I actually agree with this, I feel around Storm of Chaos the art style changed and looks way too propagandic for empire for a lot of the "major" pieces that were prominently used. I feel like it was partly by design and partly just that the artists they hired to work on empire had been doing a lot of 40k battlepile pieces and kinda couldnt get out of that look.

I love the old 6e and before art of the empire so much. Someone on tg once said about the troll fight piece something along the lines of

"See this is what warhammer is about. This is a hugh fantasy world where mighty heros with dragon slaying swords or great and wise wizards with powerful arcane might exist, but there arent enough of them to go around.

So when three of the town's children get eaten by trolls, you and the other lads from the local inn have to haul out your dad's armour that he fought in the last war against chaos in, pick up your halberd and go down to the swamp together and absolutely murder the shit out of some trolls because the local heros are all too busy with more important shit"
