Warhammer co-creator dies

40k is cool if you only care about it on a surface level. I don't need to know the entire history of the Horus Heresy and what all 20 Primarchs were doing, I just need to know that its cool when the gun nuns drive a flamethrower organ tank into a wall of bugs and melt them.

Third edition was the most playable. It reduced a lot of the RPG inherited unnecessary convolution of army creation and wasn't burdened with overly cheese-able wargame rules like re-rollable 2++ save shit yet. Getting rid of vehicle specific armor and making vehicles into effectively large wound pool creatures was the final straw in ruining 40k as a fun tabletop game system.
