WI PROJECT MANAGER
James Griffiths
Ever since they were knee-high to a grasshopper, James has been enamoured with wargaming. Now, when he’s not writing in-depth articles for the magazine and managing all projects going in and out of Wi Tower, he spends his free time 3D sculpting and painting minis.
P.S. We promise he’s not as insane as his caricature to the right makes him out to be… (We think).

Continuing their mission to blend weird retro aesthetics, cinematic gaming mechanics, and a smidgen of history, Crooked Dice have released Beneath the Mountains of Madness. As with many of Crooked Dice’s releases, this one started as a Kickstarter; with that crowdf...
While pacing The Other Partizan last Sunday, doing my best to pick a path between the crowds of attendees, I realised I’m getting to know too many people in the wargaming world! It’s one of those good problems, of course – my job allows me to mix with talen...
The end of the year may be a few festive and spooky holidays away, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t already thinking about it here at Wargames Illustrated. In this Sneak Peek I’ll touch on some of our 2025 plans.
Earlier this month, at the Britcon wargames show, I was lucky enough to have a sneaky, behind closed doors chat with Sarissa’s Steve Cumming about a new project his company have been working on. It’s a hefty new range of full-colour fantasy terrain that will be r...
Welcome to our first behind-the-scenes report since Joe launched our shiny, easier-to-use, redesigned Wargames Illustrated website. In this monthly...
If you’re a fan of anything Billhooks or Ruckus related, of The Barons’ War (for which these figures are primarily designed), or of the other g...
You could easily argue that the shambling undead are a much-overused trope, and one that has more than ‘outlived’ its welcome in recent years. ...
