Tistaminis is a hobby shop located in Hamilton, Canada

We primarily specialize in selling a wide variety of tabletop miniatures. To go along with these we have a great selection of paints, supplies, and terrain from a variety of different product lines. Our grassroots started with buying and selling used Warhammer models on eBay. This is something we specialize in doing and we are constantly look

ing to buy used Warhammer lots from individuals. We also offer a trade-in service where you can bring us your used models in exchange for something else. Cash is always an option as well of course. Our goal at Tistaminis is simple... To offer a great selection of products, at discounted prices, along with great customer service. Our knowledgeable staff will be happy to help you out with any and all your needs in-store should you happen to be local.

This past Saturday, we hosted a 16-player Warhammer: The Old World tournament here at Tistaminis, and once again, our community absolutely showed up.

We are always genuinely impressed by the level of hobby, sportsmanship, and passion that our players bring to the table. From beautifully painted armies to hard-fought battles, it was a great day of dice, strategy, and Warhammer.

Congratulations to our winner, and a huge thank you to everyone who came out, played, supported the event, and helped make the day such a success.

We love seeing this community continue to grow, and we cannot wait for the next one.
