If we're talking about Warhammer, are we ignoring the bank Bolt Thrower, an early 90's death metal band devoted to 40k, who included cover art from Games Workshop itself, and included such albums as "Realm of Chaos", and the songs "Profane Creation", "Lost Soul Domain", "Drown in Torment", and "Prophet of Hatred"?

IIRC the Bolt Thrower association goes back to before 40K, but my memory is hazy.

40K is, if you ask me, the first hint of the beginning of the end of Warhammer (quite early on). Though I did have a go at the Adeptus Titanicus stuff.

The high point for me was WFRP. I found my 1986 hardback first edition of that the other day.
