In an incredible career artist Adrian Smith has produced some of the most iconic Games Workshop art for the worlds of 40k and Warhammer Fantasy.

From his early work drawing playful Nurglings and dramatic scenes for the Realm of Chaos to his unforgettable renderings of Warmaster Horus and the Emperor of Mankind in their final encounter, and countless incredible book, box, and game besides, Smith has helped to define the look and feel of Games Workshop.

In the years since leaving GW Smith has produced a huge volume of work for wargames like Chronopia and several board games from CMON, including The Others, Rising Sun, and most recently a game inspired by his own comic book The Chronicles of Hate.

In conversation with Adrian Smith we talk the history, the process, and the future of making art for tabletop games, and some of the greatest art from Games Workshop’s past.
