Who's Kev Adams, and why is the name familiar?
Okay, seriously... Chances are if you think of a GW Ork or goblin from the 70s or 80s, Kev Adams either sculpted it or his work had a hand in inspiring the aesthetic. Prolific sculptor alongside the Perrys, and part of the rich garbled history of miniature wargaming. Always working, always hardworking.

On a personal appreciation level, Warmonger's GreensKins line is one of the most beautiful ideas I've come across in a while. And I shall tell to you for why...

In march 2013, Kev Adams was attacked in his own home by opportunist thieves.
He was stabbed in the face and chest, and they took a knuckle duster to his face and broke his cheek bones. He has had to undergo surgery and treatments for a long time since, but thankfully has been able to return to work.
On a physical level, this is horrifying enough. To be beaten in your own home, we all know that's gak beyond gak right there.

But from that gak, great things!
The sculpting and gaming community rallied round and raised awareness and funds for his recovery, with over 40 individual sculptors donating work to be sold in his name.
From this, Kev and folks around him were able to see quite how much of a gak was truly given about him and his work. The answer is.. a lot of gak. Many of them.

I can't say it was directly related, because I'm not privy to that, but during Kev's recovery, Bryan Ansell has set up Warmonger with Kev (or vice versa) so that the Goblinmaster can continue bringing tiny green delights to the world, in a concentrated form. This will include tons of back catalogue greenery, and tons of brand newness. A completionist's nightmare.



And even if you don't like orks, you at least learned yourself a thing today.
