That’s wild I live in the northeast of the US and I got the same book. Maybe even for the same reason. When I was growing up there was this store called job lot that sold overstock items really cheap and you never really knew what you might find in there….for a few months in the early 90’s there were all sorts of gaming supplements and books that came through and caused a rpg boom in my small town. Also on a completely unrelated note, my most recent ex wife was from Sao Paulo. Small world 😅😂
Okay , i have to say , your channel is amazing , every video top notch , your editing is incredible, the fact you are so small realtive to your quailty is an utter crime ( and man be careful not to box yourself in , make what you want ! We will be here to watch :) )
These guys are LEGENDS!!! Fighting Fantasy books were a big part of mine and my friends childhood. At a simple request to their office, both Sir Ian Livingston and Steve Jackson signed a copy of Return to Firetop Mountain as a Birthday present for my friend. It made a 34 year old man cry
I've heard this before but, I really liked your spin on the video (Also yes it's true, I'm sorry papa Noot, I'm mostly here for 40k, I like chainswords and and lazers, it's the way I am)
It really is. As much as I want to see more of them fleshed out, it’s great that there’s more and more options for styles of play and overall design for people in the hobby
As someone who was given the 40k starter set in the mid 90s.... The Space Marines were always my favourite. I remember visiting a store for the first time and learning the rules and buying The paints and slowing working on my first gray pile of shame. I still have my original ones and the books, which was great as it explained all the different chapters and factions. They do need to make more video games to grab the younger generations and as we've seen with the Space Marine 2 game. They'll always be the draw for GW. Great video!
My introduction to Warhammer was Total War: Warhammer II and now I am obsessed with the Fantasy/Old World and Age of Sigmar settings. Warhammer 40,000 has never really done it for me but more recently I have found things to appreciate about it too.
I owned and read several of the classic choose-your-own- adventure Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks. Years later, I stumbled across the Space Hulk game, and I fell in love all over again. From fantasy to 40K, Ian and Steve (and Bryan) gave the world of hobbyists enough to last us until the year 40K... Thank you so much for this video. There is nothing sweeter than the comfy familiar taste of nostalgia...
I go to that School 😂😂😂 There's also a small Warhammer fan base in the school. There is also a poster (of sorts) on the first floor of the school next to the old library for them
i think you have done an amazing video that covers something most fans wonder but do not know much about. Earneda like, a new subscriber and a share with my mates!
Great video, thanks! The Fury of Dracula Curse of the Mummy's Tomb Dungeon Quest Warlock of Firetop Mountain Talisman Dark Future Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 40K Space Hulk Heroquest Owned them all, loved them all. Along with all (and I mean ALL) of the Fighting Fantasy books!
This deserves more views as there is nothing about the origins of GW on RUclips... I think this video will keep on growing as 40k is going to pop very soon
I just read the book covering TSR's history. Thank the gods they didn't sell GW to them and they avoided that shitshow. Say what you will about GW I'd still not like them to be owned by WOTC/Hasbro.
TSR were a great content creator in the 80's and early 90's pumping out a lot of good videogames (particularly in partnership with SSI) as well as the best D&D supplements and settings that players still wish were revived today (none of WOTC settings has been as memorable), quality definitely declined after they were acquired by Wizards of the Coast who had a similar corporate greed and lawyer fetish as Disney.
I think the Primaris thing is really understandable when you looked at the other lines, everything was getting larger and suddenly the supposedly giant Marines were actually looking pretty small on the tabletop. They needed a rescale.
I became a Warhammer fan in the mid-90's. I was always captivated by older Warhammer from the WHFRP book and WD back issues, but I missed the beginning. Still, I'm grateful I was there for most of it and my collection is bigger than it's ever been.
I’ve always wanted to know this. I’m not a War Hammer fan, never played it, read a book or ever wanted to. I work with a huge group of WH fan boys, so it’s good to know about their interest. Thank you
its crazy see the real world time line match up with when things happened in lore and since i am a new fan , getting into it THIS year lol it is cool to see and i really enjoyed this video dude.
Been with warhammer from the start. It had change a lot. Back then you could not tell which way it would go. Loved the art and colors at the time. That’s what hooked me in back then.
I’ve been getting a lot more into 40k recently and this was a really rad video that was super educational and definitely made me want to explore some older iterations of the game/world!
Great video, thank you! It'll be interesting to see a similair video about Rackham Miniatures, and their two awesome games: Confrontation and AT-43. And about Corvus Beli.
subbed. looking forward to your next. yeah, it's been done before - every decade or so in whatever medium is popular; but that doesn't make it either moot or not worth it. liked your style...
Something I think that my phone is reading my mind. Because I have been wondering about this. Keeping me up at night. Dreaming. How did Warhammer, not the lore, but GW came to be.
Firstly great video, British mispronunciations aside it's well researched and presented. I find it interesting that you mention the video game crash, everything I've read suggests it had little to no effect on the UK, which had a pretty thriving home computer industry well into the early to mid 90s. Obviously you've done your research and the man's book itself seems to acknowledge it but I would suggest that they survived the crash because most a British gaming companies did.
You mentioned Jervice Johnson but you failed to mention the game that has produced both World Cup and Euro Cup tournaments and of course I am talking about Blood Bowl 🏈
11:08 Even today, the 10e WH40k Core Book's authors don't seem to know that the singular of the word "dice" is "die." One die, two or more dice. King George III said, after Lexington and Concord, "The die is cast... the colonies will either triumph or submit."
Ha ha. You did good dude. As much that’s been going on. I stick to the 5th edition 40k. And 4th/5th edition Fantasy. But I started a Army for Old World. Just to give it a go. Have yet to get the rule book. (Still have not put together my Army.) Anywhooo. Props to you. Just shared it on FB. (Have some of the blokes from GW on there that I’m sure enjoyed it.
Only just started watching, but FML it's weird. I went to the same school many years later (started early 90's). So, "Altrincham" is pronounced "Alltringam", maybe "Oltringam" depending on whether you're from Bowden or Sale (joke for the locals, there). "Cheshire" would be "Cheshuh" (bit like the end syllable of Worcester). Interestingly, one of their 1st FF novels (Island of the Lizard King) is dedicated to a guy who was deputy head when I was a student there who taught Geography: I believe he taught Ian Livingstone directly. There's a few other famous (and infamous) students and teachers who were there too.

