Hey guy, I had basically given up on the hobby until I discovered your channel, you inspired me to start painting again(currently painting my black stone fortress box set using your guides) and now I have an almost 2000 point necron army. Thanks for the awesome content dude, can’t wait for more videos.
When the note mentioned to bring it to a games workshop store to get a paint starter set for £5 i was half expecting a cutaway to an actual warhammer store and seeing if it worked.
that's CAD for you. it's nice getting more minis per sprue, but i do miss the simpler construction of models… interchangable arms and things, being able to pose the same model a variety of ways out of the box. most of gw's kits now seem to be a collection of models in set poses that you may or may not have one or two different head/weapon options for… and since a kit usually contains multiples of the same sprue, you often end up with pairs of models in the exact same pose.
Many complex cavities on the same sprue requires a lot of finesse when designing the plates, or you'll end up with trapped airbubbles and partial flow. I think GW just didn't have the knowhow yet.
As for being too old to get excited about building a toy fort - here's a quote from George Bernard Shaw: "We don't stop playing games because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing games."
Yea... I think a number of adults and already older teenagers don't dare showing interest in such things because they don't want to be called a manchild, wierdo etc. I guess there is a lot of artificial peer pressure for adults or older teens not to do stuff like building Lego stuff, Tabletop games... I personally couldn't understand how so many people in my school had completely removed every single toy from their rooms. No Legos, no plushies, no pirate ship on top of the wardrobe... Nothing! As from one day to the other interest in fiddling around with littel figures and their vehicles and houses vanished... Its kinda sad that a lot of people stil consider the urge to play as something immature.
Same, I've still got a pot of enchanted blue and the paint's still great. Clearly GW had to change their paint pots to get people to rebuy paint as it dried up.
@@DtLS I found that the paint pots died before the paint did. Well, more specifically the lids cracked and fell apart. I had to retire a few of the old paints due to this.
That was a great decision to feature Andy Chamber's newest game BRS. But this segment now caused me to have the song "10 German bombers" stuck in my ear. I recall how at the World Cup 2006 here in Germany you Brits sang it quite a lot ;)
It's great to hear from people like Andy Chambers and Bob Naismith, hearing their memories about how they created so many great things about our hobby. Combining your interview with Andry Chambers and your Gorkamorka unboxing was a great way to give the video both great audio and video content. :-)
Andy Chambers is/was my absolute favorite GW designer and gamer. His battle reports in White Dwarf in the 1990s were astounding, and his personality toward the games made him so much fun to follow. His appearance as "Lord Varlak" in the 'Heretic' battle report in WD 187 (1995) was hilarious!
Fully agree with you opening the box and the ethos that these games are meant to be built, painted and played. As someone fairly new to the hobby side of Warhammer after being into the lore since my teenage years, its really interesting and fun to see the retro stuff and get an insight into how it all came together from the people who were there!
I really love these interviews with the creators. There's so much information on 40k's in-game history, but so few resources talking about its real world development history.
Love this, and the surprise of the interview being included was great. Andy Chambers, Rick Priestley and Jervis Johnston were responsible for many many happy hours of my teenage years, between games and time just spent just flicking through rulebooks, codexes and issues of white dwarf. It’s always good to hear a bit from one of them.
I was there! I worked at GW in the United States Trade Sales team when this was released, and this brought back soooooo many memories. One fun piece of trivia: there was a thought at the time that introducing lore through other games would help solidify narratives going forward. In that vein, the art in this set included the first (for suitable values of "first") art of Necrons!
Don't worry Guy, I'm a 57 year old man with kids, a job that's life and death at times, responsibilities etc etc, and I was totally excited to see that fort come together! It's inspired me to scratch build a copy.
Got GorkaMorka back when it released as I was big into Orks, and loved playing it. Was going through the garage the other day and found all my old minis for it including the ones for the Digganob expansion
Man, that was some concentrated notalgia injection for me, Gorkamorka was my first taste ever of wargaming back when for some unknown reason my mother decided to buy it for us to assemble and paint together when I was a wee lad. Thank you so much for doing this, hope you'll be able to do a couple of battle reports from it!
The most worrying part of this is that there's apparently been more time since Andy Chambers left GW than he spent there in total. Andy Chambers, Rick Priestly and Jervis Johnson are GW as far as my brain is concerned.
