White Dwarf

I have had two Grey Knight armies, one of metal and one of plastic.

You can actually see a squad of my Grey Knights in White Dwarf number 300.

They are painted and they are in there.

They're not my best work.

I'm a game designer and author.

I wrote most of Warhammer 40K roleplay, several Warhammer 40K video games.

I've been on the US White Dwarf team for a couple of years in the past.

Basically, the lore for the Death Watch, the Dark Heresy, the Inquisition, Rogue Traders, a lot of that is mine.

I worked on the majority of Warhammer 40K roleplay, several 40K video games.

I was part of the US White Dwarf team for a couple of years.

If you like the lore for Dark Heresy, the Inquisition, Rogue Traders, or the Death Watch, I worked on most of that.

If you don't like it, you can blame me for it, which is fine.

It's like, oh, painting a Primark, are you? think again boy surface primer through the airbrush love my life so

let's do White Dwarf even though it's not a Warhammer episode we're still giving them away we've got so many who was last week's winner so last week's winner was Winter9 he won issue 209 I'm saying it off rip without even double checking yeah no

it definitely is

I think that's right yeah

he won White Dwarf 209 Winter9 yep

Cool.

Yep, so I'll put the email up, just email stuff, then we'll send that to you.

But other than that, yeah, I've worked on a whole bunch of Warhammer 40k roleplay, several video games.

I was at the US White Dwarf team for a couple of years.

I know my way around 40k.

And if you like the lore for Dark Heresy or Rogue Traders or the Death Watch in general, I wrote a lot of it.

It was kind of all we knew at the time, and I'm obviously not speaking for everyone here.

I know there's folks that came to the hobby outside of the Games Workshop ecosystem, but yeah, for many of us listening, It was White Dwarf, it was Games Workshop.

And in the era of the internet, it's really helped us to find miniature ranges and rule systems beyond the behemoth that is GW.

Yeah, I

Particularly with the price of lead these days.

The other thing is it also

makes it a lot easier to play, if you want to stay with GW, it makes it a lot easier to play old editions of the games, like myself, because... there's tons of stuff out there like um that is that is very difficult to get a hold of particularly back in the day when you put extra rules in white dwarf like second edition 40k for instance that had loads of extra rules that were just released in individual copies of white dwarf so trying to track down all the copies of those like the actual physical form is a nightmare whereas now You can get a whole load of PDFs and things like that.

And I think this kind of moves us on to the next topic, which you suggested, which is everything is findable.

Also, others have good out box art, but the box art of, uh, GW m- miniatures looks good.

The articles is always, uh, White Dwarf always awesomely painted, um, armies.

The videos they do, pictures, everything is, uh, is, looks neat and good.

Then we go to Instagram, we scrolling through our algorithm, or Facebook or whatever social medias, and see just amazingly paint artists putting out, like, miniature after miniature, and all looks good.
