The Making of Warhammer | Part One: Birth of the Beast

Part one of the complete making of Warhammer - a series looking at the development and release of the greatest war game in tabletop history! From its roots in a skirmish game created by two school friends to a runaway success poised to change an industry, part one covers the work of Richard Halliwell, Rick Priestley, and Bryan Ansell as they create the first two versions of Warhammer for Citadel Miniatures and parent company Games Workshop.
