''Alan worked at Games Workshop for 14 years and was a key member of the Forge World Studio for over a decade. He was utterly dedicated to his work and enriching the fictional universe that his words made real for so many.''<br> ''Often found in Bugman’s Bar with a cup of tea in hand, Alan was a real gent, a warm man who spoke softly and emanated kindness. “Hello chap”, was among his favoured greetings and … Alan was never anything other than a pleasure to spend time with.''<br> ''Generous with his time, Alan often attended events and hung around long after his seminars finished to talk with hobbyists and fans. His fellow writers in the Forge World and Citadel Studios often benefited from his insightful advice and collaborative approach. Alan was truly a walking encyclopaedia of Horus Heresy lore, and on more than one occasion came to the aid of a [[Black Library]] author, helping them craft a narrative that belonged in the universe he’d so lovingly curated.{{Fn''<br> ''Alan will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.''<br> Source: [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/05/27/alan-bligh/ Warhammer Community : Alan Bligh] ''(dated 27 May 2017, last accessed 27 February 2023)''|align = center|1width = 75em}}
