rest in peace john blanche, a truly incredible sci-fi artist. shaped not only the world of 40k, making it feel realer and more lived-in than it ever had, but the very concept of "grimdark sci-fi" as we know it. i still remember the feeling of leafing through the 7th ed codex chaos daemons at age 14, years later. that incredible sense of malaise and mystery that brought the realms of chaos to life is something that will always stick with me. it cemented my love of the otherworldly and unspeakable. his art brought all of that and so much more to life.