Not really worrying, I'm glad to know he's gone on to make new things (didn't know he did Blood Red Skies but long knew about it). Same case with Rick Priestly, he's made great games at Warlord Games (same company) with Bolt Action and Beyond the Gates of Antares - which seemed like a passion project for him making a hard sci-fi setting for a game when he's done interviews etc. Also Alessio Cavatore, another core GW old timer, has made a lot of games with Mantic (Kings of War), and the new rank-flank game Conquest the Last Argument of Kings with Parabellum Games. So, it's bittersweet that they aren't at the helm of the grimdarkness, but they've moved on to make new systems, and may be happier with more creative room :)
Don't forget Gav Thorpe! Poor Paul Sawyer is often overlooked, as well. I know these guys didn't show up until 2nd. Edition 40k, but they helped establish much of the fluff and setting that went into 3rd. and 4th. Edition. Gav Thorpe basically wrote all of the fluff behind the Sisters of Battle. Paul Sawyer made a bunch of contributions here and there, mostly short stories you'd read in the margins of each codex.
Thanks for putting this video together! I just got my own intact starter box a few months ago and I can't wait to dive in, take pictures and document it!
Awesome video, can’t think why I’ve not found your channel before, lived the content and the way you put it together. I missed this game myself, I was in my second year at uni in 97, trying to pretend I wasn’t a nerd.
I love Gorkamorka, still have the box displayed on my top shelf for the artwork! You have the original stuff from the box but if anyone else is interested ive recreated the Fort, Tower and Turny Gubbin, as well as the Rebel Grot vehicles to widen access to now quite rare and expensive kits in the form of free 3d printable files. Great vid and always nice hearing from AC :)
Andy Chambers is an absolute legend. I remeber getting his autograph in the Friar Lane store in Nottingham on the launch weekend of 40K 3rd edition. Just like the 40K 2nd edition video, the nostalgia is strong here. When I dropped out of the hobby 20-ish years ago I sold 99% of the boxed games and minis I owned. I hurts my soul to think that I once had Gorkamorka, originial Necromunda + Outlanders, Warhammer Quest, original Blood Bowl, Mordheim, Warhammer Fantasy 5th edition + Warhammer Magic, and 40K 2nd & 3rd editions. It's bittersweet watching these videos but I'm looking forward to more.
I remember playing this game in my local GW in Derby as a young.I was 14 at the time, good times, back when the stores had about 3 or 4 staff members on always busy with people playing games or painting models. Many hours spent in the store playing games.
As much fun as it is watching that old gem of a game getting unboxed, I would have liked to hear the entire interview. Andy Chambers was part of the team that made Games Workshop so great, back in the days. Things just haven't been the same since he left. Or perhaps he left because things weren't the same back then...
Excellent and extremely well produced content! When you tell about your own childhood memories and years without the hobby, it reminds me a lot about myself.. I was involved in Blood Bowl all the way back in the eighties and had a break from board games for just about 25 years, And I get a lot of good memory, vintage vibes from these retro videos. 👍
That's amazing you got to chat with Andy, there is sooo much I'd love to ask him. All of the stuff I love most was written by him. And I'd love for him to make a new battle fleet gothic.
Got me with the intro feels again. I was 17 and only had to worry about having enough scratch left over at the end of the week for a battlefleet gothic blister pack. Edit: holy bollocks it's Andy Chambers.
And when you'll be an 86 year old man with lots of grand (and possibly great-grand) children, 4 dozen businesses and a couple of mansions, never, ever lose that enthusiasm for the joyful things in life! I'm in my 50s now and the impacts are coming closer but as long as we're alive on the inside, we're alive. Do keep 'em coming, and never lose that spark! 🍻👍
Oh man i love the specialist games! The normal WH games of 40k sigmar and fantasy are good. But the specialist games are so diverse in their scope! Innovative with great miniatures. And sometimes surprisingly affordable compared to the main game. I also really like the interviews with the veterans of our hobby! It is an honour to hear tham out, and to learn WH’s history from first hand accounts. Plus it is very unique and original when you compare MM to other painting channels.
