Bryan Ansell was a sculptor, artist, games designer, businessman, company founder, and visionary who revolutionised the entire hobby industry. He passed away on December 30th 2023. This is my retrospective on his incredible career, the innovations and developments that he pioneered, and the way that he set the stage for Games Workshop to become a global powerhouse.

After co-founding Citadel Miniatures with Games Workshop owners Steve Jackson and Sir Ian Livingstone Ansell would go on to take over the entire Games Workshop company and completely reimagine how it worked. He commissioned Warhammer, Space Hulk, Blood Bowl, and 40k. It was his obsession with Michael Moorcock that led to Chaos becoming a central feature of every GW game.

Without Bryan Ansell there would be no Warhammer, no Warhammer: 40,000, no Space Marines or Old World or Citadel Miniatures of any kind. He truly changed the world, and this is his story.
