Duncan Rhodes in conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Duncan Rhodes joins me in conversation as we talk about his hobby and career with Games Workshop. Beginning with his obsession with 40k and then Warhammer Fantasy, then his first role in retail teaching customers how to play and paint, we talk about what motivates a lifetime in the hobby.
We also explore Duncan's move to head office, taking the opportunity to become the first painting presenter for Warhammer TV, and embarking on the huge risk to leave GW and start his own company - the phenomenally successful Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy. Not to mention creating his own paint range with Trans Atlantis Games, Two Thin Coats.
Duncan shares hilarious and earnest stories from his wonderful career, and delivers insights into the behind the scenes workings of Games Workshop during a fascinating era in their history. Plus, there's easter eggs and secrets too!

Kim Newman | Warhammer Author & Film Critic

Kim Newman in conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Kim Newman has had a long and successful career as an author famous for his Anno Dracula series, as a television personality, and as Empire's horror expert since the magazine's very first issue. But there is another aspect to the remarkable history of this remarkable writer - his time writing the very first Warhammer Fantasy novel, Drachenfels.
Under the banner of Games Workshop's first publishing imprint, GW Books, and the pseudonym Jack Yeovil, Kim Newman wrote a series of short stories and novels set in the fledgling Warhammer Fantasy world, as well as an intricately plotted dystopian tale set in the short-lived Mad Max fuelled world of Dark Future.
Kim talks to me about the beginnings of GW Books, his work for Games Workshop both published and unpublished, and returning to the characters years later to pen a new tale for the Black Library.
