David Guymer is no stranger to the worlds of Warhammer, with exciting stories in Gotrek and Felix: The Anthology and the metaphorical pages of Hammer and Bolter magazine.

When not writing, David can be found exorcising his disappointment at the gaming table and preparing for the ascension of the children of the Horned Rat. Or the zombie apocalypse, if that happens first.
