Thanks (I think) to Joe McLaren for this lovely photoshop job.

What is it they say about putting a picture of yourself holding a sheet of paper on the internet?

Anyway, the original photo was to promote a Reddit AMA (Ask me Anything) over at r/warhammer. I had a great two hours answering a whole range of diverse questions. A few of my favourites are below, but you can click on the button to read the full AMA.

TheOnlyDerec: What is your favourite Space Marine chapter and why is it the Minotaurs?

Because everyone likes Horny Marines?

I’ve always had a softish spot for the Blood Angels. Poor, damned, flawed heroes that they are. Plus we all know that red is the best colour. However, being a creative type, I think my favourite will hopefully be the Primaris founding chapter I’m currently inventing to paint up my Dark Imperium models… Details to come.

Khaos_Zand3r: Thoughts on the Age of Sigmar lore as it currently stands?

Liking it enough that I’ll be starting a new trilogy for BL next year. I think the last twelve months in particular have shown it really starting to find its way, both from the Studio and authors. And players are really seeing the possibilities now too.

It’s still tricky for me as a writer to get my head around the tone occasionally, but that’s simply unfamiliarity.

bjornbjornsen: I’d be interested to know what your reaction was to the small but loyal Squat fanbase that still exists out there? Converting AoS models to use in 40k, keeping the old lead model circulating on the second hand market, etc.

I think it’s very Squattish. Resilient, you might say. I notice this with other fandoms – Sisters players are very devout in their attention to their army, Dark Angels players love arguing amongst themselves about the Fallen, and orks players… Well, they’re just here for the dakka.
