Artist's Comments

Since moving into my new house I've been re-introduced to the world of Warhammer (and WH 40000), and I've been thinking 'space marines... now, they're *much* cooler than I remember them being'. Which gave rise to this essentially. It's based loosely on a rather shiny inquisitor model which I used copiously for reference. I *think* this counts as fan art. Oh well, it's here anyway.
I'm going to be interested to see how many people who watch me know (or should I say care XD) what this is.

Und die laufen vom Gesicht.
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser,
so die Tränen sieht man nicht.

I kinda dig the dark Eldar myself... :) I'm not very good at WH though. I picked them because I like the way they look. Luckily I have a friend that's teaching me tactics. I'll show him this, i'm sure he'll be as impressed as I am. Very nice!

Sure he doesn't know fear at all...
But background wise two things are not perfect.
Bolter is not standard type bolter as a ultramarine he's supposed to have, but a deathwatcher bolter. The "things" on the side are a sort of feeds for not standard bullet, like hellfire bullets. Btw we can suppose he's a tyranid hunter, so the bolter fit the bg. Another thing not really right is the left shoulderpad, similar to deathwatcher shoulderpad (the one with =I= simbol). Sure these things come from the fact you use Artemis from Inquisitor range for model, and he's a Marine form deathwatchers.
Apart these two little things... Excellent work, may Emperor bless you.

Ah, I didn't realise he was a deathwatch marine! Thanks for pointing out the inconsistancies in my conversion. Worth mentioning that on top of what you pointed out, I forgot to draw his backpack too XD
I'm actually an Eldar player myself, but the latest Ultramarines models are absolutely amazing!
Thanks for the comment ^_^

Thats awesome, you really captured the idea of a space marine brilliantly. You should see if GW would pay you for a few peices, i gather they pay quite well.

Very cool!

I played Orks once upon a time. I loved painting them!!! I have a pic of some of them in my gallery of them. I spent so much time working on them, haha.