Noot accidentally becoming a warhammer channel is hilarious
it really was an accident man idk how it happened
War hammer sneaks up on you. And your wallet
Yea if he’s smart he will go all in on warhammer for the channel
@@rockandrollprophet76 do it for the wallet.
@@Noot_Officialit's a good decision regardless.
And just when I thought I was having a bad day, a new Noot video dropped. Good content as always man!
Thank you as always Mr. Space haha
Your channel is massively underrated bro, thank you for your effort :)
And thank you for watching, it's really appreciated :)
Criminally underrated channel, your work is appreciated man
Thank you!! Your comment and kind words is just as appreciated man
This video made me realize that yes, indeed i haven't seen a video on the making of warhammer stuff, it's always videos related to lore or games.
Same. I’ve watched a lot of content but no one ever talks about this.
First video of yours I have watched - throughly enjoyed!
thanks for watching!! glad you enjoy :)
Great video. Didn't know GW was at first a magazine and distribution company.
ayy thanks man! and yeah me neither, never really even questioned where they got their start tbh
The year is 1985, I was a kid in Brazil. I don't remember how, but I got a book, City of Thieves, by Ian Livingstone. I was amazed by that!
That’s wild I live in the northeast of the US and I got the same book. Maybe even for the same reason.

but yeah this’ll be my only warhammer video for a bit, trying my best not to only make one type of content lmao

much appreciated! but ay it's all good, I'm the same way i be watching warhammer videos daily hahah
It’s crazy how the number of new and “new” factions coming out has soared in the past few years.
It really is. As much as I want to see more of them fleshed out, it’s great that there’s more and more options for styles of play and overall design for people in the hobby
It’s such a shame really

