It wasn’t until Geoff gave into the sweet binary sounds of Ad-mech, that he put down his Tyranids to try something different, but any time new rules or changes were made, Geoff would jump right back in and give his Tyranids a try. These bugs would go on epic road trips with, him, me, and others bonding on trips up and down the West Coast. Many newer players to the Warhammer 40k scene might know Geoff for his Custodes or Ad-mech, it though was his yellow and black Tyranids that I was raised on with him. Even when many of us questioned the color choices for his army, it became clear Geoff was creating an iconic look that would stick out anywhere he took them. By the time of his passing Geoff had amassed an insane collection of Tyranids brought to life by great painters, who you could say were forced to stick to a particular yellow scheme. Taking cues from his other obsession Star Craft, Geoff had always loved playing one type of faction over all others: bugs! So it came as no surprise to anyone who knew him that he would dive straight into Tyranids when it came to Warhammer 40k. Geoff was a champion of competitive play, rallying as many people he could find to play competitive matches to hone his skills and create lasting friendships. Thanks to the Frontline crew of Reece and Frankie, Geoff was able to jump right into the competitive Warhammer scene when it was really starting to take off. I was fortunate enough to become his friend, at a time when he was really settling down in the San Francisco Bay Area. Geoff as many know was a larger than life character bringing joy to the Warhammer 40k community, while being an icon in the Star Craft video game community at the same time. This devastating event happened on a day he was going to do something he loved, play Warhammer 40k with his friends. Last year a tragedy hit our Warhammer 40k community, when my friend Geoff “inControl” Robinson died suddenly from a blood clot in the summer of 2019.
