Welcome to the not so distant future, where someone besides John Blanche is trying to accelerate the grim dark process into fruition.
Meet Kris Kuski, American sculptor and painter who's mainstream work seems to emulate a lot 40k background.
According to his biography: "In personal reflection, Kris feels that in the world today much of mankind is oftentimes frivolous and fragile, being driven primarily by greed and materialism. He hopes that his art exposes the fallacies of Man, unveiling a new level of awareness to the viewer."
His work has even caught the eye, and been used by, famous movie director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth Hellboy II, Hobbit Screenplay).
Will his work bring about the Age of Strife? I doubt it, but it's kinda neat to see the grim dark outside of tabletop gaming for once. -MBG

We don't know what goes on inside Kris Kuski's head, but we'd sure like to. The Kansas-based artist had the (possibly divine) inspiration to construct sculptures of churches on tanks. It's unclear if this intends to juxtapoz the past with the present, discuss different instruments of fear or critique the horrors of war. Whatever, it looks really, really cool.
Kuski also paints, draws and makes ornate sculptures that wouldn't look out of place in Notre Dame, but the main theme of his work seems the be the fragility of humankind. Heavy.
