It's a massive loss from one of the greatest fantasy and science fiction artists. His vision created what we all still share and enjoy today. Knew he was ill for a while but it's still a great shame.

I was immensely humbled and privileged to hear him speak live during the first Warhammer Conference I've attended, in Heidelberg, in 2024.

His unique vision and extraordinary artwork shaped not only Games Workshop, but the entire miniature wargaming hobby. His influence can be seen in countless armies, stories, and imaginations around the world. The dark, gothic aesthetic he created became an inseparable part of Warhammer and inspired generations of hobbyists, artists, and gamers.

I had the privilege of meeting him once in Nottingham in the early 2000s, and it remains a cherished memory. To have met someone whose work had such a profound impact on a hobby I love was a genuine honor.

The miniature world has lost one of its true legends. His art, creativity, and imagination will continue to inspire for years to come.

Rest in peace, John Blanche. You will be greatly missed.

I agree, it was great that more of his work made it out there. I think he was very aware of how little time he had left and so decided to go all out with some fantastic projects. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819055/11824804.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819055/11824804.page GMT John Blanche has passed away KS bear fruit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819055/11824808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819055/11824808.page GMT John Blanche has passed away

But well, he lived his dream, mostly doing what he loved - not many of us did and do that. And he left a huge legacy of fantasy and creativity. Thanks for that, Laurence John Blanche.
