Does GW, or anyone else, make any cool posters like the artwork you see in codexes and rulebooks, I am back at school and want some to help decorate my room.

Try the Black Library.

Failing that, there were lots of Warhammer Online posters (authentic or not, who knows) on ebay.

There was a cool cutaway poster of a Stompa that came with an issue of White Dwarf.

Deviant art has some nice things. Their was one person who is quite adept at digital colouring. And he could black out a citedal design team artwork and recolour it soo much better than they can do. ALthough I can't remember his user. It had the word cow in it, I think.

Forge World has some spiffy posters, though true to FW they cost a lot. Gaming mags all have Space Marine posters these days, I got two myself in small and humongous featuring Captain Titus telling his sword "I AM WAR" in a serious if somewhat disturbing manner.

I have found the username of that guy. Majesticchicken was his name. He is frankly amazing.

Here is some of his better ones.

His other good ones are Servant OF The Ctan and Trench Nightmare, they were good. In fact I had that C'tan bashing necron as my desktop picture.

and he sells posters? and where can I find FW's?

If you want full posters rather than print offs, then that's harder. WD 300 had a few posters in it, not the prettiest, but are nice enough. You might be able to find one on ebay. They are a bit geeky looking with the horus heresy thing.

Here is the artwork.

Also there is a stompa poster as cool has said in a white dwarf. I found one in an old shop selling second hand WDs.

I just print off deviant art, I love some of Gavades and Majesticchickens colour ins.

FW sell posters on their site.

Best poster ever.

Please tell me there is a high definition version of this work of art somewhere!

Another vote for FW posters. I got one based off one of the imperial armor books. Was shipped quickly and neatly rolled in a cardboard tube. Very good and large print and looks great on the wall.

Forgeworld has excellent posters here.

I have the space marine side of this bad boy framed and hanging in my game/hobby room.



The Black Library (GW's publishing arm) has posters here.

So can someone tell me how big "A2" size is in inches?

Four A4 sheets arranged to make one larger rectangle of the same proportions is A2.

A4 is a rough equivalent to 8.5 x 11... I say rough because its actually longer. I don't know the exact measurements. All I know is that we have a sign at work asking guests not to put A4 paper in our printers.

Thanks djphranq that gives me a good picture of the size.

Do you not use A4 across the pond?

I didn't know that.

Then my response was monumentally unhelpful, sorry.

A4 is designed so that placing sheets next to one another maintains the ratio of edges. A0 is 1 square metre, and each further number halves the area.

Just to add confusion, the B# grade is mid-way between the A# sizes B3 size is sort of A4.5 (numbers go up for smaller sizes.)

A4 is longer and a tiny bit narrower than Letter.
A3 is 2x A4 pages stuck long-side on.
A2 is twice that, being 4x A4 pages.

If you want measurements, go to the printer options on a Windows PC. It should list most sizes.

Over here, we mostly use Letter (8.5"x11") or Legal (8.5"x14") size. Every once in a while, someone will print a European document with one of the A sizes on our work printers. A4 generally goes through OK, losing some of the bottom part of the page (depending on the printer). Anything else will generate a "PC Load Letter" type error.
