You might have seen this on Warhammer Community before - they're running it again: www.warhammer-community.com/2018/11/29/29th-nov-warhammer-heroes-nominations-now-opengw-homepage-post-4fw-homepage-post-2/
It's celebrating those that have made an impact on the warhammer hobby. Winners from last time are here - many of them organised events, raised money for charity, or run clubs but there's also key figures in supporting communities.
Anyone else think we should have a crack at nominating our own KevinC for this? For creating/nurturing this community, plus his contributions to rules expansions over the years. I know people might assume that GW would have no interest in someone who's championed a game they no longer support - but, they've acknowledged someone who kept the LoTR/Hobbit game going (which was their red-headed stephild for a long while) and they've clearly been bringing back lots of old games recently (all the specialist ones) that people played in their absence. Plus, GW still does some old world stuff (Made to Order, licensed games, Warhammer Chronicles books), and WFB players still mostly buy GW products...
All it would take is a little time putting together our nomination reasons - it seems worth doing - but there are others who know Kevin personally, so could contribute more to this than I could.
