There's also like 30 seconds right at the end where he mentions his famous Skaven army. Perhaps a future video aha.

Working at GW in the '90's must've been an absolutely quality time. Such an amazing era.
-
This era of games workshop was a huge part of my childhood. Great to hear from Andy Chambers, such a cool guy 😎
-
I loathe what 40k has become, and remember learning 3rd edition in the early 00's fondly.
-
Man, reading through those old battle reports was the best. I would pour over them again and again. I loved the setup of the overhead map with icons and movement arrows. Great stuff. Thank you, Mr. Chambers for your work!
-
Andy’s Skaven army showcase in that WD article is the reason why I play Skaven today. At the time, it captured a vibe that the studio armies didn’t.

2nd edition was my introduction to WH 40k my mate and myself at 11yrs old saved our paperound money and went halves on the set. today i just bought the complete set on ebay for £120 with all models unpainted too, im giving it my mate for his 40th birthday super nostalgia

Andy Chambers is the one who made all of my favourite elements from GW, the Doctrines of the Guard Codex, Battle Fleet Gothic, some really obscure stories from Inferno I doubt anyone else remembers, I havent really played 40k since 5th came out, but I still build Guard Armies around the Doctrines from that codex because it gave a really good way to structure a force for a modelling and conversion project. Thanks Andy, your contribution to 40k was a big part of shaping my love for it!

I wrote to Games Workshop with a hand drawn table suggesting changes to the Warp Missile rules in epic Space Marine (which were game-breakingly unbalanced). I recieved a reply from Andy Chambers with a printout of his own identical table saying "here's one I made earlier!" Cheers Andy!

Back in the 90s Andy came to our little convention in Sweden. We had a fun time. He then hosted me and my buddy when we visited him in Nottingham. He gave us the VIP Games Workshop treatment as well as a visit to the pub, The Trip to Jerusalem. Good times. Great guy!
-
I just want Andy to know that there are some of us who consider Epic 40k 3rd edition to be a masterpiece of game design. He (and Rick) talk about it is all these interviews, and it seems like a sore spot. People didn't know what good game design was back then, they just feared change.
-
First time hearing the Overfiend. Thanks for everything Mr.Chambers.
-
2nd edition 40k everybody explains it as crazy and overcomplicated but have you realised everybodys face when it comes up in every video they are beaming and you can almost see the fun in them. Best Times :)
-
Fascinating that Andy reflects on I-go you-go as a flawed model, which many gamers know all to well, and yet it still persists today in GWs big game systems.
-
Andy should do his own YouTube channel and just talk about games.
-
After playing rogue trader for years, 2nd edition was the edition I introduced my younger brother to 40k. He immediately discovered the joys of a massive ball of space wolf terminators, which he made me paint.. 2nd edition was an absolute nightmare for me from that point on and I was so so happy when 3rd came out and he had an org chart he had to stick to now.
-
[💀✠3rd EDITION ✠💀] I'll never forget walking through the Downtown Shopping Center, looking in the GW Window; and seeing that gorgeous John Blanch BT ARTWORK Spread advertising 40K 3E (& I immediately jumped in & bought the 2nd last copy they had left in stock) What a _*Great Game Edition‼
-
Man, it really is gratifying to hear one of The Big Warhammer guys agree that IGYG should have been dropped! I've been homebrewing alternating activations into 10e 40K, and the pacing feels so much better.
-
I love that Andy apparently has a whole range of Whippy Sticks at his desk. Always prepared! Listening to him reminisce about the old days is so fascinating, especially if you still remember that era as a teenager.
-
I remember being in Newbury Comics in Boston in 93. I was on my honeymoon for the day before heading out and I saw 2nd edition I think. I grabbed it and the art looked familiar. Then it hit me. Bolt Thrower. I'm a metal guitarist and Bolt Thrower was super heavy and always about war. I almost bought it right there. Wish I had. I would still have it.
-
Fascinating to hear from the man himself on this era, especially thoughts on the "I go, you go" mode of play that has plagued us till this day XD
