Kevin Rountree
The new CEO of Games Workshop. He took over for Tom Kirby starting in 2015[1].
So far we got 12 Start Collecting sets for different armies for both games with, surprisingly ACTUAL SAVING, for example, you buy and Crisis Suit Team and for some little more cash you get a Fire Warrior team and an semi exclusive Ethereal on hoverboard, or even best, you can pay for a Carnosaur and they will gift you a Saurus Knight box and 12 Saurus Warriors FOR FREE.
This is too good, almost too much to be true. Sadly the latter may be the case as signs of the usual douchebaggery appeared with trying to stifle the lore-mending of Josh Reynolds and the axing of a certain undead not-Egypt faction and a certain Arthurian not-France faction.
However, they've also taken to social media, and appear to be developing an actual comprehensive FAQ for 40k, not to mention bringing points back to Fantasy. These are all signs that Rountree might actually care about their games as games and not just a means to sell models.
Only time will tell if Kevin does actually care about the community.
Update as of June 2016: HOLY SHIT HE BROUGHT BACK SPECIALIST GAMES AND ALLOWED MODS IN TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER, PRAISE BE UNTO OUR MESSIAH! HE ALSO GAVE US DEATHWATCH, GENESTEALER CULTS, AND PLASTIC HORUS HERESY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! AND DID WE MENTION THAT HE BROUGHT FUCKING DAEMON PRIMARCHS INTO 40K?!
Yet more exploits from the lord of GW
- Regimental Standard
- Warhammer Community
- Custodes in PLASTIC
- plastic SoB (well, Celestine at least. It's a start)
- He also re-hired a certain someone, FFFFFF... no-one's perfect. But wait! Their writing has overall improved and the only sign is the return of Roboute Guilliman. That's right, it looks like things are on such an upswing even the Spiritual Liege himself has improved.
- AN ADEPTUS MECHANICUS ARMY HOLY SHIT.
- As of March 2017, Lord Kevin has managed to cause shares to nearly double in value, pushing Games Workshop stock to its highest level ever.
- He's making a new edition of Talisman. NOW we are back at being GAMES. Not just warhammer.
- Primarchs (both loyalist and traitor) in 40k.
- AND wait , what, 8th?
- FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
