Robin Dews on White Dwarf

Robin Dews White Dwarf is best White Dwarf. I occasionally find my son sneaking into my collection for a read, the appeal and charm of that era is timeless.

What an engaging, enthusiastic and wonderfully entertaining man. Great interview! And hats off to the great work Robin did that helped to inspire me!

Awesome video. "Everyone's got PVA glue, they can steal it from school if they can't get it from Games Workshop"😂 Big thanks to Mr. Dews and everyone else involved!!

I know it says 35minutes, but bloody hell Mr Dews goes at apace! Over 1 hour of content condensed down! , keep up listeners Robin about to begin!

I always loved the humour in the narrative reports of this era. They weren't just compelling and entertaining, they were funny. That's the skill of a good editor, to add those extra elements in. For the Gathering Storm the thing I'll always remember is the sheer effort put into getting Adrian Wood to learn how to estimate ranges correctly for a game he had never played, only for all his war machines to keep blowing up anyway! Perfect Warhammer. Getting into the game in the late 80's, it truly was a golden time to be a fan for that 88-98 era. I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to have worked there.

I first met Robin at the old HQ in Lenton, Nottingham, in '98... an absolutely amazing tour of the the facilities and what was going on. He was magnanimous and welcoming. A transformative time for Games Workshop and White Dwarf in which I felt oh so very grateful for the snippet of time I was there. What a wonderous hobby we have and it's even more wonderful in part thanks to Robin Dews!

I love all of these interviews so much

I absolutely adored the battle reports he started. They where so much cooler than the ones we get today

I loved the Robin era of White Dwarf. The first issues I read (borrowed from a friend's brother) were from his time. First issue I ever bought myself with pocket money was his era. I loved the cool battle reports and the cornflake box scenery guides. Those were the days.

I have every single one of these issues. I never realized how big a role Robin had in my childhood. I must have spent hours looking at the page at 18:37 showing Mike McVey's wood elf army. Particularly his wardancer chieftain with a frost blade on the hawk. It was the wardancer champion model from Skarloc's wood elf archers regiments of renowned box, which I had, and quickly set about repainting to approximate what I saw here. Thanks Robin!!

This is a really good format, bringing someone and having them explain the stuff that influenced them

Thanks for making this series ⚒️

This channel is an absolute treasure trove.

As Robin started putting the Squad Leader boards together and spoke about how they could go together in multiple ways, I immediately thought of his Epic 40k boards and, seconds later, the man himself mentions them. I loved them and always use that article as a template when I build stuff.

What a wonderfully energetic presentation. Unfortunately I didn't know about Warhammer or White Dwarf yet when Robin Dews was running the magazine. Despite it being a marketing tool those magazines very much have a feel of 'for gamers, by gamers'.

Really enjoyed the interview. White dwarf brought me so much joy. Thank you

Robin, such a talent. I am so glad he is still out there doing great things like talking miniatures.

Absolutely delightful! Narrative battle-reports are far more entertaining than reading dice-logs!

So great to hear Robins memories. Inbuilt that house as a kid!

Got a bit excited when i saw the advert for 'Orks Nest' Fond memories of going there on family trips to London! - Holy hell, this video has been a roller coaster of emotions....every edition of WD he showed I could remember fondly! I wish i'd kept them all now!
