I heard from Jessica that Tau's Empire is so small. Like, really, embarrassingly small. She said it only encompassed a couple-hundred systems. Not only that, but he didn't even know any of the Chaos positions!
This is why you go to third party hobbyist shops instead.
They'll just let you roam around in peace.

>third party hobbyist shop
>roam around
>implying they aren't cramped as fuck, full of musty stank and unsold stock from nearly a decade ago being bleached by the sun.
>>46517805
This is true, though I'll take it over a badgering from a whipped gw employee any day of the week.
>>46517824
I'd rather just shop online, you shouldn't have to choose between 2 shit options in 2016, brick and mortar stores should be worth going to instead of the internet.They aren't

>>46517844
they rebrand your store to a Warhammer store, now none of your paychecks line up with the store name so they stop paying you in money and instead pay you in unsold bretonian blister packs
> some asshole kid comes in and asks when your next painting workshop is, you don't know when your next meal is so you tell the kid to fuck off
>your manage reports you because you didn't rob him before throwing him out of the store
> get told to shape up or they'll start paying you in night goblin sprues
>>46517837
This is also true, but it's nice to pop into an actual store every once in a while if you're in town anyway.
>>46517899
I'm not sure that is is, really.
generally the owners are sitting behind the pointer painting or making something and they don't want to chat about hobbies beyond their specific interests.
the atmosphere is very much like you walked into his living room and hes annoyed
>>46517915
It's a shame, because I totally get that. It's a shame the atmosphere in these places has become so toxic and insular in recent years. They used to be much better when I was younger. I suppose I just like to have a poke around for nostalgia's sake.
>>46517934
that's part of the problem I think, a lot of visitors to the store just look about and then leave.
The stores struggle, so I can see why a longtime owner wouldn't be the friendliest.
>>46517949
That's moronic.
People visiting and browsing isn't a problem.
And while it may be problematic when they don't buy, that doesn't imply the fault is with the consumer.
Being a shitbird proprietor doesn't fix that issue, it exacerbates it.
>>46517949
And dry humping the customer's leg to the point where they get turned off from your store entirely is better?
If nobody's buying your shit, that means you either don't have the kinds of things people want or your prices are too damn high. Given we're talking about GW take a guess as to what the problem is.
>>46517691
haha oh wow ya i agree
tau are shitgay and only for people not as cool and mature as me (i'm 14 btw)
i only play space marines and chaos because all other factions r just stupid
hahaha o wow why would anyone play tau? that's just stupid
>>46518491
It doesn't excuse it but it does explain it. People don't buy much from GW stores when online is cheaper and GW support for the community has dropped rather heavily.

Haha in Australia you don't have co-workers in a GW store. They cut it back to one employee in the store at a time.
Fucking lunacy.
>>46518781
the spiders ate the rest of the employees.
if you ask the last guy if they have more of a certain product in the store room he will say no, not because they don't, but because going in there is a death sentence.
the webs covered in blood and spilled aardcoat cans cover the stock, death is the only product available in that room.

Fucking lost.
>>46517934
Jesus anons, where are you even going? I go to my GW to browse, get the white dwarf, and sometimes just chat with other folks. The store manager is really nice, let's you both browse in peace and very helpful if you need anything. I generally buy my stuff there, even though there is the internet because the guy is gold.
