From Dungeons to Star ships Episode 4 - Thank You John Blanche

There are many individuals that inspire us, influence us, but then there are the few who's involvement with how you see the aesthetic of the games we play in the Fantasy, Sci-fi worlds, and this video talks about the godfather of them all. John Blanche. On his retirement from head of art at Games Workshop its my little chance to say thanks.

I am going to say that if it was not for John’s influence on 40K I probably wouldn’t have played the game. His dystopian gothic future is what sold me on the game to be honest. I’m surprised you didn’t mention Rat Spike a book that John and Ian Miller co collaborated on . John has been a huge influence on Games Workshop and we all owe him a dept of gratitude.

Games Workshop should totally hold a retirement event for John, a reprint of his playing card set (distinguishable from the original to maintain the collector value of the original set if necessary) and a set of his most iconic art as prints almost seems mandatory. At this date since his retirement their hasn't yet been a commemorative event, and I'd be disappointed if GW didn't capitalise on his contribution to and fanatic following in the Warhammer Fantasy/30k/40k community.

See now that's the idea 💡 yes absolutely golden plan to say thank you to someone that has been so pivotal to the company for so many years. Think if they don't a campaign on warhammer community may be called for!!