Super excited to see someone actually cover gorkamorka! Ive only seen pictures of the box/learning about the goofy lore and stuff. Awesome to see you dive into the box and talk about its history
I just found a bunch of Gorkamorka models this past weekend, so this video is very timely. Loved the interview, Andy Chambers was a bit of a hero of mine when I was a young teenager designing games in my room, very cool. My 5 year old decided the Gorkamorka Orks are his army and he is going to paint them, wish me luck!
I miss playing this game. It was one of the teaching tools I used in a club I ran in a little town at the end of the 90s. Loved your interview with Andy. He was a massive part of my formative wargaming years.
I'm 50 and I still get excited building this kind of stuff. The new Ork terrain in the new Killteam box is what made me buy it. I painted it all in about a week.
Guy I absolutely love that you're able to have these awesome interviews while showing some hobby classics. It's so cool to see and hear the history from the people who started it all, especially for someone new to the hobby like myself.
Almost squealed when I heard Andy Chambers, he was such a big influence on my "first time" with Warhammer. Still have a Battlefleet Gothic box in my loft!
I continue to be amazed at the quality of content you are putting out. I know I should be expecting it by now, but you manage to keep my attention better than any other youtube channel. You're a hobby hero!
Can't thank you enough for pulling this together, great to hear from Andy. Still hoping for an official re-release one day, the current Ork range is perfect for it.
love that you are bringing back the old guard to talk about design lightly. I am and have always been a fan on the sidelines but never really engaged beyond painting. I love design, products, world building and thought processes so I really enjoy this content.
“how warhammer art has changed over the years” That sounds so interesting. I would love in particular to know more about how the factors that made the game and setting look the way it did changed over time. I’m sure GW has teams of dedicated illustrators, sculptors, 3D modelers etc now, but back in the day were the same people drawing the art and designing the figures?
One of the best games Gw ever made, on my second game i boosted across the map and just kept boosting in true orky fashion until i lost control crashed in a barrier and injured enough of my mob that i had to make a bottle out roll, of course i failed and my opponent won the game without even touching his minis or a single dice :D One of my boyz lost a leg and my nob ended up with a iron lung….great times lol!
Only recently picked up the wargaming hobby again after a long hiatus. For me it seems my life is so much stuff and complex that just opening a simple box with plastic, putting it together and painting it is nice and simple. Having said that there are stormcasts waiting for some paint. Thank you for the channel and all the hints, tips and 🤩
I love this set, I think I have a couple of them tucked away somewhere, at least with all the card and books and stuff in them. This all came out at a time when books like Waaagh da Orks, 'Ere We Go, and Freebooterz were still in recent memory, and this fits so well with the stories of ork society in those books. One of the really big things that I love about this is the ork "speech" at the time, a lot of it just comes across as a Nottingham accent with a bit more growl, hearing and seeing it again just reminds me of people that I have heard locally... I would love to see this all come back again.
Ah, amazing, Guy! I've been looking on eBay for this set and the Mordheim set for quite some time now. They rarely pop up and when they do, the prices are insane.
That may be the best unboxing video I've seen; having the designer interview clips was very cool. I echo the sentiment that you should absolutely take that coupon to your local game store and see what they say.
Damn that fort is sick!!!! I forgot how good it was! I do like how you get people like Andy on the channel to interview, its really nice to hear the designers perspective.
Probably my all time favourite GW game… it was fun, fast paced and captured the imagination on the table as well as on the hobby side… encouraging kit bashing and creativity!… bring it back GW! I miss the good ol days!
Love it! And yes please, get that 2nd Edition box set finished! That was the first video of yours that I watched when you put it out, and I've been watching closely and waiting patiently... :)
Mate this is so nostalgic! Especially the intro. I remember i couldn't believe the amount i got in the box and the lore. Let alone that was all the same year.
Such a good series Guy. Also, remembering the early videos, your editing, video length and look and feel are really top notch now (I mean, they were pretty high quality even then!). Hats off good sir.
Great video and great interview! I’ve met Andy a number of times and he’s always been a great guy every time, going all the way back to… ‘96/‘97 actually (the big hair days!). I got a chance to demo Gorkamorka @ a GW store in the UK when it was new (during my honeymoon, weirdly enough) but didn’t pick up the game until many years later. Just like you, I fixed the edges of my fort, so nice job on doing that bit. 👍
Hey guy you have inspired me to get into this stuff because, back when we were all stuck at are homes I found your channel and now I have an old necromunda box set and you now got me in to orks because I LOVE Mad Max keep up your good work FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adding my voice to the 'more interviews and stuff' chant Phil Kelly would be great to hear from. Not sure if he is still at GW though Edit: Mr Kelly is Creative Lead on AoS so very much 'still at GW'.
