrow. One last thing, our events will not be limited to the number of tables on site (and that's all I can say about that.). Here are some teaser pics of the tables we have worked on so far.

So 14 tables in store, and the promise events are limited to those boards.

Reckon they'll be hiring venues local to them for bigger tournaments?

Also, how does 14 gaming tables compare to your average (is there such a thing?) FLGS?

Compared to the other stores in the area I visit, one has 2, two of them have 3, and the last has 14. I'm not sure about mid-cities and Ft. Worth side. Warhammer Citadel will for sure be one of the highest number of table stores.

14 is pretty good. We don't often go above 30 people in a tournament.

The main Dallas Area store has 12-15 I believe. But it also has lots of terrain on shelfs along the walls and caters to all miniature gaming, not just GW products. It also has plenty of parking. The issue with Main Street is that there are so many local shops, as others have said you will have to walk. I go often to eat at Jakes, and always park near the church, which is a probably 2-3 minute walk.

Well today is the day, and a deal is a deal. First of all thank you for sharing all of the posts. You did it! We are proud to announce that the Warhammer Citadel is going to open its doors June 9th and 10th at noon! Make sure to sign up for the event (see the events section), and bring all of your friends.

The second bit of information is that the Citadel WILL carry Forgeworld products. Yep folks, that is what the big project was/is that we are working on. We’ve spent the last few weeks building a ton of Forgeworld models for the display case. (see pics below)

Make sure you get down here on opening weekend. Not only will there be a large selection of Forgeworld on sale, but there will be lots of Warhammer Citadel exclusives. We will also have the Limited Edition Space Marine Captain, and all sorts of additional cool Warhammer products. This is big news, so please share this post with as many people as you can!

Probably the Terminator Armour since that's supposed to be for store openings; Primaris with Powerfist is the store birthday one.
