aaaand we're back to your regularly scheduled space marine content
An obvious play on a famous image, with a 40k twist.

okay i really need to branch out from space marines, i am posting nothing but space marines...
Showing some love for Imperial titan and space marine enthusiast. I really like the appeal of giant robots with churches on top of it. It is just wild. That is why I really like Warhammer.

I decided to try my hand at doing a planet. Turned out okay! Not 100% happy with how all of the surface detail looks but overall I'm pretty satisfied still.
"In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now."
Mars, fourth from Sol. Birthplace of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the secretive priesthood that regulates the distribution and use of technology in Imperial space.
The Red Planet was the first of forge worlds, established by the nascent machine cult to safeguard technology and knowledge through the long millenia of the Age of Strife. Ever since Mars has been the strategic and economical center of the tech-priests' operations, supplying innumerable weapons, vehicles and equipment to the ravenous war machine that is the Imperium of Man.
The planet is ringed by great shipyards that labour endlessly to maintain and reinforce the Imperium's fleets and, in towering hive-factories that rise up as iron mountains through the lethally polluted atmosphere, billions of menials, enginseers and technomancers do their holy work to research, assemble and repurpose ancient tech-lore for use in this new, darker age.

time for something a little old-school - there's something so wonderfully imperfect about these older style illustrations
I always preferred figurative subjects rather than vehicles but after painting the first box cover I did this follow up.
My intention was to crop the image ,even parts of the tank itself really closely on a box cover and I left a huge amount of bleed surrounding the vehicle to enable it to be used in other formats. This was cheerfully ignored for the most part.
Gouache on board

transcript
a red chaos-infested landcrawler rolls over corpse-ridden ground, firing various guns and missiles. it is surrounded by various silhouetted chaos marines, one horned bolter-wielding marine in the forground. the air is filled with smoke

now i can't say with absolute authority that this is his; as he seems to have deleted all of his warhammer artwork (presumably as a response to games workshop being awful). but it matches his style, and 40k gallery claim that it's his and they tend to be correct

Last year I got to be part of the visual development of Cubicle 7 new Warhammer 40k TTRPG Imperium Maledictum. The goal was to infuse the visual style of the 40k universe with the gritty and gloomy feel of noir.
It was quite fun to explore spaces and themes that aren't always very visible in 40k media. Tim Huckelbery was of great help. Good times

where.. where do the crew go? do they have to climb around all the viscera every time they need to do maintenance?
the actual flagship image is the greyscale version; but i like the colour version much better

Interior art for" Warhammer 40,000 6th edition rule book". I leaped at the chance to paint this, tried to draw on all the art that was done of the Emperor. Adrian Smith set a really high bar and my only hope is that I do not fall too far short.....
to me this almost looks like ralph mcquarrie's early star wars concept art; particularly the sky and ships, and the power sword
