GAMES WORKSHOP NORTHAMPTON
Equipped with loads of tables and scenery, our well-appointed Gaming Rooms are the best places to go to plays games and enjoy the hobby. You'll find everything you need to fight a great battle, paint, get advice and more.
Like a regular Hobby Centre, all Gaming Rooms provide the full range of Games Workshop services. They are larger than a normal Hobby Centre, and have many tables, making them perfect for meeting fellow hobbyists.
During the week we have to restrict Gaming Room facilities to those over 16, but at weekends they are open to all hobbyists.

THE NORTHAMPTON GAMING CENTRE
 |
Rich Clark, hard at work on a new Warhammer 40,000 board. |
Rich has been working at the Northampton Hobby Centre for four and half months, but this is actually the sixth Hobby Centre he's worked in. Before he came to Games Workshop Rich was a precision engineer which could explain his proficiency at making gaming tables. "I've actually made around 30 to 40 tables in total," says Rich. "I think my best was a Lustria board I made for GW Coventry – the jungle terrain was so dense you really couldn't see more than 6" into it!"
Rich's latest project is a beach landing table for Warhammer 40,000, inspired by the movie Saving Private Ryan. "I'd love to see Chimeras tearing up the beach," Rich says. He uses damp sand for the board texture, a good hobby tip for anyone inspired to build a similar table. "Damp sand is easier to control," Rich explains. "It's cheap to buy in, you'll use less and you can spread it to where you need it."
