CONCEPT ARTWORK - Once You Heresy You Cannot UnHeresy: Chaos Edition!

Part 2 of the heretical concept art theme that is "Hey Kids, lets Play 40k!", this time with extra-Chaos flavour as a treat for all you enthusiasts of the Ruinuous Powers. As before, click to embiggen!

Also click on my deviantart profile for the original-sized version of the artwork (re-sized so you can read the enclosed internal memos) and also for more information, if you're curious as to how the idea came about especially on the subconscious thought processes involved.

CONCEPT ARTWORK - Once You Heresy You Cannot UnHeresy

You lucky readers, I bring you the original full-sized version of the smuggled concept artwork I snuck out from the GW Design Studio, including handy memos which might've been too small to read...

(or am I presenting to you all photomanip fan parody artwork that might be too hot to handle?...)

What If James Cameron Made A 40K Movie?

I present to you the greatest Warhammer 40K movie never made: James Cameron's 'The Catachan'!

This (parody) movie poster was a real labour of love, click to embiggen.

Also, I challenge you dear reader, to spot all the easter eggs. There's approximately a whopping 35no. in total. Happy hunting!

What if Games Workshop made Blood Bowl 40K?

"Johann Richter of the Cadian Castellans successfully grabs the Power Sphere! But beware, xenos scum aren't far behind!"

I love WH40k. I love Blood Bowl. How about Blood Bowl 40K?

(and no, I don't mean Mantic's Dreadball smartypants! It's a pity grim and gritty 40k has had all it's humour sucked out of it. Ah well...)

How about some American Football-style team names?

Imperial Guard - The Cadian Castellans!

Space Marines - The Ultramar Saints!

Orks - The Octarius Raiders!

Eldar - The Biel-Tan Broncos!

Dark Eldar - The Commorragh Chargers!

Tau - The D'yanoi Dolphins!

Necrons - The Pavonis Pharoahs!

Tyranids - The Charybdis Kaijus!

Chaos - The Prospero Patriots!

Etc, etc...

More information here, along with usual disclaimers e.g. copyrights & trademarks used completely without permission, yadda, yadda. It's a parody piece of box-set artwork for everyone's amusement, is all...

Also: Please excuse the lack of Squats. They would make a great Blood Bowl 40k team though!

 

Addendum 08/11/13: Many thanks to Bell of Lost Souls for featuring the photomanip artwork on their facebook photos timeline. Great reading all the comments, feedback & discussion generated, much appreciated - I only wish to brighten up everyone's day with a smile! :)

What if Capcom made Space Hulk?

Ghost Knight Busters: The New Look

Hello everybody, thought I'd update the look of the blog as it's been over a year since I last did so, complete with new header to reflect my current army interest of late!

As a bonus I've posted onto here a few choice images (floating round the Tinternet. All credit given to original posters/modellers where possible) running along with the theme of Ghost Knight Busting. Enjoy!

Spec Ops: Killzone – Artwork (Cover)

The completed cover, featuring an Imperial Guard Stormtrooper Kill-Team (the classics, not Kasrkins which I'm equally fond of, nor the moon-suits, which I detest), for your enjoyment!

I also intend to start work on a new piece of art, as a contribution to the ongoing Spec Ops: Killzone project. Watch this space!

Enjoy!

Pop down over to B.Smoove's blog, "A Gentleman's Ones" for the results of the banner contest. Well done to the winner, Karitas of Excommunicate Traitoris!

Here were my submitted entries, riffing on the eternally gentlemanly theme of wargaming, top hats, and gruesome brutality!

"I say!"

"Bloody good show, what!"

I'm proud to be involved in Big Jim's latest project, the fan-produced Special Operations: Killzone supplement for skirmish games of 40K. Check it out!!

Chronologic

As per my last post regarding maps, I love me my timelines. A big part of why we play this game of futuristic toy soldiers is the fluff, and the fictitious future timeline of the 41st Millenium which comes from all sources, canon (official rulebooks, codices) and sometimes otherwise (Black Library) is part of the rich tapestry of 40K.
