Andy Chambers leaves GW

Most of our readers are going, “Who dat,” but the Warhammer hardcore have been whispering about this online for at least a week. Internal sources confirmed today on message boards that longtime Warhammer 40,000 lead designer and very nice chap Andy Chambers is leaving the Games Workshop nest. He oversaw the recently completed and about-to-ship new edition of the 40K core rules, and while the packaging of the new edition has changed interestingly, by and large it doesn’t look like a radical departure from Chambers’ distinguished career. The interesting question is what he might do next, but that will be answered in time. [Update: “about-to-ship” means October, apparently. My bad.]
