The creator of 40k and Warhammer Fantasy, Rick Priestley in conversation! Rick Priestley and his school friend Richard 'Hal' Halliwell created Warhammer Fantasy for Bryan Ansell at Citadel in 1983. After that Rick worked on 5 more editions of Fantasy, as well as Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, countless other games, and of course, also invented Warhammer 40,000.
With a lifetime of experience creating some of the greatest tabletop games in history it was my privilege to talk with Rick Priestley about how everything began, what it was like to work at Citadel and Games Workshop in the early days, and how things evolved.
Due to some technical issues with the video I have annotated several portions of our conversation with images from the archives - illustrating the games, people, and places that Rick describes in wonderful detail.
And if you want to see even more there is an extended version of my conversation with Rick available exclusively on my Patreon.
