Artist's Comments
Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend and, as usual, here I am trying to start the week with a good dose of artwork. It's been a while since I put up anything related to the Dark Millenium of Warhammer 40,000, my desintoxicating from it and all. But the work and commissions are still a go in my schedule and all the projects related to the grim dark of the far future are very much alive. Such is the case with this new illustration, depicting one of the mighty Primarchs; the powerful children of The Emperor of Mankind. This one particularly, is the renowned lord of the lightning strikes: Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars. As usual, I'm quite proud of how this one turned out and I think it's a worthy successor of my last Primarch and an "up to standard" companion to all his brothers. However, I do feel he stands out a bit more, because of his ethnic backround. The White Scars Legion is the only oriental themed Legion in the background and it was a great challenge and a pleasure to instill into the Mighty Khan that Chinese/Japanese/Mongol flavour, without sticking to any in particular and rather enhancing his archetypal nature as the perfect Eastern Warrior. Also, and something else worthy of notice is the background of this piece. The White Scars were renowned for their skill and excellence in the field of fast attack; their motorbike assaults were (and still are in the 41st Millenium) unrivalled and that stems from the fact that in their homeworld of Mundus Planus (also known by its natives as Chogoria) the Khan won all of his battles and unified the planet with the force of his cavalry (a homage to Genghis Kahn, obviously) and his lightning strike tactics. This was achieved mainly because Chogoria was a rich planet, very fertile and filled with green plains, tall mountains and blue seas. Thus, upon reading that description of a homworld, it struck me as one of the very few not to have such a gothic and decayed atmosphere as others. Something interesting to depict! I hope you enjoy it, as usual, and let me know what you think! Nic.- PS.. Another detail for you to check out: the writing in his purity seals is in oriental form too  ...© Games Workshop Ltd. 2009 |

WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM
As well with how you use white in your pictures. White attracts the eye the fastest, and where you place your whites are just spaced enough for it to not be too confusing, and gives the looker (or me, at least) time to breathe and admire your picture as a whole as well as see the bigger details you've set up for us.

The colours and the detail are just breath-taking.
Especially love his sword
Sorry, couldn't resist.
One detail that I LOVE is the swirling horses around his forearms. Little details like that make this one stand out. Being one of the few 'ethnic' primarchs in the group I'd say you did a great job getting the Asian theme down.
Well done!
The whole GRIMDARK ethos comes about, of course, when you pull back to see just how screwed everything is overall.
The sword is smaller than in most 40k art, but, it is not size that matters, it is the undoubtedly stunning craftsmanship that went into it, and the hands that wield it that matter.
The script running vertically is a great touch! Awesome job!
