My order from Warhammerart came today. One of my favourite pieces of GW art from 1997. I may have misjudged the sizing though. It's bloody huge! Such good quality! #warhammerart #gamesworkshop #warhammer40k #sistersofbattle #adeptasororitas #johnblanche #paintingwarhammer

Napoleon Dynamite Actor Jon Heder to Star in Documentary About Warhammer Artist John Blanche

Napoleon Dynamite Actor Jon Heder to Star in Documentary About Warhammer Artist John Blanche

If you're a fan of Warhammer 40k, you undoubtedly know the name John Blanche. Even if this is your first introduction to him, you’ve likely encountered his influential artwork that has shaped the franchise's visual identity. Blanche is the mastermind behind the iconic image of the Emperor, a representation that captures the dark irony of a once-wretched figure becoming an object of worship. The term "grimdark," which originated from 40k's tagline "in the grim darkness of the far future," is a style that Blanche has not only popularized but pioneered. His unique approach to miniature painting, known as Blanchitsu, further cements his legacy within the community. Blanche's impact extends beyond the 40k universe; he has influenced a vast array of games, including the fantasy setting of the Total War: Warhammer series. His artwork, such as "Harry The Hammer," adorned the cover of the first edition of Fantasy Battle and has recently reemerged in the strategy game as chaos hero Harold Hammerstorm. His contributions are so significant that even games not directly associated with the Warhammer license owe a great deal to his aesthetic. https://youtu.be/4r0wI7m79Mc Now, exciting news for fans: Trademark Films is producing a documentary titled The Grim And The Dark: The Search For John Blanche, featuring Jon Heder, known for his role in Napoleon Dynamite. The documentary is set to release next spring, and its narrative revolves around a quest to find the 46-year veteran of Games Workshop, who, despite retiring last year, has not been particularly elusive. The premise may sound dramatic, but I’ve always enjoyed seeing familiar subjects framed through an outsider’s lens—it’s akin to rediscovering something you thought you knew. It will be fascinating to see which aspects of Blanche’s extensive career the filmmakers highlight for a broader audience. What’s particularly thrilling is that the documentary appears to extend its focus beyond Warhammer. In the trailer, viewers can spot models and artwork from Trench Crusade, a skirmish miniatures game developed by former Games Workshop talent that recently achieved remarkable success on Kickstarter. Even the team behind Helldivers expressed excitement over a potential crossover. According to a blurb on a related website, Heder was introduced to "the world of Grimdark" while searching for a gift for his child. Perhaps he might consider checking out Trench Crusade, which bears noticeable influences from Berserk. For those interested in exploring more of John Blanche’s work, I recommend seeking out Ratspike, alongside the works of fellow fantasy artist Ian Miller. Read the full article