Gorkamorka was so fun, never had the box set but me and my brother had the rules and used to play together when we were kids using the 40k ork kits that could easily proxy the Gorkamorka stuff. Such a funny little game with so many moments that stuck with you for years. Hands down one of the most fun experiences I've had playing any GW system.
As a fellow 30 something with a partner and a full time job, I'm here to tell you that the best part of growing up is that you get to decide what is silly for you, and what isn't. And being old enough not to care if anyone else thinks you're ridiculous.
The nostalgia is heavy with this one. I remember picking Gorkamorka up at Games Day. Reading it back on the coach is a fun memory. My old local GW store want mad for it! Also remember the shop window advert for it... 'HOW HARD ARE YER NOBZ!' With a picture of an Ork Nob. Unsurprisingly a few parents complained about that one!
Great video Guy! I used to play Gorkamorka with my brother. I got my copy from a friend, the box had a hole in it and the story was that GW staff (can't recall if it was in store or at a games day) where purposely damaging the boxes and selling them off cheap. Good Times!
I loved Gorkamorka so much. Such a fun game and I was always a little disappointed that it never really got the support that the other skirmish games got. While I don't play 40k or Fantasy anymore (or AoS before someone says anything), if they brought back Gorkamorka, well...I'd be the first one lining up for it.
Love it! Unfortunately, I'd grown out of the Hobby by this point - my haitus was 1991-2018. Back now, fully reimmersed with my son. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
I'm newer to 40K so I really enjoy these types of videos to give me some history and look at how things have evolved in models/paints/rules today. Pretty cool to see the changes
Ah, those boxed sets were amazing. I wish I still had my 2nd edition 40k box, just to put it on a shelf and display it like the piece of art it is. Sigh... been pining for it for years now. Also, it's really amazing that you got to speak to Andy Chambers, amazing game designer and eternal nemesis of Jervis Johnson on WD battle reports.
I remember going to down to the Grand Reopening (remember those?) of GW Worcester, standing in a long queue in the cold with my friend Andy and our dads, then buying the Gorkamorka box and a bunch of extra stuff using some of the vouchers printed especially by GW for their opening/reopening events (remember those?). Andy and I then spent the whole weekend putting together our models and terrain then playing some brilliant games of Gorkamorka across what I think was a table tennis table with the net removed. Gorkamorka was easily one of the best games I played during my pre-teen/teen GW phase - the campaign rules were brilliant, the ramshackle nature of the models made converting the vehicles and scratch building terrain a joy, and it was just a lot of fun to play a game that didn’t take itself at all seriously. I still have all the rules (including the expansion, Digganob) and all of the models (none of which are painted, predictably). I suspect the cardboard terrain is long gone, but it feels like a game that I could have a lot of fun with again nearly 25 years later.
I'm 36 and I love this shit. I bought GM the day before the official release at my local GW, after we all got back from Gamesday! I was so happy to be the first one in my town to own it. I made some awesome kustom truks which I still have. GM has a special place in my heart, I loved watching this vid. I want more interviews with old GW staff! They designed our childhoods and many memories now.

I know, right? I absolutely love making them :)
@@MidwinterMinis Hint for a next one: Mordheim...
Yes! It’s so cool. This is the sort of content I would have expected from Warhammer+
I agree. These have been just awesome.
Hey guy, I had basically given up on the hobby until I discovered your channel, you inspired me to start painting again(currently painting my black stone fortress box set using your guides) and now I have an almost 2000 point necron army. Thanks for the awesome content dude, can’t wait for more videos.
More power to you buddy!
Wow! That's a fantastic achievement, great job :)
Same @ethan gamer

I did the same. Congrats and stay with it! Guy's videos introduce all of the basic concepts so by the end, You can paint anything.
Andy Chambers is the GOAT of old GW, he was behind so many excellent projects.
Absolutely, and what a total gent for getting involved!
@@MidwinterMinis Another interview/stuff video. Gonna say it again, no one else is doing this and its the best type of content.
He also sounds a bit like John peel
He had some epic hair back in the day.
