Dice Men: The Origin Story of Games Workshop

Product Information

They went on to become bestselling authors and created an entirely new genre of interactive stories. The format lends itself to this kind of picture-gallery stuff, though it isn’t necessarily the style you’d want for reading an in-depth history.

The name continues, of course, but in terms of what the company is about, the one in Nottingham is really Citadel Miniatures wearing its dad’s suit.The stories highlight the difficulties in managing multiple products and companies, as well as handling the personal relationships that exist around business, helpful when old business partnerships are renewed. Da una visión distinta, enfocándose en lo que fue importante para esta persona y en su perspectiva (a veces agridulce) sobre ciertas personas y eventos, en algunos casos muy parcial. When Ian arrived home later that evening we excitedly told him of our plans, but it took him about 10 days or so to come around to the idea, following much cajoling, mainly by Steve.

Space Marines get just two mentions in the book – one a brief quote from Bob Naismith about sculpting the first metal one, and then a mention of the artwork on the RT cover. They expanded to include miniatures rules and eventually they started to expand horizontally into designing and manufacturing miniatures.And all that stuff about those fighting fantasy books - really want to revisit Firetop Mountain too now as well. A point I want to mention in Livingstone’s favour here is that this could easily be a hardscrabble story about two captains of industry making it big with nothing but a dream and gruelling work. All this is hinted at, but it goes largely unexplored – it comes up whenever Ansell’s latest resignation is mentioned, because it’s what every one of those resignation power plays is about, but Livingstone just kind of shrugs it off. The excuse of a ten-book Fighting Fantasy contract to deliver looks a little thin when you remember that just a few pages ago Livingstone mentions that they’d started subcontracting them out. It’s a publicly-traded company comfortably ensconced in the FTSE 250, with annual revenues that are positively eye-watering when you consider they come from selling toys to a relatively narrow audience of teens and adults who want their free time to be taken up by building and painting the things with which they then play pretend, or at least consider using to play pretend before realising it’s been another six months since they actually arranged a game.
