Simply awesome.

What medium did you use for this?

I know a few of you have asked, and this image was all done in photoshop with a tablet (a cintiq 12wx to be precise).

Also, thanks for all the praise I'll be sure to post future 40k stuff that I do here.

Photoshop!?!??! wow I thought you drew it!

I wish i had photoshop skills like that :( could you give us the details on like how you did it exactly?

He DID. That's what a tablet does, it lets you draw on the computer.

Very well done.

just, on the computer with a tablet



Occasionally I will draw on paper, scan in, and then paint on top of that as well. However, I generally work better starting with large masses and shapes and working detail into them.

I think the Gk is the right size.


that is Terminator armor afterall and it tends to add a good foot to their height.

Allow me for not apologizing for not replying to this thread when I first saw it (ie when it was first posted).

That artwork is seriously good dude! I implore you to do more!

Bravo , new desktop background . . . only one request . . . give us MOAR please

Great ! Love it.

The style is very good, and the scene choice also !

You should do some sort of battle scene.

perhaps the GKs banishing Angron?

That fluff is stupid. I wholeheartedly disagree with it.

I am not talking about Kaldor "kick primarch butt and then give him a tattoo to remember me by" Draigo, but rather 100 GKTs banishing Angron together at the 1st War for Armegeddon.

even a deamon primarch can't last forever

I've read the fluff on it; even the actual short story that includes the fight between the GKGM or Brotherhood captain (it's one or the other) and Angron. Sure, it fits with the GK fluff and their current rules (and also Angron's terribad WD rules.. dear lord they sucked).. but it was literally the GK's leader going mano a mano with a Daemon Primarch.

Totally just scribbled down a layout/idea for GKs vs Angron. @Darkvoidof40k, there are 4 GKs in the shot that I've scribbled down, maybe the implication of more.

But I have a commission piece to do for someone on the board first

Either way, sounds good! But.. Angron will be very hard to do. Not to mention the necessity of throwing in a few Bloodthirsters.

I can imagine it now; a forward-view on Angron, similar to below image but greatly expanded on, with the back of the GKGM and his companions shown as they charge the Daemons, Nemesis Force Weapons held high.



Also, I'll see if I can dig up the old WD with the story in, and find out what weapons the GKs had and any other important details.

Indeed very impressive work. Great job.

Very nicely drawn. The shoulder pads, though... eeesh...

My thoughts exactly.

Why is the Inquisitor only 4 feet tall? I'd think the Imperium would select for impressiveness in all ways.

Glad we're in agreement.

Its not that he is short, its just that I thought terminator armor made a Space Marines stature quite exaggerated and tall. Terminator armor 8.5ft-9ft tall or taller? I am not totally sure.

I'd have to look through my codicies to see if I can find a puny regular human, albeit a powerful inquisitor, standing next to a Space Marine in terminator armor.

Alaric, in Grey Knights, is at least 10ft, and he's just wearing normal power armor. Scale from this.

Edit: Yeah, Terminator armor* makes the Space Marine about 11-12ft tall.

* edit #2

Again, other than the pads, proportions are good. Very good.

*faints*

Inquisitors arn't always impressive physically. its entirely permissable to have a 98-lb weakling inquisitor, that just happens to be a potent psyker.


Naked, space marines vary from anywhere between 6-7.5 feet tall with 6 being the absolute minimum.

add PA for another 6" or so, and Terminator armor for another foot or so.

Space Marines are canonically 7 feet tall in their power armor very little variation between them.

Terminator armor also does not add 5 feet to their heights, mr Terminators are 12 feet tall. Honestly, I'm doubting your ability to correctly judge how big something 12 feet tall is if you say that.

@ Grey Knight- Why are you looking at naked space marines?

Why is it people always get my name wrong
