At Loaded Dice, we reckon your hobby time should be the best part of the week — not a faff. We're an independent games shop packed with Warhammer, trading cards, board games, RPGs, model kits, paints, toys and collectibles, run by people every bit as obsessed with this stuff as you are.
How it started
Loaded Dice began in 2020, when Graham had a fairly simple idea: make it easy for hobby fans to get the things they love, without the stress. Local shops were vanishing, and we wanted somewhere reliable for the community to shop and natter.
We kicked off on eBay and Amazon during lockdown, helping people keep their hobbies going when everything else was shut. We built out our Amazon Prime range, were the first to bring the AK Interactive line to Amazon, and still work closely with them today.
From the screen to the high street
In 2023 we opened our very own shop in Barry, South Wales — and finally got to meet the people we'd previously only known as order numbers. The range has kept growing ever since, and so has the fun.
The shop and the warehouse
As more orders started flying out the door, the shop could no longer double as a stockroom — so online orders now ship from a dedicated warehouse (we call it the WaaaghHouse). Translation: your parcels go out faster, and the shop floor gets to be a proper shop floor rather than an obstacle course of boxes. The warehouse is the engine room; the Barry shop is the heart.
What makes us different
An easy website, fair prices, genuinely fast delivery, and real people who actually care — no bots, no nonsense, just fellow hobby lovers on the other end. Whether you're building a Warhammer army, cracking open a fresh box of cards, or rolling into your first D&D session, we've got your back.
Come and see us
The Barry shop is where you can browse the full range in person and get a proper steer from people who actually play. If you're anywhere near South Wales, pop in and say hello.
