++The final wish of Magnus the Red was thus: Save my sons. The Emperor complied, transporting away the remaining Thousand Sons to Terra. But Magnus himself was beyond saving, his physical form was broken, murdered in a bloody rage by Leman Russ, and now, only shards of his soul remained. The master of mankind, in order to make sure what was left of his son would not fall to the powers of Chaos, he bound one of these shards to Ahzek Ahriman. As the two souls merged, an entirely new entity was born. Janus, now the chapter master of the Thousand Sons, made a final plea to the Emperor to help him rebuild the broken Legion, and to his relief he was given access to the Gene labs with pure gene seed. The Thousand Sons - now reborn as the Gray Knights - would be ready for the incoming siege.++

The Thousand Sons join the fray with a new fresh look! It seems like I have completely abandoned the 1 hour challenge at this point, oh well 😂

++The lone legionnaire of the Word Bearers decended unto the battlefield, his hand resting on the scripture that was on his chest as a bright light enveloped him. The smaller Daemons tried to attack but burned when they got close, realising too late their mistake before they could get away. The Ultramarines looked on in fear as the Word Bearer, seemingly radiating his very faith and spirit, approached the traitors, and as the legionnaire switched his grip on his war mace, he turned his gaze towards them, uttering two words:

"For Monarchia."++

The AU Word Bearers are here, or: AU where Lorgar wasn't bullied by big E. Super fun drawings this one!!

++The Salamanders, the noble but brutal warriors of Nocturne and proud sons of Vulkan, largest and mightiest of the Primarchs. Furtunate are we that they yet choose to fight for the Imperium of Man.++

More AU art! A Salamander having some "hammer time" with an unfortunate Alpha Legionnaire 🔨

Another Piece for the Horus Heresy Alternatus! Next up is the World Eaters, but because I'm going into surgery now it might be a while untill I finish that ✌

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-

Only this, and nothing more."

Tzeentchian Raven Guard being very mean to a good boy Salamander. This became a 3 hour drawing because I said "screw it! I ain't making no half assed wings on this fancy lad"!

The Night Lords, heirs to the liberator of Nostramo Konrad Curze, and by blood fated to suffer their progenitors illnesses, but also his devotions and loyalty. So when the Horus Heresy began, Konrad and his legion did not falter or hesitate. The Night Haunter ordered his warriors to split up and spread out, wherever the enemy showed themselves, they would be ready to face them; and so they flung themselves into the fray, hiding among the sewers and dark alleys of many loyal Imperial worlds, and after waiting many moons, the first to face their fury was the hated Blood Angels. The barbaric and vampiric astartes threw themselves at the civilian populations, but were they thought they would find a feast, they only found death.

.

My bois the Night Lords are here! This is actually the 3rd version of this drawing because I wasn't happy with the two previous ones, but now the totally not slavic space vampire hunters are here and I love them.

Born from violence they rise to glory. Fueled by vengeance they kill for a father murdered. Clad in crimson they slay for an imperium betrayed. Fear the World Eaters, for they are coming for your head.

.

Kharn leads the AU World Eaters to glory and they are now done!! Next up is the arch traitors themselves: The Sons of Horus

++The Space Wolves. Mighty and ferocious warriors originating from the cold and harsh world known as Fenris. There, strength was valued above all else, for if you could not overcome the dangers of their world, you will die. And so on this world landed the gestation pod of the infant Leman Russ...

Now the world of Fenris is gone, and the Wolves have been unleashed upon Prospero, and its master, Magnus the Red, is dead at the hands of Leman Russ, the Daemon Primarch of Khorne. Now thousands more worlds will burn, just as Prospero burned, the final words they would ever hear:

"Blood for the blood God. Skulls for the skull throne."++

The Space Wolves! Man I had a lot of fun with this one, redesigning the Wolves has been a project long overdue 🇸🇪
