Jeffy.Gee Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Which legion is displayed on the front of this HH book? Either Word Bearers of World Eaters right? JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badaboom Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yes, a horrible cover trying to depict Angron as a B-movie villian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I believe I read somewhere that its meant to be the World Eaters during the siege of the Palace of Terra (they have red armour, so there is no other possibility as the Primarch sure as hell isn't Lorgar).

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm not certain that's supposed to be Angron on the cover; looks more like a World Eaters Captain to me. Doesn't seem big enough to be Angron himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 There was a quote from someone (I'm not sure, it may have been James Swallow) over on the BL forums a while ago that it was meant to be Angron. That, and the strong focal point for the picture is the character in the centre. But, like you say, its not how you really imagine him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Its not a good picture, looks like a toddler having a tantrum or dying for a poo.. but aside from that it is pretty close to John Blanch's concept sketch for Angron: http://www.fybertech.com/4thread/tg_286306...24814545227.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Zaku Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Agreed. Now, I do understand that without him we pretty much wouldn't have the hobby, but I still can't help but loathe his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the physical descriptions of Angron in the books don't match that concept art. Madness, I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NExOBLIVISCARIS Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 That is most defintly Angron cause if you the find the full artwork you can see a marine with the bunny ears and the world eaters started those guys right? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wbBXVjVA4qw/Si0E...H_ToH_Final.jpg i do agree that it is a rather bad portrail of Angron. is there a picture of him with his chain axes, cause i have always wanted to see those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely dispute the centerpiece guy standing on the Marine helmet as being Angron, when his physical description only matches that picture by virtue of both having two arms, two legs, and a head. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lay Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 and that was the first mistake, following any of blanch's artwork. This has nothing to do with John Blanche's artwork. Wayne England made an image based on the same sketch that was freaking awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalon Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 gah i hate the style of Blanche's artwork, see a lot of it for all the Primarch's, looks spindly and plain rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodunius Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Blanches finished artwork is very good, its only his concept sketches that are spindly and rubbish - unfortunately since he's the head of the art department he doesn't have anyone to tell him "FINISH IT! OR ELSE!" so most of the time he just half finishes it and calls it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykos Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 That cant be the siege at the Palace of Terra. Angron is standing on a green marine helmet. As far as I know the Salamanders were not at that battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikiju Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 That cant be the siege at the Palace of Terra. Angron is standing on a green marine helmet. As far as I know the Salamanders were not at that battle. Perhaps istvaan then? however i dont recall the mention of any buildings at the dropsite massacre. barren wasteland with lots of dead marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a large number of inaccuracies to be found in the artwork of the HH book series, an incorrectly coloured helmet would be small fry compared to some of them.

Lykos Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sure I know its insignificant to others. I think personally that it is fun picking out all the differences between the art and the Horus Heresy books which go against some of the original fluff to the game universe. It will be even funnier if they end the series with a Lord of Change telling the reader that the combined stories are one interpretation of the Horus Heresy.
