Great variety, though when it comes to the reaper bones minis they lacked quite a few that I wanted, not sure when more shipments come in

Great hobby shop. It also regularly hosts events and is a place where local gamers can come down and throw some dice, amongst other things.

Great store

had a peek in here but it was so uninviting that we left pretty quickly. I gave it 4 stars anyway, because I want a place like this to succeed, but I would also like them to put in some effort...

My go to place for everything war games, very welcoming and friendly staff with great advise.

This place is awesome! I went in for some paints and walked out an hour later. There's so much to see, and the fact that you can sit there and paint or game is great. The owners were really helpful with questions about different painting techniques.

Always helpful advice and great terrain to use.

Best wargaming hobby store in Melbourne

Professional and well laid out shop and gaming area. Has minatures, board games, roleplaying games plus an area to play games; you can pay a small fee (around $5) to borrow from the library of games which is per person all day and will be discounted off any games you may buy. They offer a reasonable choice of food and drink and are licensed. Only popped in for a few things but will definately be back! Update: Popped in recently since we were in the area and it seems to have changed hands. There was a lot more shop items, but it was quite messy. The Cafe seems to have gone. We were going to stop and see if about using the game library and tables, but it wasn't that inviting. Perhaps it's in the middle of a reshuffle.

Good selection

Make this your local games store if you can. Super friendly, really passionate about the industry and they know their stuff!

Awesome shop for tabletop game hobby who run game nights, and tables to rent. Also stock selection of scale kits and Gundam. Lots of figures, game sets, books, minis, WH40k, scenery materials. Huge selection of quality paints, brushes, painting supplies, airbrushes, compressors. Very friendly and helpful owners for any questions.

Very dirty and messy shop. Great shope for miniatures, paint and D&D dice. Small selection of other table top games.

Best hobby shop in Melbourne if not Australia!

There are always lots of interesting boardgames, tabletop RPGs, and miniatures for sale, and the staff are always knowledgeable and lovely to talk to.

Very friendly place, good theme room.

The couple of times I’ve been here everyone has been friendly, helpful and inclusive.

Amazing shop. Staff have a wealth of knowledge and gave me a bunch of tips and advice as a first timer in the miniature painting world. Loads of tabletop games, miniatures, supplies.. even a few gundam models! And two super lovely dogs :) Am certain I will be back

Needs to have some TLC put back into the place. Currently it is dirty, grungy and uninviting, however it is the only 'real' hobby space gamers have.

Love this shop! Big range of Warhammer/D&D minis, board games, terrain and everything else you could want!

Great place for any of your wargaming needs

Awesome place ran by awesome people

Plenty of room, heaps of stock from multiple companies, not just GW. The famous Squidmar charity auction Thunderhawk is on display there, too.

Best places for all things tabletop!

Definitely your one stop shop in terms of table top gaming. Great variety, retail prices and the owners are really lovely. Plus they have 2 dogs that are adorable

Always a service with a smile ..... Vast selection of products and games .... Such an excellent place

Best shop for all things gaming! The owners are really friendly and helpful. It has a great atmosphere.

staff are incredibly easy going and great to talk too, the shop offers a wide range of board games, aswell as a great variety of warhammer with plenty of tables upstair for you and your mates to come and play on. this place is the perfect place for beginners too any hobby as the staff are very knowledgable and wont push you to grow your pile of shame too fast.

One stop shopping for all miniature lovers. Great stuff and very nice owner

A great place with everything that I needed, and it's close to the station.

Great games seletion. Tables for gaming upstairs. Big store. Lots of brands that other stores dont stock!

I've become a regular of this place in the last couple of months as I got back into miniature painting. They have a variety of brands, from Vallejo to citadel to army painter, plus every basing material or effect paint you could want. They've truly become my one stop shop, and the two owners are great to speak with, well informed, friendly, and they love to connect with their customers so I strongly encourage you to have a chat with them! Whether you like painting or board games, or soon to be dice of all types (shipment coming soon!) or if you just want to sit in the back and paint without the pressure of Geelong like you need to buy something, or hire the back room for a dnd/pathfinder session, this is the place.

Very friendly staff with a lot of stock on hand. Just about everything I could need and want!

Great minitures shop run by the nicest people.

Good range of board and tabletop miniature games. Good staff and good clean fun

Really lovely owners. I would love if they had a few more board games but they definitely have some special and unique ones!

Very well stocked store for the miniature gamer

Fantastic local shop for anything hobby related. Owners are friendly and knowledgeable. We're privileged to be able to live nearby!

Very honest and friendly staff who answer any questions you may have.

Great prices and an Inclusive community.

We are spoilt for choice for great gaming stores in Ringwood. This is the best of them. House of war is the best gaming store I have been to hands down.

Moderately expensive, but quite a wide variety of games. Unfortunately the whole front row has sunbleached and they've covered the window but all the games are still full price! Beware in case they turn them around. I wouldn't be happy paying $200 for a game with a box in terrible condition new.

A quick visit turned into an extended browse. House of War has a great range, and you can tell the owners care a lot about the community and are hobbyists themselves. Will need to visit again to learn more about the table area and upstairs.

There's a dog sometimes!! But it kinda smells like BO every time I go in there. Good stock though.

They were friendly and shared their hobby experience to help me find some quality brushes that fit with my budget. They've got an amazing selection of wargames, boardgames and hobby supplies .

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Love to give a pat to Leo the shop dog

Hands down one of the most fantastic gaming venues in Victoria, possibly Australia. The owners are clearly hobbyists and not just there for profit - they take pride in their stock and what they have to offer for new and experienced hobbyists. Highly reccomend the visit. Will be returning!

There are many dice and it amazing! And doggie is very cute 😍

Amazing upstairs gaming area. Plenty of stock however, the time I visited the place seems quite disorganised. Possibly renovations going on? Certainly didn’t open at 10am as advertised

Amazingly friendly staff. Great selection and an awesome location. Great to see display units even including some amazing international units such as the Thunderhawk painted by 'Emil -Squidmar'. Great to see the store back open to the public even if the on site doggo was just happy to relax out of the way instead of getting their just rewards with a sniff and pat. Well worth stopping in to check out their items.

Great store. Super friendly and ready to provide good advice. Is places like this that improve our gaming community.

Best table wargaming shop I have been to.

A wonderful friendly local game store, with a massive selection of all the staples of tabletop gaming. The staff are fantastic and helpful, and always happy to have a chat to help find what you're after.

So far I have only bought retail products from House of War (COVID-19 and all) but they have space to people to run games and paint miniatures.. one of a kind business in the area. Staff are always happy and welcoming, as is the dog. =)

As I entered, staff member tells me I have to wear a mask. I have a medical exemption. Irony that the staff member didn't have one on when I walked in. It's a joke, follow your own rules. I'll be shopping elsewhere

Incredibly brilliant and helpful

Good selection of games.
