Gav Thorpe: expansion
===Gav Thorpe===
Gav Thorpe is one of the most influential designers for [[Games Workshop]]. He focuses greatly on the Warhammer Fantasy based game, but spends a lot of time writing different short stories and is involved with the story of the [[Last Chancers]]. He has written many of the rulebooks for Warhammer 40,000.
AlsoBorn in Stevenage, a short distance from the smoggy clouds of London, he created had a few part-time job whilst studying for his A levels and joined Games Workshop in 1993 at the age of 19. Since that date in 1993, Gav has been involved in millions of projects, far too many to list in fact, but they have spanned a large chunk of Army Book and Codexes, and every Warhammer game from Warhammer Quest through to 6th edition as well as event campaigns like Storm of Chaos.  Originally employed as an Assistant Games Developer, Gav moved over to work on White Dwarf for a couple of years, before returning as a Games Developer once more, and then on to the lofty position of Warhammer Loremaster in 2000, overseeing the development of the Warhammer Fantasy game . He is now in an oversight position with responsibility for the background, imagery and general IP that is produced by Games Workshop.  He’s possibly most proud of his work on [[Inquisitor (game system)|Inquisitor]], a game he chiefly created. As a game and an exploration of the 40k background and imagery, he feels it was a challenging project and a great success. Gav obviously Warhammer with his beloved Dwarf army, but he also has a 40k Eldar army and is on the verge of launching himself into Epic with an Imperial Guard army. On top of all this he continues to scribe novels and short stories for the Black Library.
