John comes across as such kind, gentle person. I reckon every time he sits near an open fire people just gather round

I had the pleasure of working with John when I first got into the "Influencer" program, such a lovely and helpful bloke! He's also a fantastic artist and my wife actually has a piece of his work hung in her office.

"More people should be silly." Thank you for that, it helped my current mental block.

As a frequent contestant in Golden Demon, I MASSIVELY appreciate the changes that have been made. It was a huge shame how it was treated for years but now it is so much better. there are always things that can be improved but that's true with anything.

Ohhh I miss John as a community manager! (even though he hates us :D )

John could soothe Angron with his voice, just listening to him makes me feel strangely reassured.

They'll not let Peachy on the influencer program, not after that fight he definitely had in the car park.

What a sound gentleman, also I was getting worried, we didn't get a Sharp mention till near the end.

Another great episode as usual! Really fun chat. The Blanchitsu game with John Blanche on the stairs was called the Pilgrym, put together by hobby collective Iron Sleet, with some contribution for the Between the Bolter and Me blog!

A clout is a type of archery target used at competitions, you fire at a flag from distance and score points according to proximity to the clout.

just in a personal way , what i saw in J blanches art style were similarities to the rotoscoped cartoon version of lord of the rings that i saw when i was young and i loved that film, but when i found Gws early artwork by J Blanche it reminded me of that style frozen in time
great chat
and as for leaks i know from my days 90% of leaks came from the national managers meeting :)

"Ooh the chocolate sauce" has just been adopted as my standard taunt for Dark Eldar players.

Yaaaaay John! Such a fantastic human being and great to chat with 😁.
I too LOATHE the term "influencer" for the exact same reasons John mentions. Thank you for clarifying why it's so derogatory.

I never knew Bill Bailey worked for GW!

Peachy: "I'm gonna get me a real nice mic, to get good quality sound."
Also Peachy: "I'm gonna use it from the side, not the top, to give me some good echo."
:D
