To all who may have interacted with this young man and may have wondered why all his accounts have disappeared. I’m very sad to say Corbin passed away this summer. Memorial and obituary for Corbin Fahy-McLear
I’ve posted my thoughts to the memorial wall on the page above.
RIP Buddy.
Thats so rough. Too young.
I never saw his face until now. Talked to him plenty on the phone though. Such a shame.
That’s terrible. We genuinely wondered if he would take over the community one day. At least we have good times to remember.
It’s natural to have questions at a moment like this, so I just wanted to add that this was all he left us with when he suddenly quit the community a few months ago.
It’s reassuring to have a clear message reminding us all that the feeling was mutual, and that he enjoyed our company. Ultimately, it’s not for us to to know the details, so instead we can know we were a happy memory of his.
I remember being on voicechats with him and some of you on the long nights after my son was born (the famous “baby asmr” painting sessions). Hobbyists all over the world have the book he worked so hard to help put together as a key part of that team (anyone remember his mad font ID skills??). Those are the things I’ll remember.
His passion for archival work and forums was legendary. If anyone could have returned Bugman’s to it’s former glory it was Pyroven. Rest in peace brother
Rest in peace and let’s hope there is endless supply of models for him in afterlife to paint…
Dont suppose anyone has his photo of the grenadier guys he painted? They were amazing. They need to go in the gallery somewhere
He posted a lot of well done models, it’s a shame that in nuking his accounts we lost all those pictures of his awesome armies.
I’m going to break community standards here and just get this out…
Well… fuck.
RIP my dear!
It’s a shame to pass away so soon. Judging by the photos, he could have been my son. I mourn with his parents and relatives.
So young, just 25. Things can truly sucks.
You left a really nice message on the board Chitz.
Che la terra ti sia lieve Corbin
And his dwarfs can be seen here

We will definitely do a female dwarf artisan’s contest in his memory someday. He brought such great spirit to hobby hangouts, discord, and here on the forum as well.
His paint job on your Hashoot sculpt is definitely solidified as my headcanon scheme. Hope we find the finished photo of his castle hat somewhere.
I am not mega involved n the forum at the moment (the flow of life. Things wax and wane ) and so have missed this news and I am a little late to post here.
Ken just contacted me to let me know.
Corbin and I spoke a little on voice chat but not much. He was a good kid with boundless energy and a love for all things oldhammer and old internet. A true archivist and collector.
He very kindly gave me a load of necromunda scenery a while back and refused payment.
It’s in a bag in my garage gathering dust right now but I think painting it up and getting it to table may be in order in the near future.
“Eternal rest grant unto him…”
Rest in peace Pyro
Really shit news.
A sad loss, thoughts are with his people.
Painted it up and used the scenery in a 2nd 40k game with @chitzkoi and @Habitual_Lurker this weekend. Good to see it getting some use, especially with CDO friends.
Thanks again, Pyro.
