John Thorntwaite, former Head of Plastics for Games Workshop between 1985 and 1999, joins Jordan Sorcery to talk about the development of injection modelled miniatures for Warhammer and 40k.

We talk about Bryan Ansell's intentions for Games Workshop plastic manufacturing, test cases like the slotta base and Fighting Fantasy miniatures, psychosyrene dwarfs, and the success of kits like the Rhino, RTB01 Space Marines, and the skeleton hordes.