What did it feel like not getting laid and wasting all this time?
@@JNAMOTORSPORTS idk... How about you ask your mother why you haven't done it
@@JNAMOTORSPORTS I woudn’t know, to busy fucking your mom and enjoying my hobbies
My introduction to Warhammer was Total War: Warhammer II and now I am obsessed with the Fantasy/Old World and Age of Sigmar settings. Warhammer 40,000 has never really done it for me but more recently I have found things to appreciate about it too.
I'm a warhammer fantasy player, not a 40k one, but Dan abnetts book series called Gaunts Ghosts is by far my favorite reads ever!

wow i really appreciate it!! that type of support really does go a long way so thank you
Bro i have been looking for a video which goes thru warhammer history. I finally found one
I haven't actually seen anyone cover their origins in detail so this'll be good!
Hopefully you enjoyed, I did my best researching the stuff but there's still probably some things that got messed up
Great video, thanks!
The Fury of Dracula
Curse of the Mummy's Tomb
Dungeon Quest
Warlock of Firetop Mountain
Talisman
Dark Future
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay
40K
Space Hulk
Heroquest
Owned them all, loved them all.
Along with all (and I mean ALL) of the Fighting Fantasy books!
a true connoisseur
This deserves more views as there is nothing about the origins of GW on RUclips... I think this video will keep on growing as 40k is going to pop very soon
In obvious absence of real footage of these events of the past I'm happy to settle for this hilarious montage.
real footage wouldve made making this a whole lot easier lmao, but thanks for watching!
I just read the book covering TSR's history. Thank the gods they didn't sell GW to them and they avoided that shitshow. Say what you will about GW I'd still not like them to be owned by WOTC/Hasbro.
both are definitely terrible in their own right but yeah WOTC and Hasbro are their whole own sh*t show lmao
If they were owned by they'd probably have stayed as a DnD mini maker and Warhammer would not exist
TSR were a great content creator in the 80's and early 90's pumping out a lot of good videogames (particularly in partnership with SSI) as well as the best D&D supplements and settings that players still wish were revived today (none of WOTC settings has been as memorable), quality definitely declined after they were acquired by Wizards of the Coast who had a similar corporate greed and lawyer fetish as Disney.
I have seen couple of GW history videos, but this one is the best. Big up for effort and research
You definitely are punching above your weight, you really deserve more subscribers.
you’re too kind hahah, hopefully we’ll get there eventually
I thought I knew a lot about Warhammer, I now understand how deep this lore can go! Thanks for the great insight!
OMG HEs acctualy talking aout somthing we want to hear about! (great content man keep it up)
ikr who would’ve thought he’d stop talking about things like the alphabet and now lawnmowers
This was exactly what I wanted to see when looking for the history of Games Workshop. Thank you for this informative and entertaining video, man!
I would love to see the evolution of warhammer lore. How horus heresy was born, how space marines changed.....
i used to go to the original shop in Daling road that you showed a picture of - nice memory for me :)
Me too! Some fantastic memories.
I'm getting more and more interested in Warhammer, and this video gave me the reasons I needed to get introduced to it. Amazing video!
You becoming a Warhammer channel is hilarious. But if I’m gonna be honest, that’s the reason I found your channel😂
It was an interesting choice not to bring up the Primaris Marine controversy.
Good point tbh, not sure how I missed it, but yeah definitely something that would've been worth covering
I think the Primaris thing is really understandable when you looked at the other lines, everything was getting larger and suddenly the supposedly giant Marines were actually looking pretty small on the tabletop. They needed a rescale.
I became a Warhammer fan in the mid-90's. I was always captivated by older Warhammer from the WHFRP book and WD back issues, but I missed the beginning. Still, I'm grateful I was there for most of it and my collection is bigger than it's ever been.

