Speaking of Mark Gibbons, and forgive me if this isn't the thread, Mark Gibbons has teamed up with Andy Chambers to release a second edition of Dark Deeds. I've got the first and it's a blast. Artwork is amazing and the game is a laugh:
I've watched the videos with Bob Naismith (who'd already told most of his part in the Space Marine story on The Painting Phase). He was one of my favourite Citadel sculptors 'back in the day', and seems to be still be going strong. But I also watched the videos with John Blanche, and was saddened by how frail he looks (did anyone else think he sounds like Mick Jones from The Clash?). I have mixed feelings about his art - I think he's a great concept artist, but I don't love his style - but he must be one of the central figures in everything that 'Warhammer' has become. He doesn't model any more, which is a real pity. Nevertheless, it's great that someone is capturing these peoples' recollections and views while they are still with us. Andy Chambers is charming, and also seems to still be going strong, and I want to watch Adi Wood as he was a big influence on my Ork army back in 3rd Edition.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
There's been too many of these to really keep up with from the same sources as the others linked to here, but this one popped up this morning and was from a different source - Tabletop Tactics have a forty minute interview with Sir Ian Livingstone about the founding of GW.
