This is one of the weirdest, grimiest, inspiring, glorious collections of art I've had the pleasure of drooling over.

There's a bunch of Warhammer Fantasy and 40K art in here, but more than that, this is Blanche and Miller unleashed in all their disgusting beauty.

While they share a sensibility and sources, these two artists are incredibly unique and seriously varied within themselves, showing some less familiar side, at least to me. Taking inspiration from iconic fantasy art of yore and the classical painting masters, each in their own way, processes this through their absurd imagination warping familiar figures and techniques into dark, surreal, and grubbily whimsical wonders, as well as their purely original nightmares.

There's none of the ink and wash Warhammer sketches that are quintessentially Blanche in my mind, but there are some of the classic paintings I wasn't previously aware were his. So much of Miller's art I was entirely unaware of, including visions of the Warhammer universes that add a whole new perspective. His art of the Warp is truly horrifyingly gorgeous and there is an image of amassed Space Marines that captures the brutal fascistic nature of the Imperium better than any other piece I have ever seen! His original works are filled with a certain bleak fun I really enjoy.

Genuinely one of the greatest art books I've ever seen! I would heartily recommend this for anyone who enjoys strange, fantasy, science fiction, or any other kind of bizarre art, regardless of any interest in Warhammer. For Warhammer fans, this is like discovering a long lost STC. IYKYK.
