Fair enough. Plenty of official GW artists still give a fuck though because they're aware the artwork and the aesthetics are a major selling point for the setting. Hell some of Kopinski's works are what got me interested in it to begin with after hearing one of my siblings go on and on about it. If they could just hire cheap asshats for everything they would, but they can't. While there are definitly more mediocre artists now than back in the day there are also tons of very great pieces being made. That and codexes still using art from 2003 to this day.

Fair enough, Emperor's Children situation was truly absolutely a blast to the nuts, lost potential of a legion. It seems the only ones getting decent models these days are xenos factions and even than the eldar update was still kinda dissapointing. I liked the IG stuff though and if we can call Admech as nu-gw it's absolurely a army I adore but don't have the skills to paint.
