I'm a big fan of the 40k artwork in some of the source books, what books would you recommend to satisfy an art-o-phile such as myself?
obviously you don't know what good artwork is
>>14578518good/bad artwork is subjective, so unless you have something constructive to add, please fuck off.
>>14578539u mad? yeah, u mad
>40k>artone of these things is not like the other
>>14578592>>14578561>>14578539Stop that, this is /tg/ not /b/Xenology had some good alien related artwork, infact your best bet is the background info books: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Category:Background_Books
>>14578507The RPG books vary in art quality. Some is beautiful. Some is merely passable. Your best bet is to lurk /tg/ and obtain images ripped from their digital releases. Such as this.
all the official books contain relevant arts, and !!subjectively!! they are kinda cool.creatures anathema has pics of big ugly monsters, radicals handbook heretics, etc.
>>14578633>Stop that, this is /tg/ not /b/>implying there's much of a difference
Let me cherry pick some pieces to post.
it varies. between this:
>>14578677and, from the same book (inquis) this:
>>14578716GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!
If this is turning into a warhammer artwork thread is there any way we could get some Primearchs up in here?
>>14578728why do I see this and immediately think he's browsing 4chan?>>14578730have some Fulgrim
bamp for more art
>>14578829I thought this was some harry potter bullshit at first :-\
>>14578839Astropaths, my boy. Most likely a choir preparing for broadcast.
>>14578839You can tell its 40k because skulls.
>>14578762Can you guess where his manipulator mechadendrite is heading?
>>14578948is it me or does she look pregnant?
>>14578982Her shirt just looks weird to me.
40k artwork is it? Well, sure I can contribute some
>yfw You will never be a member of a Rogue Trader's retinue.
I like Adam Smith´s older work better, but it´s still got some charm to it.Karl Kopinski is still the greatest IMO
>>14579028I still can't get over how the iron sights on the bolter completely block the scope's vision.
Some of Adam Smith´s older work. Much, much better IMO. Note that the coloration of this is not in the original artwork, but has been added later by anon
I can't see if it´s signed, but I´m pretty certain it´s Karl Kopinski. Just awesome
John Blanche, this one. Not sure if he still does artwork for GW, but some of the oldest 40K artwork is by him
>>14579085I think he does, yes. Not seen anything particularly recent work, mind you.
>>14579068I love the guy on the left>guys, GUYS! I can't see a god damn thing under this hood!.
Karl Kopinski again
>>14579085His caffeinated vomit-art still graces the pages of GW's codices and rulebooks, yes.
and again

>>14579120Any last words?>mrrph mrrrph mrph
>>14579059The name's 'Adrian' Smith, by the way.
for some reason i just love this particular character.Whom i've dubbed, the Booknaught.
>>14579232Jesus christ, keep those candles away from that book.What retard techpriest gave him those things instead of a lamp pack or something.
>>14579250Those are sacred candles. They keep away the daemons.
>>14579279Well, at least put them on a candelabra or something, rather than letting Captain Booknaught over there wave them around like a spastic.
>>14579279Just so. Behold, the fate of those who rely upon simple lumen orbs.
No prize for guessing what the caption for this one is.
>>14579346Hey guys, did you know there was a window behind this curtain?
>>14579346'What in the Emperor's name is this shit!'
>>14579346OUINVFNJKLVSDOE{O O:NJVBFIJ BDSHJBRFV!!!!!!!!!!!!>Due to having a god damned hole in his head
>>14579346As you can see, my right eye is a bit underdeveloped. What's that thing over there?
>>14579059Goddammit Anon, his name is ADRIAN. ADRIAN Smith.
>>14579346See that? That's EXTRA HERETICAL!
Any Stormtrooper pics? Could use a few for DH
More storm troopers
>>14578730I second this
Hate to see this in a dark alleyway
>>14580448A murdered man, or the bunch of Inquisitorial acolytes crowding around the corpse?
>>14580485 both
>>14580448I'm pretty sure if you did you wouldn't have to worry about it for long
Guy who requested the stormtrooper pics here, thanks, very helpful
