Great interview, with some really insightful stuff (though not as many spoilers as I would have hoped for).

 

Sounds like the Dark Mechanicum book will be quite a labour of love for him as well.

 

As for who is writing what, hasn’t it been confirmed that the ‘new’ SG studio (headed by Andy Chambers) is doing everything AoD, Titanicus, Necromundas etc. already?

New voxcast interview with Darius Hinks: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LGjkd1QbygE

 

I was particularly interested by his preference to work collaboratively with other authors to showcase the same scenes from different perspectives. This is definitely something I feel 40k can always use more of.

Only listened to the first 35 minutes (thanks covid!).

 

Interesting how he comes across as almost 90 deg out from many of the complaints on here about "broken" lists etc. For me - who is only here for the fluff - it only confirms GW really don't go all out to satisfy the hard core gamers.

Jes is such a good speaker. Very chill and doesn't talk down to listeners about the design process. Every time I hear him speak about this kind of stuff it reminds me of the artistic effort that goes into a lot of GW design. Very clear that the AdMech was something of his baby, as good as it was that they both he and Darren were shouting out to the wider team.

 

The banter about John Blanche being (unsurprisingly) keen on the skitarii cavalry was hilarious as well: "John, you're only going to cut them up and stick other heads on them and stuff, you're not having them if you can't treat them with respect".

I also enjoyed their description of Blanche's Fabricator design sketch and how it would cover an entire game board by itself if they tried to produce a model!
