gakky writing aside, it does feature some kickass art:
That is a pretty great piece of artwork, but yikes! I would not want to be anywhere near the vicinity of that parade--or really anywhere that the Imperium was involved in for that matter. Though I can't help but chuckle at the thought of the skull-faced woman leading a Knight down Mainstreet as Sousa-esque band music clamors in their wake.

It certainly does crank up the body horror by a few notches, but you know, 40k needs more of this alien, outlandish and scary art, to really hammer home that this isn't our time.

I couldn't agree more! Seeing these images of "every day life" in the Imperium is what really fuels my imagination for the setting--more so than images of warfare conducted on an epic scale.

As I am building my Knight right now, I can't help but wonder how cool it would be to have a nicely done camo theme on a knight. But I might save that idea for another one. Currently doing a Templar themed Knight.

Seeing one with camo would work well, especially if you leave select panels in the "original" garish bright colours of the house it belongs to.

Fig in red (Mechanicus?) bears a passing resemblance to the Nepharya Necro Priestess from the TTG KS:

Swapping some of the back arms/claws with the 'foot" tentacles/dentrites to make the claw feet, adding skulls to the ends of some of the now back mounted tentacles/dentrites and adding the sword gets you pretty close to the GW illustration...
