I heard Rick was fired for trying to sneak 15mm Gauls onto the table in a game of 40k against Jervis. He tried to pass them off as space goblins! Jervis said "It wasn't in the codex/catalog, he just had to go."
Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

It looks like JJ took that 15mm Gauls thing personally, look at this:

Warhammer Historical was dissolved as a business on June 1st. Obviously this has been brewing for a while.

This is what happens when what started as a bunch of hippy mates trying to make a living out of their hobby becomes a corporation.

The GW hobby has very little to do with th GW hobby I got into all those years ago.

Not particularly surprising, but... yeah.

Another thing that wouldn't surprise me a'tall is RP opening up his own design studio with a focus on awesome awesome historical games.
