Formerly Old Guard Hobbies. This store has a good selection of Games Workshop figures, as well as the occasional packages of historical miniatures (I recently bought some Gripping Beast vikings there). Also, a small selection of board wargames, and some RPG materials. The store mainly focuses on plastic models.
LIVONIA (West Metro Detroit)
RIW Hobbies
29116 5 Mile Rd
Livonia, 48154
(734) 261-7233
The closest thing the Detroit area has to a hobby game store. There is plenty of Games Workshop, War Machine, and other science fiction and fantays miniatures, plus supplies for miniatures gaming. Most of the store, though, is dedicated to collectable games, board games (a good selection of Euro Games) and RPGs. An adjacent storefront offers tables for gaming.
