Looking for a proper Warhammer shop in Barry? You've found it. Loaded Dice sits on Holton Road in the middle of town — a real bricks-and-mortar hobby shop where you can pick up Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, the entire Warhammer Colour (Citadel) paint range and every bit of hobby kit in between — then actually hold it before you buy.
We're the hobby shop South Wales gamers actually drive to — a short hop from Cardiff, Penarth and the wider Vale of Glamorgan. Whether you're kicking off your first army or topping up shades at the eleventh hour before a game, it's all on the shelf.
Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar & the rest
The full Games Workshop line-up, in person:
- Warhammer 40,000: starter sets, Combat Patrols and the latest 40k releases — every major faction covered.
- Age of Sigmar: battletomes, boxes and heroes across the Mortal Realms, from our Age of Sigmar range.
- Kill Team & Horus Heresy: skirmish boxes and the 30k / Legions Imperialis stuff for the die-hards.
- Black Library & White Dwarf: novels and the monthly magazine for when the painting's done.
New releases land on launch day. If you want first dibs, keep an eye on our Warhammer pre-orders.
The full Warhammer Colour (Citadel) paint range
Here's the honest bit: you cannot judge a paint pot from a photo on a screen. Backlit product shots lie, everyone's monitor is different, and "close enough" is how you end up with three near-identical greys. That's exactly why the in-store Warhammer Colour (Citadel) paint wall earns its keep — see the actual colour, under actual light, before it goes in the basket.
We carry the lot:
- Bases, Layers & Shades: the classic Citadel three-step, fully stocked.
- Contrast: the one-coat wonder — browse Contrast paints.
- Technical, Dry, Air & Sprays: textures, washes, airbrush-ready pots and primer cans.
Not sure where to start? Build your own set with the Citadel Paint Bundle Builder — pick your pots, we sort the rest.
Citadel isn't the only game in town, and we don't pretend otherwise. If you paint, glue, base or build, we've got you:
- Other paint ranges: Army Painter, Vallejo, Pro Acryl and more — shop by brand or by colour.
- Brushes, glues, clippers & files: the boring essentials that make or break a model.
- Basing, flock, tools & varnish: everything in our full hobby range.
- Paint sets: ready-made starter painting sets if you'd rather grab and go.
Why bother coming in?
Fair question when everything's a click away. Because some things are just better in person:
- See paint in the flesh — no more guessing a scheme off a screen.
- Straight advice from people who actually play — beginners genuinely welcome, no question's too daft.
- Click & collect — order online, pick it up when it suits you.
- Launch-day stock — new Warhammer (and TCGs) on the shelf the day they drop.
- Earn Chamber store credit on what you spend, in store or online.

Common questions
Do you stock the full Warhammer Colour / Citadel paint range?
Yes — Bases, Layers, Shades, Contrast, Technical, Dry, Air and spray primers, on the shelf in Barry and online.
Can I order online and collect in the shop?
You can. Place your order on the website, choose collection, and grab it in store whenever suits.
I'm new to painting — will you actually help?
Gladly. Tell us what you're building and we'll point you at the right paints, brushes and a sensible starter set. No gatekeeping.
Where can I park?
On-street parking is right by the shop, with town-centre car parks a couple of minutes' walk away. If you're coming by train, Barry and Barry Docks stations are both close.
Online's brilliant for restocking your Contrast pots at midnight. But choosing a squad's colours is a lot easier when you can see the actual paint under actual light — so if you're local, come and have a rummage.
Ready when you are: browse the full Warhammer range, dig into the Warhammer Colour paints, or plan your visit.
