@hatstandblogging
Hello and welcome to Hatstand Blogging. After years of thinking about doing a blog, Iāve finally started one, so we shall see how this goes. Iāll be writing a mix of reviews and general thoughts on the things I like, and I hope you enjoy reading them. Feel free to ask me any questions, too, about any of the stuff Iāve written about. Iām also a big fan of Warhammer, so feel free to ask me about that if you feel so inclined.

Isha the Mother of Aeldari.
A goddess of life either emprisioned by death or eaten by greed. The most benevolent being in the world or the biggest fraud. There is nothing a mother can't be.
...
Its not khaines rune that chains her but her own? š» wwoohhhhohhho what do I mean by this whhhoooowohhoo
So this is supposed to be in universe mural of Isha from my craftworld Ishina-Lyat. Its a bit of Isha cult cus it was a temple to her that broke free from the empire before The Fall and split into revering her with guilt or rejecting all gods (they all got extreme mommy issues).
Her colours and shapes are soft and almost annoyingly round. The chains rusty and jagged. Lyat would only do the most romantised version of her.
Fucking loved drawing this, I wanna do Lealith or Khaine next... and then do they're actuall designs
best 2 seconds of my life
Me trying not to be haunted by the inherent influence pimarchs have on astartes and how it can make them act
Honestly this is one of the reasons I consider Astartes (and custodes even more so) to not be a power fantasy but more an exploration in powerlessness. Their bodies are not their own, their lives are not their own. Thereās ultimately always a theme of depersonalization and of lack of ownership of your own body.
Oh, very much so. Lore is very consistent on this point. 40k is not the satire GW claims it to be, but it still has quite a few subversive elements that it uses to emphasize the horror/dystopia of the setting, and occasionally the humor. From the drug fueled psychopathic goons of Rogue Trader to the stunted, brainwashed transhumans of today, space marines have always fallen in that category.
This is such a great way of describing it, you canāt leave it in the tags. Satire, at least good satire, is specific in its subject and aims. 40k media covers far too wide a range of topics, tones, and genres to really be called a satire, and a lot of its humor is just black comedy. But running through the franchise is this sly, kinda smirking undertone: āLook at these idiots. Can you believe what just came out of their mouths? What a pack of losers!ā It feels very British to me in a way that I canāt defineātheyāre taking the piss. Youāll be presented with situation after situation that is over-the-top to the point of absurdity, but theyāre all being played so straight that you just kinda go with it. And then you look back at what you just read or saw and go, āWait, was I supposed to take that seriously? Or was that a joke?ā And the answer is yes.
This touches on something I've always thought about 40k in that it is 'seriously silly'. 40k is deadly serious in how absurd and silly it really is when you get down to the nuts and bolts of things. Worth unpacking some more further in the future.
Blanche passed, Rest Well you legend.His Tau art deserves some shoutout.
The top one is suggested by some as what T'au looked like before the Ethereals, sword-and-pistol of their dark age, The Mont'au.

RIP John Blanche, 1948-2026.
Legendary artist John Blanche, whose illustrations defined Warhammer 40,000, and perhaps a large chunk of modern science fiction, has passed away. Despite his declining health, John was working on his own setting and game 'En Guarde' (a pirate skirmish game), showing that he was active and thinking of his fans until the end. May he rest in peace.
Blanche's Stormcast Eternals.
š¤š¤š¤ RIP John Blanche ššš
Rest in peace, John Blanche
The father of Warhammer 40k art direction and the man that has inspired me as an artist, down to inspiring my current artstyle (and I am sure will continue to inspire me, even in death). 40k just wouldn't be 40k had it not been for the foundation of grimdark sci-fi that he laid.
Farewell, you absolute legend.
Rest in peace, John Blanche. You had a truly monolithic, formative impact on both Warhammer as an IP, and the lives of countless fans and artists around the world.

John Blanche has passed away. For many decades, he was the Warhammer artist, drawing many iconic 40k and fantasy artworks, and pretty much established the vibe of the franchise. If you're a fan of Warhammer at all or even just sci-fi and fantasy artwork, you have got to give his artwork a look.
Because I'm a massive Eldar fan, I wanted to draw people's attention to how the scene with the Dire Avenger is pretty much a one-to-one reference of this classic 2nd ed artwork.
While not as direct, the Emperor of Mankind scenes are also reminiscent of the classic artworks below.
This is, in addition, to the always-amazing John Blanche depiction. It's sort of a blend of both.

This? This is the correct tone for the Imperium. This is the correct tone for 40k. Whoever did this gets it.
Love all the classic art references like the old with the Dire Avenger. Always happy to see my guys, even if it was for 2 secs. Seeing the Emperor on the Golden Throne and the biomass pools was a real treat, too.

Honestly so far my greatest gripe with reading codices is that they introduce some of the coolest stories with amazing potential.
Like this? This is *so* fucking cool. Iād love a story about a lone custodes becoming the protector of a colony or one being forced to become Queen of some backwater planet, or those Blinded Eyes, they sound awesome!
And then we get another novel about Imperial Guard Commissar or Space Marine Captain.
They need to poach some of the Codex writers for BL.
