Recently fell down a rabbit hole and wow, didn't realise one artist was behind so many of my favourite designs in 40k. Anyone know where I could find an archive of Jes Goodwin's old sketches? I want them for some design work but internet is full of dead links..

well, there are at least three published books of his sketches, The Gothic And The Eldritch, The Aeldari Sketchbook and the Drukhari Sketchbook (the latter two combined into The Eldar Collection)

Gothic and the Eldritch isn't super rare, the other ones/the collection is almost impossible to find in my experience

If memory serves the latter two were GW Store Anniversary/Grand Opening exclusive, and not the orderable type.

I think they may have done a MTO run of the pair at some point as well.

I’ve got the pair (in a classy slip case) and I’m fairly sure I ordered online.

GW's refusal to just sell the Eldar Sketchbook is borderline malicious at this point.

I got my copy off eBay. Yes, it's quite illogical as GW could make a profit just by selling it directly.

One of the very first Retro Review I did, back in 2008, which I believe was 2 or 3 years ago, was on the Gothic and the Eldrich. Feel free to check it out.

I’d settle for even a Print To Order run for that. And the other arty sourcebook things they’ve done.

They did a few - the Skaven and Chaos ones got reprints which I both snapped up fast. But yeah they've a bunch of art/lore books that they could do made-to-order runs and profit off.

and GW does good quality on that stuff too - I've picked up the whole run of the original Inferno books and the recent Rogue traders

Just do one a month. Ideally starting around the 23rd of the month. On account that’s my payday and it would make my life infinitely easier.
