Swedish artist Johan Egerkrans has brought Scandinavian folklore to popular attention with his incredible books on monsters like Vaesen, Norse Gods, and Dragons. The critically acclaimed horror RPG Vaesen is based on his work, and his art has inspired countless scary adventures. And throughout it all Johan has remained a keen hobbyist whose Warhammer miniatures & conversions have been featured in White Dwarf!

We talk about drawing monsters from an early age, taking artistic inspiration from Paul Bonner & John Blanche, creating Vaesen and seeing it become a roleplaying game phenomenon, and converting Warhammer 40k miniatures for Inquisitor 28!

As one of the first authors to write fiction for Warhammer Nicola Griffith brought a unique voice to the Fantasy world. Her stories as part of the 1989 GW Books fiction line predate the Black Library by almost a decade, yet explore the setting with a literary curiosity and perspective that has rarely if ever been replicated.

We talk about becoming a self-made author, finding space for a unique voice in Warhammer, and the enduring legacy of those stories in later work.
