Artist's Comments
Well, as you'll read in my latest Journal, some of my latest commissions have to do with the Dark Millenium (which I'm known for!) and this is one of those aforementioned illustrations.
This image is the property of painter extraordinaire Chris Borer: multi-Slayer Sword winner! I've always enjoyed working with him a lot, because he has great ideas he pitches to me, and together we're able to bring the characters to life in a very unique way. He's also one of the few people I know that can nit-pick a work to death and always be right on the spot about the changes (the other is *1mpact...) This time, he gave me the opportunity to tackle characters of legend I'd always wanted to illustrate: "Little Horus" Aximand, Abaddon, Loken and Torgaddon, the fabled Mournival brotherhood that the Warmaster Horus trusted to counsel him during the Great Crusade's last days, before the Heresy. Ever since I read Horus Rising (first of the Horus Heresy books) by Dan Abnett I've wanted to illustrate Loken and the rest of the characters; but Loken particularly. And, I think I've done quite a good job on him and the others. There are a lot of details you'll hopefully recognise: the moon phases each Company Captain was associated with in the Luna Wolves's ranks; the similarity of the face of Aximand to my own rendition of Horus, as well as the hints of the eye of Horus, or the company numerals on their armours; or the Terra wth Luna in the middle panel, a nod to the fluff that said that Luna Wolves recruits were organised and bio-enhanced into Space Marines in the Moon labs... As far as colours go, this is also a piece that makes me proud: I've kept cool grays on the armours and went full warm on the backdrops, to make the characters stand out more; and the armour itself looks as if it was newly polished, which is also great, because it conveys that sense of hope and high honour of the Pre-Heresy days. So, I won't bore you to death with more and hope you enjoy this piece and let me know what you think as usual! Nic.- PS.. For more info on The Mournival: [link] PS II.. I'm keen on hearing *MaKo85's opinion; if I remember correctly, she had a very strong thing for Captain Garviel Loken  ...© Games Workshop Ltd. 2009 |

Proud to be an optimistic cynic!
