Happy 50th Birthday to Games Workshop! 💀🎉

Lovely retrospective in White Dwarf including staff memories & the fun detail behind the first ever store gaming table!

What's your earliest memory of GW?

Here are two of mine - my first miniature and my first ticket to Games Day from ~20 years ago! :-)

Kept it a bit quiet because I don't like a fuss, but I've been suffering after a spinal injury in my neck for the past few months. There was a point where I thought I'd lose use of my right arm and hand, but now I'm on the mend albeit in a lot of pain.

Me: *happy with a one-off purchase of xmas gift, no intention of looking at the site ever again*
Follow-on email: "congrats! Your purchase earned 39 glibbleglorps!"
My self-annihilating, proto-simian brain: ".... what does 40 glibbleglorps get me...?"

It is 4 years since I painted these Dwarf Rangers. They were really fun models. I must get Murin and Drar painted to lead them in an Expedition to the East army.

Hurray! I found my painted Ulthwe which contains loads of early Guardians and weapon platforms. I really like their limited pallette. Also, a rare Eldar trader.

Saddened to learn my favourite basing material store is closing down.

They’re having a sale, it’s good stuff.

Playing Pokémon Go in my area I regularly go near something called Jones Memorial, and when I read it my brain finishes with "and Foot Massage" every. damn. time.

Nice strong coffee and a freshly baked White Dwarf - now that's a nice way to start the day! (That Dwarf Treasure Hunters warband for Mordheim.... *chef kiss*)

I'd say that's a wrap on Quercus from @monstergirltrish.bsky.social. I've really enjoyed this little project.

Dragon waking bunny from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, of course!

I have a new Forest Dragon in my HarrowHyrst range, available from Footsore Miniatures and Games. He’s ready to defend the mighty forests from their enemies! He was sculpted in BeesPutty polymer clay, next job is to paint him!

Running our 500 point old world format this weekend at the tSN Arena. Maybe 8 new people to events out of 24.

Encouraging the next gen to play events is a dream

Y'know when you're checking out on Amazon and they try wringing every penny they can from you by saying "don't forget this" or "maybe you'd like this too?" Well the bastards got me...

Just trying to have a sit down and a bite to eat but there's all these Brits being overtly proud of themselves everywhere.

Sitting in a Starbucks this morning. Guy working on something nearby; I don't know what his laptop did to him but he's typing like it was personal. Maybe he just really wishes his iWhatever was a vintage typewriter.

Sat in a coffee shop as people's names flash up on the screen for order collection. The name "Maya E." appeared, so now I will live in constant hope that one day she'll be ordering a coffee at the same time as "Maya Ü."
