Warhammer 40k, part 3: The ones who made it.
WARHAMMER 40,000 MINI-SERIES: PART 3
with creators Rick Priestley & Andy Chambers
In this very special episode, we dive into a conversation with two of the creators of this tabletop war game, exploring its origins, influences, and the intricate balance between the macro and micro aspects of its universe.
As we sit down with Rick Priestley, one of the original creators of Warhammer 40,000 (and his dog Rosie). We unravel the game's genesis from a space trading RPG called Rogue Trader to the iconic tabletop war game it is today.
We also meet Andy Chambers, who apprenticed under Rick and took over the game in the 1990’s.
The episode delves into the blend of history, fantasy, and even the commercialism that shaped this intricate hobby.
