Just learned some sad news: John Blanche, one of the major architects of all things Warhammer, has passed away.
Blanche was known for the dark, gothic, occasionally bizarre, and unmistakably punk-inspired style of his artwork; a vision that helped define the look and feel of the worlds of Games Workshop for generations of hobbyists.
Countless hours mesmerised by his artwork in the 3rd Edition Warhammer 40,000 rulebook and even recently found ourselves inspired to try and recreate elements of his unique style.
Blanche leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire artists, painters, writers, and gamers for years to come.
