Matt Ward is a British author and miniature wargaming designer, who is best known for his work with Games Workshop on the Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warhammer 40,000 and The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game systems. He was also a frequent contributor to the magazine White Dwarf during his first stint at the company. In May 2014, Ward left Games Workshop and worked for a time as a novelist. He returned to Games Workshop in 2016; his two year hiatus was allegedly due to him receiving many death threats over his writing. Source: Wikipedia (en)
