Games Workshop is adding four new official locations to its retail network this month, with store openings confirmed across two US cities and two Polish cities before April is out.

The US rollout will begin April 11, when South Bend, Indiana receives its first dedicated Warhammer store. Arlington, Texas follows on April 18. In Poland, Szczecin is also scheduled to open April 11, while Poznan will close out the month on April 25. Games Workshop confirmed all four dates in a Warhammer Community post published March 30.

For hobbyists in South Bend and Arlington, an official store changes the shape of the local scene considerably. Prior to these openings, players in both areas had to travel further to access official stock, in-store demos, painting nights, and tournament sign-up infrastructure. Official stores bring all of that under one roof, along with a local team running ongoing hobby programming.

Both US stores will open in time to carry the tail end of April's Miniature of the Month promotion. The Flesh-eater Courts Cryptguard became available at participating stores on April 4, and South Bend and Arlington will offer the model once their doors open. The April coin offer will also apply.

All four stores will launch with the Battle Honours beginner programme running from day one. Battle Honours walks new players through the full hobby pipeline: collecting, building, painting, playing, and reading. For Szczecin and Poznan, that means a structured entry point into the hobby is available from the moment the store opens, not something to find later.

The Polish expansion in particular reflects Games Workshop's continued investment in European brick-and-mortar presence. Two new Polish stores in a single month, both tied into the same global promotional cycle as US and UK locations, points to a retail strategy that treats physical presence as a growth lever rather than a legacy cost.
