Hrafn Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 So, I thought I'd share this art project I've been pottering around with. I'm calling it 'The 20 Legions'. The idea is to do a piece for each of the First Founding Legions (both loyal and Chaos). That piece should in some way relate to what the army in question is like. Anyway, I currently have 2 down, three in progress and the remainder to go. Here is what I've done so far... The Lost Legions: this one's a bit of a cheat as it's two in one. It's supposed to represent the two 'lost' Legions. Obviously it's a bit anachronistic ('modern-era' power armour rather than Heresy) but given that we don't know anything about the Lost, I figured some artistic license was allowable! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a116/davidnm/Unknown_BC.jpg The Imperial Fists: they're not one of my personal favourites. However, the impression I have of the Fists is vaguely Prussian, serious, orderly and devoted to tradition. So I thought I'd depict some sort of ceremony. Here we have a new Fist (the kneeling one) being sworn into the Chapter. He's about to load his bolter for the first time... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a116/davidnm/Initiation_BC.jpg The Black Legion: again, not my favourite on the Chaos side of things ... but here they are. This one is still at the line-art stage; a coloured version will arrive at some point. I don't have a strong feel for the Black Legion, but I thought them celebrating the sacking of an Imperial temple was a reasonable enough image. SO here they are, burning the fittings... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a116/davidnm/BL_BC.jpg If you like these, there are higher-res versions at my DeviantArt gallery, along with some other 40k stuff.
