Codex: Blood Angels - Cover Art...makes me cringe

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.

I disagree with off topic and smart-alec **mental shrug**

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. <_<

Well seeing our codex is better I could really care less about the arts.

 

G :HQ:

 

Bring it to the Wolf forum and we'll talk freely about that particular faulty logic. Doing so anywhere but the Fang would probably get the topic (or someone) blammed. :P

I remember seeing it on the WD cover before the codex came out and all i could think was " pleasegodnopleasegodnopleasegodno...........dangit"

Me too, I hate it. 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.

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)

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?
