... are you sure you won't play a match??
hm, double hm and a triple hm... i would like, but, really, my girlfriend would kill me. True. And i could understand it :roll:
We left the kids at home and want to do a nice trip together. And then i tell her, hey, just visit the city for a while and i will catch you later... hahaha. WOW! Bad, very bad mistake !!! :wink:

But, if you are living downtown, maybe i , ehm, we just can drop in for a caf and some "minis looking". :roll: We will stay in a flat near Placa Antoni Maura.

Thx for the link and showing the GW shop. I already printed the maps before, but i wasnt sure, which shop is the best.

I live near the city and I'll spent saturday and sunday morning there.
Don't know about your plans but this weekend is a bit busy for me, the playtest matches will be done at our club (out of the city).

Juan Diaz is one of the best GW sculpers. He has made Inquisitor Torquemada, new Daemon prince, new Great Slann mage-priest, etc...

Hi traveller. Here we have 5 GW shop, but the bigger is the new Central Shop in Consell de Cent street. This shop is like the Uk central in decoration, with 2 plants, one with tables for play warhammer with very nice scenaries. All shops have painted minis. You have to visit this one, and is near from the city center and the modernist buildings like Gaudi's architect...
And all shops are open all the day in saturday.

Near Arc de Triomf (quite near from were you'll stay) is a shop called Norma Comics there you'll find lots of things from Milo Manara (including some quite err... nice figures :oops: ) and between Noma and Arc de triomf there's Kaburi, a little shop, usually they have some 2nd edition blood bow minis (cheerleaders, treemen, etc)

Just returned few hours ago from beautyful Barcelona.
4 days trip ... wow, quite a walking in this " little" city. I just can recommend this city to everybody ! And i wish i could come to this event, too. But this time, no. :cry:

Well, thanks again,Ancalagon, for pointing out those nice shops.
I found all of them. And i was realy surprised to meet you, too. :o Just a few minutes later or before and we never met.
Ok, i visited Kaburi shop three times while i stayed the 4 days in Barcelona :smoking: ... i found out, the spanish (!) Vallejo colors are quite a bit cheaper here in Spain as in Germany ! 50 cent less per pot, to be exact. This as a advice for the non spanish painters of your tournement, if they want to take some "presents" back to home... :roll: And, this shop seems to have good connections to MOUK, too. I was surprised to see some "new" 2.ed orcs minis on sale...

And the main GW shop is worth a visit, too. Pity, that my spanish isnt soooo good for "mini talking" and the GWstaff dont speak very much english. But quite a nice show of painted minis and GW stuff. Maybe i will put some picts of my Barcelona trip online at the miniature section of TBB... here just one at first:

Oh, BTW, i got some nice Serpirie comics, too. :roll:
