[img]smile.gif[/img] Things have changed, Grungi... Warhammer's been changed, sure, but only twice in the past eight years; and not due for another shift anytime soon. most GWstores (my one, anyway) are fighting to give old hands a chance, and the Veteran's Nights are proving to be more popular than the regular Gaming Nights. Unpainted models are usually not allowed for anyone, except on specific training days (or for staff
)
If you want to play Warhammer... the game hasn't changed all that much. You'll pick up the changes in no time, especially if you're a Dwarf player (it's mostly Magic that was reworked). Go in to your nearest store, ask around, see when things are done.
As for Jackson and Livingstone...? I think they sold GW to Citadel Miniatures in 1982 and went off to pioneer Fighting Fantasy. It's the same guys at the helm of Warhammer as it's always been, ever.