I always keep an eye on his projects, he always has something interesting coming out.
When the note mentioned to bring it to a games workshop store to get a paint starter set for £5 i was half expecting a cutaway to an actual warhammer store and seeing if it worked.
If the store manager honors your gorkamorka coupon he is an absolute chad
I was seriously considering it.
@@MidwinterMinis dooo ittt!
@@MidwinterMinis Do it
@@MidwinterMinis do it
I almost forgot how much empty space were on sprues on older kits. Now almost every part of the sprue is packed with something.
Totally! You could have probably fitted another 3 or 4 oil barrels easily on those accessory sprues.
One of the things modern warhammer has now
@@minishaw280 sad but true *guitar riffs*

@@annasstorybox7906 Complex games keep your brain from degrading with age. Our culture is broken.
As a 26 year old man; I approve of building forts and giggling maniacally while putting plastic soldiers on the ramparts.
The interviews you've been getting lately are fantastic! Keep it up, really adds an extra bit of interest and perspective on these kits as old as I am
100%
Those paint pots are insane. I found some at my parents house that are probably close to 30 years old, and they paint it still perfect.
Same, I've still got a pot of enchanted blue and the paint's still great. Clearly GW had to change their paint pots to get people to rebuy paint as it dried up.
Me too, still using a couple (even older, the paint line before that one) it’s slightly jelly-like but paints fine with a bit of water

Totally got goose bumps when Andy Chambers voice came on. Always loved getting inspiration from his ork army in the old 3rd edition codex.
Was that really him? I honestly thought the narrator was just deepening his voice?

I am super jealous of both your Gorkamorka box and the fact that you got to chat with Andy Chambers
I cannot imagine how much you wanted to say "You've been handy, Chambers" throughout the conversation and burn that bridge forever
The most worrying part of this is that there's apparently been more time since Andy Chambers left GW than he spent there in total. Andy Chambers, Rick Priestly and Jervis Johnson are GW as far as my brain is concerned.

Man that was epic, right in the nostalic feels for me , GOMO is what got me into GW . Very cool to hear Andy Chambers voice after all these years
You got to interview Andy Freaking Chambers?!?! Holy shit - thanks so much for sharing!
Don't feel bad about being 36 and excited about a toy fort. My Dad is in his 60's and enjoys building toy forts as well

And when you'll be an 86 year old man with lots of grand (and possibly great-grand) children, 4 dozen businesses and a couple of mansions, never, ever lose that enthusiasm for the joyful things in life! I'm in my 50s now and the impacts are coming closer but as long as we're alive on the inside, we're alive. Do keep 'em coming, and never lose that spark! 🍻👍
I recently started painting 40k and absolutely love your channel. Thank you for the tutorials and phenomenal content!
Oh man i love the specialist games!
The normal WH games of 40k sigmar and fantasy are good. But the specialist games are so diverse in their scope! Innovative with great miniatures.
And sometimes surprisingly affordable compared to the main game.
I also really like the interviews with the veterans of our hobby! It is an honour to hear tham out, and to learn WH’s history from first hand accounts.
Plus it is very unique and original when you compare MM to other painting channels.
I remember playing a test game of Gorkamorka at the local game store down the street from my school. I absolutely loved it.
The production value on these retro videos are phenomenal!
Super excited to see someone actually cover gorkamorka! Ive only seen pictures of the box/learning about the goofy lore and stuff. Awesome to see you dive into the box and talk about its history
Dude! Youre smashing it with the interviews of these classic GW designers.
I just found a bunch of Gorkamorka models this past weekend, so this video is very timely. Loved the interview, Andy Chambers was a bit of a hero of mine when I was a young teenager designing games in my room, very cool.
My 5 year old decided the Gorkamorka Orks are his army and he is going to paint them, wish me luck!
I miss playing this game. It was one of the teaching tools I used in a club I ran in a little town at the end of the 90s.
Loved your interview with Andy. He was a massive part of my formative wargaming years.
I'm 50 and I still get excited building this kind of stuff. The new Ork terrain in the new Killteam box is what made me buy it. I painted it all in about a week.
Guy I absolutely love that you're able to have these awesome interviews while showing some hobby classics. It's so cool to see and hear the history from the people who started it all, especially for someone new to the hobby like myself.
