Raibaru Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey guys, I'm just curious if anyone knows if John Blanche ever did Lion El'Johnson portrait? While his art tends to be love/hate, his work has always been a big fan of mind and I absolutely love his version of Sanguinius. I couldn't find most of the primarch in my collected visions book and was curious if maybe they showed up (Lion specifically) in another book or if he simply never did them.

Grimdarkness Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 He might have I recall seeing artwork that looked like the lion. You could check out this book.

Lachdannan Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The collected visions would have been my only guess. Might be he didn't do it, or it hasn't been published as of yet.

TheReverend Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey there. Check out the Collected Visions. Every Primarch is in there. If not in teh main book then right at the back there are images from teh sabertooth card game and he'll be in there Alpharius is in there and doesn't really look like he is currently described so I wouldn't say they were all cannon images. Russ and Magnus are the closest to the current form I think.

MadDoc Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The Lion isn't in the card lists in the back, nor is Corax. If they are please provide a page number and grid reference for us, as I've scanned those pages carefully looking for all the Primarchs and in all that looking I've found neither the Lion nor Corax.

Greyall Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Actually, I think there is a depiction of the Lion in the card, but not as a character. It's an influence (or something like that) card called Redemption. Here it is. http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/image...emption-Lion_El The helm, livery - as well as the need to have a symbolic character influencing a legionnaire - hints at this being the Lion, but there's another clue. There's a "symmetrical" card called Betrayal which features that same marine with this fellow looming over: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2011...at_Betrayer.jpg This can't just be some run-off-the-mill fallen captain, so that makes Luther a likely candidate to be this chap. Which, in turn, suggests the other is the Lion, the good half of the Dark Angels.

Which, in turn, suggests the other is the Lion, the good half of the Dark Angels. Considering it's all about the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, I can't see how it could be anyone other than the Lion, what with the winged helm, wing icons on the pauldron, and the fact that he towers over that Marine. If it's him, it's a great depiction of him. But it's dark blue with a sea green trim.

Greyall Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Aye, the colours are awful. I think it's meant to be black, much like Venom sometimes shows with blue "edges", but...double-meh.
