Way back in the day Games Workshop started out as a company that imported and re-sold RPG books such as D&D and more.
30 plus years later it’s morphed into the company we know today. I’ll admit I only have a handful of GW knowledge starting in the late 80’s but it’s nothing compared to the recollections of one time Games Workshop and Citadel owner Bryan Ansell.
For instance, did you know that Warhammer was almost originally called ‘Battleblade’?
If that alone is enough to peak your curiosity, you will really love the interview Realm of Chaos did with Bryan a few months ago.

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
