    Well, if you're coming all the way from Mexico to hit up Grand Rapids, while not head a couple hours south and hit a few other stores?

    Flint, MI - Gamer's Sanctuary
    East Lansing, MI - 21st Century Comics and Games
    Garden City, MI - Pandemonium
    Livonia, MI - RIW Hobbies...

    Or check out this list and use Google Maps to see if anything is close by.

    The list may not be terribly accurate, and they don't all carry Privateer Stuff. The list I gave above is the best ones in the area, imo.

    *Cygnar*Circle*Mercs*Thornfall*Retribution*Legion*Khador
    * Malifaux Outcasts * WHFB Dark Elves * WHFB High Elves *

    Here's a link to the only LGS I know of in Grand Rapids:

    I've been there a few times. It's a very large store that deals in all kinds of games, RC cars, model railroads and the like. Not sure on their current stock of PP products as I havn't been there in a few years but it's worth a look!

    Riders in Grand Rapids has ZERO tables. They don't carry much for PP either. 4 blisters and 4 box sets for each primary faction. They are not a good store in terms of helping the community at all, both PP and GW with no tables for gaming. 21st Century in Lansing, a little over an hour away depending on which side of town you're on is a good store with several tables, tons of stock, and regular PP events. The other direction towards the Lakeshore in Muskegon is Grandiosity. Though they carry nearly no product they have a great group of players and do offer discounts unheard of at retail. They have massive tables as they host Historical games, and can always support more people than are there. Their only downside is their odd hours as they are actually a historical minuratures manufacturer, and just happen to have a great gaming space in the front of the building. I have yet to visit the stores in Kalamazoo (south), but I keep hearing about Odysee and Titan Games. Best bet are Grandiosity or 21st Century based on which side of town your on as either are an hour out.

    I moved here from Massachusettes and miss the awesome stores out there. Grand Rapids really sucks for supporting this hobby and is prime for someone to come along and change things. GW is ok in Holland, but if you really want to play any of these games, you need to travel or find a local club such as the Battle Barn which they themselves only meet Friday nights.

    There's also Shoreline Minis, also in Muskegon; our crowd is growing pretty steadily, Wartorn Alliances: Thornwood is starting up on Monday, and we'll be putting on Steamrollers pretty soon as well! Check us out on Facebook, or at our website www.shorelineminis.com

    White Cap Comics in GR has an active Warmachine group, although I've never been there. I think they meet on Monday nights.

    21st Century Comics and Games in East Lansing is where I play. Great crowd, tons of stock and a good amount of table space. We meet on Friday nights, although sometimes you can find people playing during the week, especially during leagues.

    Otherwise, you should check out the stores in Muskegon.

    I go to TC Paintball in Traverse City. They carry a full line of PP products and I know they have a store in GR. Goolge TC Piantball warroom and you should be able to find out exactly where they are. They support the the game with tables too!

    White cap doesnt keep things in stock, so if you plan on going there order ahead of time!
    Also they play on fridays and mondays, their tables arent always built, so try to go on one of those days.
    And traverse city is supppperrr far from GR lol!
    I usually play in muskegon as someone mentioned earlier at shoreline minis, they play more warmahordes than 40k.
