The Rise // The Fall

The Ullanor Crusade was a vast Imperial assault on the Ork Empire of the Greenskin Overlord Urrlak Urg during the Great Crusade. The Crusade included the deployment of 100,000 Space Marines, 8,000,000 Imperial Army troops, and hundreds of Imperial starships and their support personnel. The Ullanor Crusade marked the high point of the Great Crusade's vast effort to reunite the scattered colony worlds of humanity. Following the defeat of the Orks of Ullanor, the Emperor of Mankind returned to Terra to begin work on His vast project to open up the Eldar Webway for Mankind's use. In His place to command the vast forces of the Great Crusade He left Horus. Horus was granted the newly-created title of "Warmaster," the commander-in-chief of all the Emperor's armies who possessed command authority over all of the other Primarchs and every Expeditionary Fleet of the Great Crusade. Before returning to Terra to, the Emperor suggested to Horus that he rename the XVith Legion the "Sons of Horus," in honour of their Primarch and to show his preeminent place amongst the other Primarchs.

When the Emperor finally entered the throne room of the Vengeful Spirit, he saw the winged corpse of the angelic Sanguinius lying at Horus' feet. Horus called the Emperor foolish for refusing the power that the Chaos Gods offered to Men, and timid for not taming them to His will if He was truly the Master of Mankind as He claimed. Horus proclaimed that if the Emperor would kneel before him, then he would spare his life. But the Emperor, tens of millennia older than his misguided and once beloved son, knew well the ancient trap that had snared Horus. The Emperor told the corrupted Primarch that he was the deluded slave of Chaos, not its master, for no mortal could ever truly claim to be more than simply a pawn of the Ruinous Powers. Snarling, Horus hurled bolts of daemonic lightning at the Emperor, but the Emperor nullified them with His own immense psychic abilities. The die was cast. Each god-like being knew that the fate of humanity now hung in the balance.

"Praise be unto the God-Emperor. From the jaws of defeat, He brings victory. From the driest desert, He shall call forth the purest springs." — That one guy who looks a lot like Sigismund.

I drew One cunning handsome perfect "chapter master" dude, might aswell draw the other ones while I'm at it.

High Marshal Helbrecht, Vampire Killer(yeah that's right), Bane of the Unrighteous, Double Armageddon Fighter, Primaris conversion survivor, no-right-arm having knucklehead, Guilliman worrier, etc etc. Also Imotekh is a B—

IT AIN'T FAIR IF YOUR BODY REGENERATES DURING BATTLE, THIGH-LORD.

If Akurra and Hellie over here ever meet (I don't Think They ever have???) oh boy would that be FUN— Absolute Honor vs Absolute "I AM in your Walls"

Just a lazy 2625x3500 half rendered digital portrait of a Very tired son of Dorn. Also a progression of his face, Because... Damn, what a face, I have been loving this more classic painting-like style... May have to use it more...

I think my favorite thing about warhammer 40k is just having the setting as a back drop for quieter moments. A guardsmen sitting in the dirt and enjoying a ration, or a child handing a space marine a flower just feels so much more real and impactful when you have the image of eternal war in the back of your mind. Like there is an unimaginable level of death and suffering in the imperium alone, but its still a place where people live. And sometimes nice things still happen.

The christian family in these memes (which are absolutely all over facebook these days) genuinely do always look miserable. Who the fuck is relating to these stock mormon farm cultists. That is a couple who made love only once in pitch darkness with bags on their heads then celebrated the pregnancy with a feast of uncooked potatoes and warm tapwater. The baby seems intrigued though. Maybe only by the bottle of pills??
