Episode 6 - Oldhammer, Blanchitsu and the Soul of Warhammer

from The Meelas · host AD Wargaming

In this episode Simon, Ibrahim and Adam remember the legendary John Blanche and discuss the launch of the Meelas Blanchitsu Challenge, a community painting project honouring his enormous influence on Warhammer, Grimdark art and the visual identity of the hobby. The episode explores why his work still defines so much of Warhammer’s atmosphere, and then dives into Warhammer 40,000 Second Edition and why older editions can create unforgettable gaming stories. Whether you are a UAE or GCC wargamer, an Oldhammer fan, a player of Necromunda or Horus Heresy player, or you're just curious about the strange magic of 1990s Warhammer, this episode is a tribute to the art, rules and stories that keep the hobby alive.
