Logan230 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 And Sanguinius is spelt wrong on his cloak. For god sake, can he do anything right!?! ;) :P Evidence points to "no." Looking at the different Marine codices, I can't really grasp why the savages have better looking cover art than the artists. Even the crusaders and monks have a better cover on their slightly dated books! The cover art of the Blood Angels codex is horrible, but I can't look away now! Oi, who you calling savages? Least we don't have glitter issues. Blood for the Blood God, lads. Oh, and I love our amazing Cover art, I need a poster of it.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I always thought the SW cover art must have been spewed by a four year old.

Decoy Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I always thought the SW cover art must have been spewed by a four year old. That's a pretty talented four year old, you have to admit. The keen grasp of aesthetic design, understanding of the already-limiting physiology, clear grasp of warm and cool colors without a penchant for the tacky or over-the-top while simultaneously capturing the three-dimensional aspects of human emotion and strife... Don't worry, lil' guy! Some day, you might get a halfway-decent-looking Codex. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223041-codex-blood-angels-cover-artmakes-me-cringe/page/2/#findComment-2668233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is too embarrassing to leave the codex lying around in case somebody comes over and is like " what the :( is this stupid looking thing?" ;) Why oh why couldn't the dex cover be...this months (Feb 2011) cover. SO much better looking, sure I'd still point at the tiny little head on the guy, but other than that, an awesome cover.

Eorek Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well after seeing kickass codex covers such as Dark eldar, Spacewolves etc I must say the blood angel codex is in the wrong millenium when it comes to GW art...or well...almost Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223041-codex-blood-angels-cover-artmakes-me-cringe/page/2/#findComment-2668428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judaz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 congratulations you started up an old discussion...we decided the cover art was ugly last year... We should actually start a thread like this every week. How much is GW worth? Was thinking about buying the company, walk in, fire the guy who said that this is a good cover, hire a good artist and reprint the codex and then sell the company again. (I'd add glaive encarmine to the captain aswell) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223041-codex-blood-angels-cover-artmakes-me-cringe/page/2/#findComment-2668437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealadin Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It really is horrid... PG. 4 even in black and white would be 100x better. I mean lets be honest even a huge - AWESOME - in red letters over a black cover so people know what to expect would have been better.

Stunami Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Given what most people play BA as, I'm surprised they didn't use the art on pg. 26.

Angelus Mortifer Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 And Sanguinius is spelt wrong on his cloak. If you look closely, it actually isn't, you just have to follow the styling of the lettering... but even so, it's still not the best cover art. I actually think the SW for style was very good, even if the actual pic subject was a little bland.

G ;) Did you seriously just compare Paul Dainton's SW cover to something made by a child, instead of comparing David Gallagher's BA cover to something an ape painted with his feces?
