Hello Dark Heresy fans!

This week, I present a designer diary with a glimpse into the art process for Dark Heresy and a first sneak preview (more are on the way) of The Radical's Handbook. Enjoy!

Thank you thank you thank you.

Now if we can just have word on RT....

The text of the entry is not thaaat interesting. The picture definitely is.

Thumbs up!

Finaly! Well, text is not so thrilling altough intresting, but pdf preview ministoryreport is so sweet... traitorous sorita? Kaede corssing Rykheous (my two favourites from Core Rulebook)? Nice, looking forward for more previews

What's slightly depressing about this teaser is that it mentions that it's the first of a series of teaser for the Radical's Handbook coming "over the next few weeks." Why tease a product when it's imminent...er...because it's NOT imminent...

@Lightbringer
Please, please do not push me face forward into this... I am clinging to this "it is in the PRESS" with tooth and nail!"...although I share your believes/fears.

@The article

I am dismayed. Again, the Teaser centers on artwork. We had plenty of coverage of the artwork before. While I am very glad that the request ("how about a page from the book?") was heared and answered... it would have been more interesting.. well, if the page would have been more interesting. Perhpas some fluff about the Malatek Stalkers, the Mutants or anything else that is introduced in "Radicals Handbook".

@a word about futur teasers for Radicals
If Lightbringer is right and it is still quiet a long time till the thing is release... please-please-please stop "teasing" with artwork.
The friends of the art had there share, no give the scribes there due!

!THANK!YOU!

Thanks for the fluff but for future references I think the vast majority of us prefer that over artwork dribble. Hereteks are cool. Go off that and you can't go wrong.

Ha ha! Oh man! I bloody know where that story of Adept Grendel came from. I was there when that story first hit the internet and managed to catch the following installments. I swear there is no bloody way that the later stuff happened. Yeah, an Adept getting lucky and one-shotting a Charnal Daemon with Crits was believable, but by the end with the tank and the Demon Prince and the Space Wolves and the giant battle in that Hive its was getting pretty out there.

This Diary feels like an inside joke almost. The people who would enjoy have to have been there for the Grendel Story. I was entertained, but I can't see a ton of other people being the same.

Art's not dribble! Without it, we wouldn't have the 40k universe. It's predominantly built upon it's own aesthetic and look and most "fluff' exists to explain this art.

Either way, good diary in my opinion. I'm always interested in a behind the scenes look on how these books come into being!

Yeah, Grendel being in there is a bit silly. Although if I didn't know where it came from I probably wouldn't care...

What I meant was the process of making individual artwork. Compared to final picture, both the artist and his or her work are nothing. Instead it is the symbolism that their product carries that portrays its quality. Oh and the reason I don't like seeing all this "how it is down" is because Iike to look at the finished product first. Only then can I appreciate the nuances of their work. However, you are entitled to your opinion.