Guy take the offer in.
If there is no expire date the offer is still good.
Which wording would they use. The £5 or the half price?
Almost squealed when I heard Andy Chambers, he was such a big influence on my "first time" with Warhammer. Still have a Battlefleet Gothic box in my loft!
These retro unboxing videos have really taken me back to my teens, keep up the great work.
I continue to be amazed at the quality of content you are putting out. I know I should be expecting it by now, but you manage to keep my attention better than any other youtube channel. You're a hobby hero!
Super-excited for your exploration of the art over time. Thanks for all you do.
Can't thank you enough for pulling this together, great to hear from Andy. Still hoping for an official re-release one day, the current Ork range is perfect for it.
love that you are bringing back the old guard to talk about design lightly. I am and have always been a fan on the sidelines but never really engaged beyond painting. I love design, products, world building and thought processes so I really enjoy this content.
You have to arrange Jervis and Andy for some 2nd Edition 40k battle report commentary. Relive some of those classic WD battle reports.
Absolutely amazing. Looking forward to more videos like this. Keep up the good work.
“how warhammer art has changed over the years” That sounds so interesting. I would love in particular to know more about how the factors that made the game and setting look the way it did changed over time. I’m sure GW has teams of dedicated illustrators, sculptors, 3D modelers etc now, but back in the day were the same people drawing the art and designing the figures?
Andy Chambers… man I remember his face from white dwarf. When ever you saw that face on a battle report you knew you were in for a good time.
Great video. It reminded me of watching people playing this back when I was a little one wandering the local game shop.
Loved the interview! Retro stuff is always fun too :)
One of the best games Gw ever made, on my second game i boosted across the map and just kept boosting in true orky fashion until i lost control crashed in a barrier and injured enough of my mob that i had to make a bottle out roll, of course i failed and my opponent won the game without even touching his minis or a single dice :D One of my boyz lost a leg and my nob ended up with a iron lung….great times lol!
I'm loving this newest style of video, it's so great to hear from the people who were living this history back in the 90s! Nice one Guy!
I have 40K Epic and Gorkamorka, as I was painting and playing them back then, when I was in my 30's. Cool to see a video on them.
that sigh at the end 😆😆👌 Wow, Andy Chambers... takes me back so many years! Another great vid
I was an avid White Dwarf reader back in the day and it's great to hear Andy Chambers and find he's still doing well.
Only recently picked up the wargaming hobby again after a long hiatus. For me it seems my life is so much stuff and complex that just opening a simple box with plastic, putting it together and painting it is nice and simple. Having said that there are stormcasts waiting for some paint. Thank you for the channel and all the hints, tips and 🤩
I love this set, I think I have a couple of them tucked away somewhere, at least with all the card and books and stuff in them. This all came out at a time when books like Waaagh da Orks, 'Ere We Go, and Freebooterz were still in recent memory, and this fits so well with the stories of ork society in those books. One of the really big things that I love about this is the ork "speech" at the time, a lot of it just comes across as a Nottingham accent with a bit more growl, hearing and seeing it again just reminds me of people that I have heard locally... I would love to see this all come back again.
Ah, amazing, Guy! I've been looking on eBay for this set and the Mordheim set for quite some time now. They rarely pop up and when they do, the prices are insane.
That may be the best unboxing video I've seen; having the designer interview clips was very cool. I echo the sentiment that you should absolutely take that coupon to your local game store and see what they say.
Man, I love that you’re interviewing the people who made these. As someone who didn’t get into the hobby until a few years ago, this is fascinating!
Good one Guy, great to hear from Andy Chambers, you're vintage unboxing videos are a real time machine. 🤘
the interviews really make these unboxing videos stand out ! please continue with this :)
Damn that fort is sick!!!! I forgot how good it was! I do like how you get people like Andy on the channel to interview, its really nice to hear the designers perspective.
Probably my all time favourite GW game… it was fun, fast paced and captured the imagination on the table as well as on the hobby side… encouraging kit bashing and creativity!… bring it back
GW! I miss the good ol days!
Love it! And yes please, get that 2nd Edition box set finished! That was the first video of yours that I watched when you put it out, and I've been watching closely and waiting patiently... :)
Mate this is so nostalgic! Especially the intro. I remember i couldn't believe the amount i got in the box and the lore. Let alone that was all the same year.
