That's a picture of the Soviets taking Berlin with 40k stuff added.

I am quite fond of this, although it's old crons

My favourite 40k picture is actually the image in my avatar...

Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what picture it is, or where I can find it in full-size, or any artist info...

I found it on a Dark Eldar video. Tha's all ah know.. :(

If anyone actually recognises the pic in my avvy, I'd appreciate anything you know!

A light hearted one which I always like

Ah, the days of SMs whose heads aren't dwarfed by their shoulderpads.

here you go. It's a banshee (you can tell from the helmet and hair sticking out the side) Though this particular picture seems to have suppressed the boobs. The green color makes it seem like a striking scorpion but there's no mandible laser so hope you enjoy
She just happens to be killing on a dark eldar planet so I think it got mislabeled as DE

What do mean "added"? That's the original picture right there.

Yes of course...my mistake.

And then jam out to hymns of praise in prison.


(I hope SOMEONE gets what the pic is a reference from, lest I look like an even bigger fool than usual)

Who could forget such timely classic tunes as 'Sweet Home Cadia', 'Shake a Tred Fether', 'Theme from Squighide', and 'Mortarion the Moocher'.

Those are alright, I'm a bigger fan of 'Cellblock A472 Rock'


Now I want to do a themed army off of that movie... 70's blues / Slaanesh themed IG?

Ahhhhh!! Thank you SO much sudojoe!
Where the devil did you find her?

Oh by all the gods of Chaos this would be so awesome.

Don't thank me, thank uncle google =)

You just gotta know what to type into the search box. Banshee hair, 40k, dark eldar (for the background) or green also helps

Google IS brilliant for that. It would have been quicker simply to drag the image from the avatar into Google Image search. It brings up ‘matching images’, and shows the full–length versions there.

Um thats a pic of soviet russia o.O

It was until someone added the Titian. Now its a 40k pic

I love Sisters artwork. I've always wanted to collect them but the lack of a real codex and available models isn't worth it yet. Anyway, here's one of my favs.

I lol'd.

I've got a few to post:

This first one is a triage tag. Credits to BornInMoradel on DeviantArt.

Wow, thanks for the shout out here Croaker, much appreciated

I have tons of them, but for the sake of picking one, and not searching endlessly through my folder, here is this great picture of Russ from deviantart.

This pic from the 3ed rule book was the first picture of a Space Marine I had ever seen and is what drew me into the hobby

There seems to be quite a collection of exquisite imagery accumulating upon this forum, some of which, I have never seen before! I am an Imperial Guard collector so, of course a lot of art work out their appeals to me, but I would have to say that these are among my favourites:

This one has always been one of my fav pictures:

Also, can someone please explain to me how to make the picture appear directly in the post? Thanks. :-)

This one I also love: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs30/f/2009/245/d/f/Until_The_Day_We_Die_by_Destr3ga.jpg

There is a distinct lack of classic artwork on this thread! To re-address that balance, some of the more technically impressive pieces from over the years..

I enjoy this guys stuff as well, even if the artist is a complete tool.
I like Guard art a lot, and Traitor Guard do not get much attention, but I think this guy does it well.

Serious





This is the single most ballsy man in the Imperium. Stood up to Hours and gave the Emperor enough time to kill him. http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Ollanius_Pius

Nah this one is the best and funniest

Simple, classic. I adore Sisters-- now if only GW would let me feasibly start and play the army...

Deathwing the way we should be in our robes kicking posterior.
