sponsra Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 how long is his right arm? My thoughts exactly. His upper arms are about the length of his thighs... Then again it would be futile to get annoyed on skewed proportions in 40k. The charm and quality if 40k is that it seem to have been made up by 11 year olds -its escapism towards boy hood, but still, that armour and that pose is just too cheesy.... Harrr, I´m a mighty warrior, and I have the biggest weapon in the D&D rulebook. Now I will clench my fists and look angry, haarrrrrr!

Capt. Taurus Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 A very poor attempt at Angron. Very, very poor. Agreed, I don't understand why they don't have the artists doing Collected Visions draw all HH covers too. The Rendition of Angron in Collected Visons is the ticket.

Jim Shady Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 A very poor attempt at Angron. Very, very poor. Here, here! His armour doesn't fit who he is and how it's been described! Plus he doesn't look angry enough.

Walter Payton Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Can someone link the images? Here you are for Angron, here for Mangus. Many thanks for the link. Oh dear. That Angron looks very silly. The World Eaters look excellent though. I see what people mean about Magnus; he looks like he has stick arms; presumably his thick proper arms are obscured by the corona of energy. I hope.

Mr. Sandbot Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I have no idea if those are his arms or not. But what someone pointed out to me was that if you look at his sides, it looks like his actual arms are there. But what bothers me then is how it just looks like Magnus has a huge torso and tiny legs.

Capt. Taurus Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I see what people mean about Magnus; he looks like he has stick arms; presumably his thick proper arms are obscured by the corona of energy. I hope. I find that illustration of Magnus excellent for one. His actual arms are not even entirely obscured by the corona of energy, you can see them quite distinctly, especially the hands. And those "stick arms" are the hallmark horns of his armour. Let us be fair to BL that particular drawing of a Primarch is really good. EDIT: My keyboard hates me.

Or the picture of him kicking. The picture of him holding the deamons head is ok other than the face though.

Darkchild130 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Just like the entire first DA heresy novel then!
