Salutations, watchers and watcherettes...

In keeping with my promise of instilling life to the Gallery, I've put my pride aside and decided to upload works (if disclosure agreements permit) as I finish it, whether they're worth it or not of being amongst what I consider my best.

This one will appeal to all of you Imperial citizens. An illustration of some of the legends of the Blood Angels.
I've always loved illustrating this Chapter and, even though the Ultramarines are the chosen ones to represent the best of the Astartes, they've always seemed to me to be very good examples of what a Space Marine is. In fact, it was even acknowledged by Horus himself that the Warmaster title should've been given to his brother Sanguinius.
So, important fellows indeed.

I tied to keep the colours very tight and in tune with the Chapter's scheme. Golds, reds and white are predominant. I've also used (at the express request of the client) the same composition of my Mournival piece and to great effect I think.

As usual, you'll be the true judges of this piece. I hope you enjoy it.

Nic.-

Left to Right I believe is;

Lord Commander Cervan Dante, Astorath the Grim, Sanguinary Guard Member, and Sanguinor, Exemplar of the Host.

Love your work. :)

Right on most, but the Sanguinary Guard are all gold. Third from left's simply a Veteran.
