For many fans of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, John Blanche needs no introduction. He simply is Warhammer. His work has inspired thousands, if not millions of hobbyists across the globe in a career that spanned decades, and has literally shaped a whole genre of art and literature, known as Grimdark.
In this keynote John joins us online from his home in the UK, to chat to us about all things Warhammer. Topics include:
- The early days of Grimdark – where it comes from, the things that inspired it
- The process of managing the miniature and art departments at Games Workshop
- The aesthetic origins of 40k
