skylerboodie Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Really sad to hear of Brian's passing, at a relatively young age too. Jackson & Livingstone may get all the credit for creating Games Workshop but Brian was the driving force behind the miniatures side of the business, Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warhammer 40,000, and a lot of the foundational lore including the Chaos Gods etc. The single most important person in the history of our hobby. A devastating loss. RIP Brian, thank you for all that you gave us. Condolences to your family at this sad time.

01RTB01 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I saw this yesterday. Genuinely gutted. He was a complete legend and a lot of foundational lore was established by him. We owe him a huge debt and I'm sorry for his family and friends. May he rest in peace Vesalius and Kastor Krieg 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
