Former Warhammer author Josh Reynolds joins Jordan Sorcery to talk about working with the Black Library, how the End Times really went down, and the challenges & opportunities of writing fiction for settings like Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Arkham Horror, and the Legend of the Five Rings.

Josh Reynolds has written some of the most iconic characters in Games Workshop’s world, including Gotrek, Felix, Nagash, Fabius Bile, and of course the Lord of the End Times Archaon, and we explore all of it!

Ryan Miller helped to establish Games Workshop’s brief tenure as a CCG and TCG card game company by founding Sabretooth Games in the early 2000s. 

Responsible for the Warhammer card game WarCry, and a 40k card game called Horus Heresy, Miller explored parts of the settings and lore that were relatively untouched, and tapped into a completely different gaming space for GW. And all of that was before he helped to design Disney Lorcana.

We talk about Peachy’s career at Games Workshop - getting started in retail and building a community; how the business culture changed over time; becoming the first army painter at the studio and transitioning to the Warhammer TV team; and all of that before breaking out on his own and becoming a YouTube sensation!

Gary Morley is a legendary miniatures sculptor who worked at Games Workshop in the 90s and early 2000s. During his time with the Citadel team he was massively prolific, producing miniatures for the Warhammer Undead and many other fantasy armies, Necromunda, 40k, Warhammer Quest, Mordheim, and the entire Blood Bowl range. 

His Nagash miniature maybe one of his most famous, but there are countless amazing minis in his long career, and we talk about all of it!

Paul Barnett was a key creative lead in the creation of Warhammer Online and when we got together to chat, Paul had some terrific legends to share from behind the scenes at Games Workshop.

We talked about some of the most interesting anecdotes collected from Paul’s time working with the greatest Warhammer creators and the stories they shared over beers and years. The origins of the Chaos Dwarfs, grumpiness in the design studio, and the fabled Bryan Ansell memos make for some incredible tales!

Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy, Deathwatch, Only War, and Black Crusade - the Fantasy Flight RPGs that put players into the 41st millennium of Warhammer 40k. My guest today, Ross Watson, was a major player in the development of the games, joining FFG after a stint working on the US edition of White Dwarf.

We talk about adapting 40k to a roleplaying game format, how FFG worked, and how the games changed Warhammer.
