For those that don't know Jes Goodwin, he is the designer, concept artist and sculptor behind most of
Games Workshop's most iconic creations - Space Marines, the enigmatic Eldar race, High Elves, Skaven, the Tale of Painters
original Necromunda gangs, and countless more. Together with John Blanche, he is probably the most Mi piace questa Pagina 3206 "Mi piace"
in uential designer and artist of Games Workshop. I strongly recommend picking up White Dwarf October
2016 for an in-depth interview with this genius.

so have a look at its contents in our Eldar Sketchbook review here. As the Asuryani Sketchbook is about 40

Missing are Archons, Beastmasters, Razorwing ocks, Ur-Ghuls, Voidraven bombers and oddly there are no
sketches of Wyches apart from their heads and weapons. The Yncarne is also missing as the model was
based on a concept sketch by John Blanche.

Conclusion
These books sure are pricey and you can't pick them up at a discount as they are online shop exclusives,
but they have very nice production values. Compared to some of the more silly Black Library and limited
Edition codices it's not too bad. If you are an Aeldari fan, you will want to have a copy of these tomes, and if
you already own The Eldar Sketchbook, there is still a lot of new stuff to discover. The only "real" downside
is that the Asuryani book, even with the expanded content, still feels a bit incomplete. I wish they wouldn't
have limited themselves to feature only Jes' artwork, as I guess there is a lot of concept art by other
designers who had a hand in working on the Eldar range (such as the mentioned Yncarne art by John
Blanche).
