Lucifer. First of the Host






M31. The Blood Angels stand of the brink of extinction. The painful reformation of the legions coupled with the horrendous casualties sustained by the IXth during the Heresy saw them unfit for battlefield duty for a full century after the Siege of Terra. With the baffling disappearance of Azkellon, the natural successor of Saguinius,the chapter fell to a series of commanders who quizzically remain anonymous in the annals of Imperial History. If we were to peak behind the pages of history, into the hidden histories of the Blood Angels we would learn that four Chapter Masters succumbed in quick succession to the Black Rage. It was believed the Chapter was cursed, punished for their failure to save their Angelic Father at Terra, censured for their failure to protect their spiritual creator - The Emperor.

The Red Priests, precursors to the Sanguinary Priests order, turned in desperation to the locked Sarcophagi of the restful dead. Therein they found the Nephillim, a band of warriors so ravaged physically and mentally by the War of Terra that they were honoured with the Perpetua una Dormienda seal - never to be awakened from their eternal sleep. Lucifer was chosen as the ninth Chapter Master of the Blood Angels....

Holy Terra that's a beautiful model mate.

I am simply amazed. That is an breathtaking model.

Holy Feth! That's absolutely amazing! The sheer level of detail and the thought that's gone into every element of it is stunning!

Ummmmm... speechless.

Wow...just...wow...

Your work is constantly inspiring, this is just amazing in every way.

Love your style of painting – very clean, but with great depth and well-observed 40k grittiness.

This piece in particular is absolutely stunning.

I have never been so jealous.

Thank you so much for the feedback guys. It's been a little overwhelming.

And apologist has commented! I hope you can see your influence in all of my work. I'll gush if I continue.

Wow this is absolutely fantastic. Amazing use of bitz and a killer paintjob to finish it off.

Amazing. Wow, thanks for sharing.

Yo dawg, I heard you like wings, so I put some wings on yo' wings, so you can wing your way to some more wings!

Seriously though, great stuff. Loving it. Did you go metallic, or NMM?

Very impressive! The more I look at it the more I appreciate the pose: it really has a "weightless" feel that is perfectly fitting with the figure and theme - like something from a Michelangelo painting. And combined with the impression that he is a man made of gold (and therefore weighing an incredible amount), seeing him float so effortlessly is even more impressive.

I love the use of multiple pairs of wings; in Islam some angels are described as having hundreds of wings, so for me this looks closer to what an angel might actually be than the more typical representations. I wish we could see some WIP photos. It looks to me like the top pair are from Warmachine's Aurora? And the lower two look like modified Sanguinary Guard wings?

All around amazing model. Very well done!

OMG this is so unreal.
