Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Ok, so for those who may be interested in the B&C's Arena of Death this year, it is now back up and running. That means I've removed the Teaser intro I put up a while back, but today Im putting something else out there for those of you who want to be reminded that the AoD is there and that it is providing you with lots of stories and inspiration in a Community Campaign made by the Community for the Community. So first of is the Nestir V Desktop wallpaper. 1024 x 768 x 72 dpi resolution. - Other res can be provided on demand. http://www.codexguardianangels.com/nestir_v/Nestir-V-Desktop-1024.jpg Secondly we have the official Nestir V banner: http://www.codexguardianangels.com/nestir_v/chill-banner.jpg To use it, just paste this code into your signature field: [url="http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showforum=25"][img=http://www.codexguardianangels.com/nestir_v/chill-banner.jpg][/url] Stop by the Arena of Death, and...

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thank you people! Hopefully someone will actually use them, and even paint the marking on their model(s). More will follow. - In due time. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137022-artwork-nestir-v-aod-artwork-thread/#findComment-1580160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ok, so time for another update. I guess the Nestir V logo Desktops are a bit of a niche product, but still, here are a few more. Bet you didnt know Nestir V has an astroid belt, did you? Well, I figured a planet that is waaay bigger than the earth would have one. So far the story has been taking place near the polar region, so the rings havent affected the story, but who knows, maybe they will play a part yet. :blink: Anyway, here are the Imperial and Chaos versions of the Nestir V Planetary Desktop: http://www.codexguardianangels.com/nestir_v/nestir-v-planetary-desktop-imperial.jpg http://www.codexguardianangels.com/nestir_v/nestir-v-planetary-desktop-chaos.jpg Cheers!

Reyner Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks for the complement Chaptermaster Graymantle :o I chose the Chaos wallpaper, love the way the icon looks liked it's been eclipsed by the planet. But one thing, it's probably just my desktop but half of the Nestir V text is covered by the windows start bar but it's not a major problem as the planet is the main focus of the image.

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Again, glad to hear your using them. Im sure you will see a few more before the AoD is done. Still hoping more people will make some Nestir V AoD illustrations though. Oh, and: Thanks! ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137022-artwork-nestir-v-aod-artwork-thread/#findComment-1593302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ok, so time for another piece for Nestir V. This time its not a wallpaper, but rather a picture of the Guardian Angels' new Commander of the Eighth. - Drako Kinghorn. The background story here goes that Iniel Bannister, the former Commander was injured to the point of death at Nestir V, and is now interred in a Dreadnought. So his Captain became Commander, while Bannister was forced to take command of the Nestir Crusade, as Chief of Operational Command. This picture started when I was playing with the B&C Marine painter, trying new colour schemes for the Guardian Angels, because Im intending to change it a bit. Then I took what I got from the painter and ran with it. This is actually a work in progress image, as my intention is to expand the view to include a retinue of four Marines, and the Dreadnought form of Bannister behind Commander Drako, with Hive City Primus sitting in the frozen landscape of the background. Once finished it will probably see the light of day as a wallpaper to. Anyway, here we go: http://www.codexguardianangels.com/nestir_v/8th-Co-Commander-Drako-at-Nestir.jpg Oh, by the way: On demand, the original inspirational teaser for Nestir V is also back online: http://www.codexguardianangels.com/nestir_...aod-teaser.html Enjoy! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137022-artwork-nestir-v-aod-artwork-thread/#findComment-1662058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Cambrius Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Supreme work Graymantle. I hope the image of the "Crimson Winged Arch-Angel" will turn up soon, it would really help my intro story.

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thank you guys! :P As for the image of Bannister, Im afraid its still far off Cambrius. Im quite certain it will not be ready in time for your story.

Yogi Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 He's got no depth perception! Ay cool graymantle.. I personally love the first wallpaper. Im gonna have to bring a USB so it can be a wallpaper on my uninternet connected pc (only internet thru a friends house).

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks Yogi! The first wallpaper is definitively my favourite as well. :tu: The last image is a wip and will be part of a larger work. Hopefully the image overall will have more of the depth you miss. Edit: I just realized what you meant was he has only one eye. Well, he can cope. After all, he is a Space Marine ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137022-artwork-nestir-v-aod-artwork-thread/#findComment-1665862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ok, so people have been waiting to see what the Nestir V Crusade Commander looks like, and finally, here he is: Commander Iniel Bannister - The Chrimson Winged Arch Angel. http://www.codexguardianangels.com/images/aod/nestir-v/dread-cmdr-bannister.jpg Still hoping to see more people make artwork inspired by the Nestir V AoD! Im currently planning to make a web site to collect the work made in this AoD, and a few cool art pieces from the talented artists of the B&C would help. Anyway, hope you like the new Commander.
