Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Warhammer le jeu des batailles fantastiques" in French language version.
« The designers behind Warhammer were Bryan Ansell, Richard Halliwell, and Rick Priestley. »
« Rick Priestley had written a set of fantasy wargames rules called Reaper in the late 70s, when he and coauthor Richard Halliwell were still at school. The Reaper rules were aimed at fighting fantasy battles, but also allowed for individual miniatures to skirmish under certain circumstances. [...] By the early 1980s, however, under the guidance of Bryan Ansell, who now had control of both Games Workshop and Citadel Miniatures [...], a new rules system was created by Priestley and Halliwell that was to have enormous consequences not just for the company, but for the wargaming hobby as a whole. »
