I love your concepts, they'd be fantastic for representing NPCs and characters from "Civilised" 40K worlds - some of them remind me a lot of the mental images I had when I read Necropolis' descriptions of the Verghastites like Gol Kolea's scratch company and Surgeon Curth.

That said, I'd second Apologist's request for some slightly more bizarre and gothic versions as well. Anachronistic combinations of clothing, the juxtaposition of sophisticated technological concepts with crude designs, totally impractical but visually impressive displays of status or tradition; these are why I look at a Blanche painting and think "that is 40K". I recognise it's a somewhat niche aesthetic, especially if you're talking about bringing a commercial product to market, but hopefully you can squeeze in a few slightly more radical figures among those with broader appeal that would make up the majority of the range.

Comments have been taken aboard - I dont have enough money to pay WIll to make this his main project, so expect things to be slow, all been taken aboard re: more gothic/tatty/impoverished looking characters, so shall see what he comes back with - although I always figured there'd be a total mix, especially in hive worlds - basic clothing would be relatively cheap in the far future I reckon - but with technological regression being the theme, protective or working gear would be bizarre, antiquated, jury-rigged or impracticably cumbersome. Personally I see a set where about a third of the figures are wearing basic robes/tunics with interchangable hats/heads and hands, and the rest are a mix of clothing, again with changable heads and hands so you can create a crowd out of 9 or so figures.

Really great concept art

Agreed; the new concepts look wonderful. I particularly like the fleeing robed priests(?) and family at the bottom, but that page is filled with wonderful details like the fat chap with the fu manchu moustache, the techno skullcap and inverted mohican haircut head.

The backstreet surgeon's brilliant, too – certainly wouldn't want him hunched over me!