Great video! Love the deep dive in what a lot of people gloss over- thanks
its crazy see the real world time line match up with when things happened in lore and since i am a new fan , getting into it THIS year lol it is cool to see and i really enjoyed this video dude.
That Levell Crawford reference was pure gold! ❤
Finally! We got some lore for the creation of Warhammer 40k.
Thank you Random channel!
Been with warhammer from the start. It had change a lot. Back then you could not tell which way it would go. Loved the art and colors at the time. That’s what hooked me in back then.
so much information... so much style and charisma
good video
you're too kind, thanks for watching!
So Altrincham is pronounced "Oltringum". It's my hometown and I never knew that those guys were from there!
Same 😅
I’ve been getting a lot more into 40k recently and this was a really rad video that was super educational and definitely made me want to explore some older iterations of the game/world!
You left out the release of the grey Knights.
Over then that you were pretty spot on to be honest man.
Great review Alex, well written and narrated. Thanks!
Warcry mentioned!!!!
banger video btw
Thank you!! I want to get into Warcry and AoS at some point, gonna take some time but it’ll happen eventually
Love these stories but it’s bittersweet because there is a stark different between the money of today and yesteryear
Thanks for mentioning Richard Halliwell
Great video, thank you! It'll be interesting to see a similair video about Rackham Miniatures, and their two awesome games: Confrontation and AT-43.
And about Corvus Beli.
subbed. looking forward to your next. yeah, it's been done before - every decade or so in whatever medium is popular; but that doesn't make it either moot or not worth it. liked your style...
This is exactly what i have been looking for! Thank you! Awesome video!
Been onboard since ‘88. Love the game. Love the hobby. Now, on to my pile of shame.
Man I can remember growing up with most of those games. To this day the oily smell GW books give off give me a serious nostalgia high
Something I think that my phone is reading my mind. Because I have been wondering about this. Keeping me up at night. Dreaming. How did Warhammer, not the lore, but GW came to be.
Warhammer also got inspiration from the Eternal Champion books by Michael Moorcock.
This is a fantastic summation. Thank you so much.
I really had no idea that role playing game god Steve Jackson had a hand in the creation of GW.
I’m sorry, Necro-MOON-da? Police please?
I'm almost positive ive heard an npc in a warhammer game say it like that before lol
LMAO @ freeze frame mark 4:04 If you read the comic bubble, you know what I am talking about! 😅
YOU WERENT SUPPOSE TO READ THAT RICO
@@Noot_Official 😆 💀
Really great video man.
Already one of my top RUclipsrs..
you’re too kind man, thank you
Great video idky but that corny joke on the fantasy football gave me a good chuckle hope the best for you man
hahah ty ty, glad someone appreciates my shitty jokes

You missed the space hulk game on PS1
12:40 A-tier music choice, my friend.
Awesome video. Great style. Subbed and liked!!
hell yeah, thanks for the sub!
You made a great video dude, thanx sooo much 👍
Slight correction, no one called him Trevor, I have always known him as Denny :) Aweome dude!
“Ol-Tring-Um” is the pronunciation you’re looking for 😂
Thanks for educating us with this vid.
Oooh... Wow... I never watched this topic. Time to watch it.
Im actually replaying all the dawn of wars now
I still need to play them, I have the 1st one but too many other things to play
Good summary that kidda, well done!
Thanks, Dude! Awesome!
If you have a mind to do another warhammer video, more detail on the transition into the grim dark aesthetic/tone would be very interesting
I started playing 40k epic when i was a kid. Mainly because you got to play with big armies instead of companies. Shame they abandoned it
I still love 40k and wish I had the time and passion to play
I enjoyed all of that, thank you. Epic 40k was my entry to this addiction. Comment left to appease the Algorithmic Gremlins.
Went to a dragon meet in the 80s bought a really cool t shirt
Woah, didn't know GW and DnD had a shared legacy and helped eachother on their success.
You mentioned Jervice Johnson but you failed to mention the game that has produced both World Cup and Euro Cup tournaments and of course I am talking about Blood Bowl 🏈
I want that judge dredd board game!!!