Such a good series Guy. Also, remembering the early videos, your editing, video length and look and feel are really top notch now (I mean, they were pretty high quality even then!). Hats off good sir.
Great video and great interview! I’ve met Andy a number of times and he’s always been a great guy every time, going all the way back to… ‘96/‘97 actually (the big hair days!). I got a chance to demo Gorkamorka @ a GW store in the UK when it was new (during my honeymoon, weirdly enough) but didn’t pick up the game until many years later. Just like you, I fixed the edges of my fort, so nice job on doing that bit. 👍
Hey guy you have inspired me to get into this stuff because, back when we were all stuck at are homes I found your channel and now I have an old necromunda box set and you now got me in to orks because I LOVE Mad Max keep up your good work
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adding my voice to the 'more interviews and stuff' chant
Phil Kelly would be great to hear from. Not sure if he is still at GW though
Edit: Mr Kelly is Creative Lead on AoS so very much 'still at GW'.
Gorkamorka was so fun, never had the box set but me and my brother had the rules and used to play together when we were kids using the 40k ork kits that could easily proxy the Gorkamorka stuff. Such a funny little game with so many moments that stuck with you for years. Hands down one of the most fun experiences I've had playing any GW system.
As a fellow 30 something with a partner and a full time job, I'm here to tell you that the best part of growing up is that you get to decide what is silly for you, and what isn't. And being old enough not to care if anyone else thinks you're ridiculous.
The nostalgia is heavy with this one. I remember picking Gorkamorka up at Games Day. Reading it back on the coach is a fun memory.
My old local GW store want mad for it!
Also remember the shop window advert for it...
'HOW HARD ARE YER NOBZ!' With a picture of an Ork Nob.
Unsurprisingly a few parents complained about that one!
Great video Guy! I used to play Gorkamorka with my brother. I got my copy from a friend, the box had a hole in it and the story was that GW staff (can't recall if it was in store or at a games day) where purposely damaging the boxes and selling them off cheap. Good Times!
This was a pleasure to watch. So many memories of the 90’s :)
I love videos like this. They're so chill.
I loved Gorkamorka so much. Such a fun game and I was always a little disappointed that it never really got the support that the other skirmish games got. While I don't play 40k or Fantasy anymore (or AoS before someone says anything), if they brought back Gorkamorka, well...I'd be the first one lining up for it.
Love it! Unfortunately, I'd grown out of the Hobby by this point - my haitus was 1991-2018. Back now, fully reimmersed with my son. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Good memories of Gorkamorka, would love to hear more of your interview with Andy.
I'm newer to 40K so I really enjoy these types of videos to give me some history and look at how things have evolved in models/paints/rules today. Pretty cool to see the changes
Ah, those boxed sets were amazing. I wish I still had my 2nd edition 40k box, just to put it on a shelf and display it like the piece of art it is. Sigh... been pining for it for years now. Also, it's really amazing that you got to speak to Andy Chambers, amazing game designer and eternal nemesis of Jervis Johnson on WD battle reports.
I remember going to down to the Grand Reopening (remember those?) of GW Worcester, standing in a long queue in the cold with my friend Andy and our dads, then buying the Gorkamorka box and a bunch of extra stuff using some of the vouchers printed especially by GW for their opening/reopening events (remember those?).
Andy and I then spent the whole weekend putting together our models and terrain then playing some brilliant games of Gorkamorka across what I think was a table tennis table with the net removed.
Gorkamorka was easily one of the best games I played during my pre-teen/teen GW phase - the campaign rules were brilliant, the ramshackle nature of the models made converting the vehicles and scratch building terrain a joy, and it was just a lot of fun to play a game that didn’t take itself at all seriously.
I still have all the rules (including the expansion, Digganob) and all of the models (none of which are painted, predictably). I suspect the cardboard terrain is long gone, but it feels like a game that I could have a lot of fun with again nearly 25 years later.
After my school started I completely forgot about this channel!
This is great content!
I'm 36 and I love this shit. I bought GM the day before the official release at my local GW, after we all got back from Gamesday! I was so happy to be the first one in my town to own it. I made some awesome kustom truks which I still have. GM has a special place in my heart, I loved watching this vid. I want more interviews with old GW staff! They designed our childhoods and many memories now.
