Warhammer/Warhammer 40000 Art

[Necroghast]

Hey guys, long time no see. I haven't been painting miniatures for a while now, as I am at art school and focusing on Illustration. I've been searching for a good compendium of Warhammer/Warhammer 40000 art recently though, as I've come to really appreciate the quality of the art that's seen in all of Games Workshop's publications. However, I've been having a really hard time finding a good source for viewing all this great art online. Does anyone know of any good online sources where alot of Games Workshop's art might be compiled? I'm considering buying the "art of Warhammer 40000" book, but since its so expensive I'm holding off for now. Tahnsk a lot!

Google search images for John Blanche art. Although not the sole artist, he is/was the driving force behind the look of Warhammer and Warhammer 40K. As for a single source collecting his work can be found here: http://gothicpunk.tumblr.com/

It looks like an expensive book and the internet offers free googling!!! To be honest I would rather wave that £80/£100 under the nose of Adrian Smith or whoever you like and see if that is enough to buy you a small original pencil/pen and ink work. I think the thing with Games Workshop books is you need to get them quick the moment they come out! They sell out fast and always hold their value. I still kick myself for not buying Space Hulk....

It may not be the most efficient way to find art, but you can poke around the warhammer wikis. Click on the photos tab at the top and you can cycle through pages of images. Or search for a topic and find related images that way.

Thanks for the ideas, all good sources. I'm considering buying some out of date codexs/army books on Amazon just for the art (just a couple dollars each including shipping) but I might still buy the Warhammer 40000 art book at some point. 200 pages of beautiful illustrations is hard to pass up.
