Sad day. Grew up during a time he was at his best.

My missus will be deeply distressed by this news. She loved Lord Flashheart (didn't everyone?).

Woof woof!
Watched Blackadder Back & Forth last night in commemoration (I wanted to watch the Young Ones episode where Rick talks about being martyred but I didn't have the DVD on hand).
Great actor. I'm just glad we got to see the great work he did do in his time
Started Warhammer with Dark Elves in 2002, stopped playing in 2005. Came back in 2013.
Other armies; Tyranids, Lizardmen
Main opponents: Slaanesh Daemons, Tomb Kings, Savage Orcs.
Anyone in New Zealand for games and trades?
