Oh... Oh wow...

Funny, I was looking for the Primarchs in the middle of the picture, then I saw them off to the side. I like the fact that the emphasis seems to have been taken off them a little.

And that Dreadnought, awesome...

Khemri has a new desktop background.

I actually like the Emperors Children sargeant on the bottom left wielding that broadsword. A good picture of the legion fighting. Tight, disciplined lines and a leader in the fore commanding by example.

calvor · 05-30-2007

Now that looks cool, good find there Erus.

Imperial Commander Gent · 05-31-2007

OH MY! That is one hell of a find!

side note; I think it was Ikarus who found it.......

Cagarner · 05-31-2007

Yes, all the pre-herecy pictures are awsome. There are 4 others too: http://www.blacklibrary.com/freestuff/hr-wallpapers.asp

Imperial Commander Gent · 05-31-2007

Wow, those are awesome too! I like the fake gods one meself!

MSguardsmen · 05-31-2007

hmm cant say im not a little dissapointed in ferrus magnus appearance. i was expecting something a little better.

wait is it proven that it is indead ferrus? i thought he had silver hands/arms

aside from that i found it to be very good artwork. im just glad they got the EC before slaanesh came and turned them all tentacles and nasty

TheKiller333 · 05-31-2007

WOWOWOW? That rocks?

Icarus Athrasuriel · 05-31-2007

My...god?!

It's beautiful, amazing picture. I'm not bothered that there was less emphasis on the Primarchs, as they should almost never be the focal point. There, but not distracting. Amazing find.

BrainDeleted · 05-31-2007

Its pretty but I must agree with MSguardsmen, It doesn't look much like Ferrus to me...why does he have a big wrentch and that whacky backpack...makes him look more like an ork big mek then a Primarch...plus in the pic the Iron hands armor is silver when in reallity its black?

Icarus Athrasuriel · 05-31-2007

Many Legions repainted their armour after the heresy, as every legion had heretics within their ranks, from a couple of Astartes to entire Legions. Either way, for Loyalists, the shame was unbearable, and many Legions repainted their armour as a way of wiping themselves clean.

BrainDeleted · 05-31-2007

Actually, though you would be right for most legions, the Irons Hands livery hasn't changed ever and there are no instance of Iron Hands turning heretic

I have their Index Astartes article

05-31-2007

So then who would it be?

BrainDeleted · 05-31-2007

It probably is meant to be Ferrus Manus...their representation of Ferrus Manus is just weird thats all

Imperial Commander Gent · 05-31-2007

Well, if its not Ferus Manus then I really cant see who it is.....

MSguardsmen · 05-31-2007

i dont know maybe an iron father or whatever they are called. i just always imangined that Ferrus would be alot better and more kick arse looking then this space marine thats blocking a sword swipe with his arm, is carrying a giant wrench and a weird as heck back pack

BrainDeleted · 05-31-2007

Yeah, thats pretty much my point. Where did the wrench and backpack come from theres nothing in the fluff to support that even remotely :P

BrainDeleted · 05-31-2007

Now this is what I think of when I see the name Ferrus Manus

...oh crap...sorry for the double post

MSguardsmen · 05-31-2007

my god its beautiful. this is ferrus manus.

06-23-2007

Sadly boys, it is the iron hands. Look at the dreadnought, middle right, and the left banner. It has the Iron hands Symbol. Considering the figure dueling Fulgrim is the size of Fulgrim, that leaves only one option. Ferrus Manus.

Perturabo · 06-24-2007

I just love the huge Pipe Wrench the Ferrus is holding

Killermoose · 06-24-2007

Hmm, the Fulgrim one does look pretty good... I've got to say though, the False Gods cover looks amazing! They've really captured the true image of Marines in that one... fine work!

considering I have talked to (well, on the internet, and on a forum at that) the man who drew that... I must say I agree with you

And yes, GW's 40k artwork is really not notch... wish I had more.

For more 40k art... this is some character sketches on the BI website for the Upcoming 40kRPG here: http://www.blackindustries.com/?temp...content=art-dh

Oh, erus, thanks for giving the link!

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 06-25-2007

i really am not a fan of this type of artwork. give me a karl kopinski piece anyday over this, though i must say of the five screensavere on the BL site, th this one is the best.

and why are the primarchs so big? i was under the impression that the only giant was magnus (im sayign big relative to the marines in the foreground, which are so much smaller than the duelling primarchs).

The size disparity between a primarch and marine is like unto a normal man to a marine. I forget where I read it, but in an older book I read it quoted Sanguinius as being too tall to enter a 15 foot door (keep in mind this is with wings). A regular man is about 5'10"-6' in IG armor. A Space Marine, in armor, is around 9 at shortest, 10 at tallest (varying between Chapter/Legion). A primarch, therefore by scale, would be about 11 to 14 or so feet tall. The Custodes fell in between here, and the emperor topped out at roughly twenty.

The Emperor height is drawn by conjecture. It is said his statues were made in perfect image and proportorion to the real him. A space marine in this same book it was said could see the mid of his kneepad on the statue. Using this, it is safe to say 16-20 ft.

Did everyone follow that?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 06-26-2007

thats the first ive ever heard of this. all the artwork ive seen of the Emp (inluding both of Adrian Smith's wonderful pieces) show him as the size of a normal marine.

even so, those primarchs look huge - much bigger than the difference between a human and marine. theyre at last twice the size of the marines in the foreground ,taking perspectvie into account

06-26-2007

If you take this artwork here.. http://library.galciv2.com/mvlib/ss/...eror-horus.jpg into account, the Emperor is at least the size of a primarch, given adjustments for his stance and Horus being higher on the set of steps than him, as well as in termie armor.
