R.I.P. MR Ansell

One of the most successful and influential miniature game designers has parted our world. Sadly we mourn the passing of Bryan Ansell. He was vital to our hobby and will be mourned by the community. Warhammer as we know it was born in 1983, when a group of enthusiasts consisting of Bryan Ansell, Richard Halliwell and Rick Priestley came together to create the ultimate war board game. Together they invented Warhammer Fantasy Battle, the first edition of the game to be distributed by Games Workshop.

Thanks to Ansell's work, the franchise gained much relevance and Games Workshop became a benchmark in the medium. 

His relatives assured that he died peacefully and surrounded by his loved ones.

Thank you for all the memories created by your game, R.I.P.
