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! :-)

Last week I had the pleasure of popping in to the Super Relaxed Fantasy Club (@srfantasyclub.bsky.social ) for a reading and a Q&A.
Before that, I had to figure out the right pacing. You can now find the (no spoilers) alternate reading up on Youtube (link in reply).

Master of Rites is up for pre-order next Saturday in limited edition, hardback, French and German editions!
I’m so incredibly proud of this book, and taking on the next step in Ferren’s story has been an honour - I can’t wait to see what people think of it.

All of the Warhammer stories I've written!
When I wandered into my local Games Workshop store as a kid more than 20 years ago I'd never have believed I'd get the chance to do this!
It's so fun & there's just as much wonder in the great, grimdark world of Warhammer as when I first encountered it 🖤
