More than likely, he posts on several gaming group pages to my knowledge including Warlord, where he is sometimes employed. (And where they would know if it was really him).
After leaving GW he has made an effort to stay in touch with gamers, something that was frowned upon when he worked at the corporation.

I did like the "Ripping folks off isn't something we do" quote from the GW CEO. Makes me wonder if he is aware of how his paychecks are supplied.

Spevna thinks that this GW CEO is not to be trusted.

There was a comment from one reader comparing the price of GW PVA glue and Early Learning centre PVA glue. For the same product GW were charging ten times the price. Early Learning centre charges £4 for a litre. For the equivalent amount you would have to pay £40 at GW

So there you have it buy GW PVA glue and you must be sniffing the stuff or main lining it either way you are a window licker if you pay the over priced cost of their modelling supplies. And for those that might say. I did not know any better. I say let the buyer beware. I think GW models are second only to forge world. They are high end stuff the real crime is what kids do to them. But if you can paint well you can increase the value of the models you have...Wee complain because we do not stop an look at the price of many other high end products.

Spevna chuckled after reading this. And his favourite quote from the article;

“A lot of people say this, but there's something about Warhammer games that just resonates with my vagina."
