Imperialis_Dominatus Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Nice! If I had any criticisms, it would be that he seems not to have any weapons. Overall he could be any combination of fire, skeletons, and giants. He needs a little more 40k- chainsaw swords, rapid firing rocket launchers, etc. Otherwise, awesome!

mega_marines Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Honestly, if I saw that moving towards me, I'd honestly piss myself. Fantastic work. Just how I picture the Legion of the Damned, good sir.

Maratheus Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Your textures are awesome. The maxilla area of his skull could have been a bit larger to better emphasize the Astartes physique but that's personal preference methinks. Great work nontheless.

Mortarion Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 WOAH... :angry: That's an amazing picture! It might need a little bit more "marine" to it to feel like Legion of the damned, but if viewed as just a regular picture... awesome!

Brevik Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Really nice, frighteningly good! Love the flames, they remind me a little of the Balrog from the LOTR movies. I agree with mega_marines, if you saw that coming towards you, normal bodily functions might just do their own thing for a bit...

Wayward Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 As a stand apart piece of artwork, its F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! Now, on the cursed Astarte side... theres too much fire in it. You can barely see the armor, and Astarte its all about armor... Anyways, its a fine looking piece of owrk, congratz!!

Grimdarkness Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Wow Cool But i always thought the legion of the dammed burned with an eldricth fire for example a blue or green maybe purple flames. Anyway my two cents again cool pic. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147974-artwork-legion-of-the-damned/#findComment-1717065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 See, this is probably how the Flame Falcons looked towards the end (before the Grey Knights smacked them). I like this a great deal, just not sure (from a fluff standpoint) that the rolling fire really fits the Legion of the Damned.

Aqatone Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 As long as he isn't really fat underneath the flames like his fellow pie marine then I dig it!

highmarshalHelbrecht Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I sorry, I have to be the one that nit-picks, but if this is Legion of the Damned there would be no Imperial Eagle on his armor. Also I really can't make out any of his arms. From wiki: "The marines elected to remove all insignia from their armor. Instead their armor would be black, decorated by each brother with whatever emblems of death he chose." Otherwise, it's an awesome job! Keep up the good work!

Marovingean Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Truly Hardcore. If GW came up with stuff like that more often, we'd be all the more inspired to paint etc. Kudos.

Pulse Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I like this a great deal, just not sure (from a fluff standpoint) that the rolling fire really fits the Legion of the Damned. Seems fine to me, i mean they could possibley be the Fire Hawks chapter who were lost in the warp if so then whos to say that flames like that couldnt exist on the Legion of the Damned?

Captain Malachi Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 It's absolutely incredible, but it isnt the legion of the damned, sorry, but it isn't, since when has Gw been saying the legion of the damned are on fire?

Blindhammer Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 That's how I imagine LotD should look, burning with hellfire but impervious to it. I love this picture. What really makes it great are the heat haze around the flames and the burning embers floating up. Probably the best depiction of fire I've seen in a 40k image.

slah Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Love the bulk of him, and the heateffect(haze) from the flames, but the skull is to small. Overall 2 thumbs up though!
