In Conversation with Jordan Sorcery

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.

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!
