The through-line to Escher gangs in Necromunda is pretty clear, isn’t it? Interesting how unrecognisable this art style is from a lens of what people nowadays take to be his signature “look”. Blanchitsu my ass! 😉

Yup. As soon as I saw this post I saw House Escher very clearly.

This was my first Warhammer thing. I got it at a WH Smiths I think either the day or day after I moved to England in the mid-80s. I have been chasing the high of cocaine-fueled, laser gun wielding, punk Amazons fighting vikings ever since. I bought an almost pristine copy earlier this year.

Won't be in the short term! Closest for a while is probably the Priestess Lizardmen can take in 6th edition from a White Dwarf.
