Are you guys thinking of Guy Haley? He did some writing for Mantic, I believe works for BL as well.

...so that would explain why Andy Chambers is now writing fiction for GW?

Having seen Mongoose's attempts to make a successful miniatures game, I doubt that GW ever considered them a serious competitor...

Besides the fact there probably isn't one company GW considers a serious competitr, I was refering more to dust warfare, which was Andy Chambers not Andy Hoare as just mentioned. The point is Rick Priestley talks crap.

In most careers it's usually the company you are with at the time who don't like you fraternising with rivals. Paul Sawyer probably refused in respect to that.

Why does Rick Priestly talk crap? I thought he has always sounded pretty conscientious the few times he has been interviewed or written comments about stuff?

And why would Warlord Games view GW as a rival? GW don't even do historical stuff any more, and all of the guys who used to do that side of the business for them have left. Tiny company of which Sawyer is a senior member as well, I can't imagine anyone telling him not to talk to anyone at GW?!
