@matthillco No more humour or invention allowed. These are the very things that make fantasy fun. Who said orcs are green anyway?

@garychalkpics I'm curious how different you think the industry would be if GW had not monopolised and sanitised it all?

@garychalkpics I agree. I think I'm lucky I grew up just within the golden age of gaming, before it went mainstream :-) #nostalgic

@matthillco You're too bleeding young to be nostalgic. Get out there and paint some figures! No green orcs though...

@garychalkpics No idea size of market, but I know there's still plenty of LW fans for whom your art defined that world. I'll ask around.
