Dark Apostle Thirst Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yep, Perturabo and Fulgrim.

Grimdarkness Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The night lord termi and sorcerer from the 3.5 chaos dex or was it there IA I don,t recall. seen on this page near the bottom. I liked it because at the time every thing I was reading talked about the cost of using the warp so the emancipated look of the sorcerer spoke to me.

"Come at me bro..." http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/...er%2040,000.jpg The version of this one with the caption is one of my favorites.

Kol Saresk Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Let's see, I am torn between these four: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/image..._Raptor_Art.jpg http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/4/41/Raptors.jpg http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011...all-d4hkc3l.jpg http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011...all-d4dafkd.jpg Not sure where the first one came from. Second one is a fan-made colorization of the cover for Throne of Lies. Last two are made by our very own Greyall! There's a colored version of Cravasson somewhere, but I can't find the URL.

Hyaenidae Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well, there is one more pic I thought of... the pic from the Palace of Thorns section of the Cities of Death Codex. Insane. The look on this Astral Claws' face speaks volumes of his situation. He seems to accept his fate as his homeworld, his Chapter, and his brothers die around him; the entire Imperium brutally tearing down everything he knew and loved piece by piece; yet he looks determined to rip every last scrap of vengance from his former allies, one bolt at a time. The sheer desperation of this pic speaks to me, and has helped inspire me many, many times in the past. Karl Kopinski is my friggin' hero....

Greyall Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Whoa, Heathens, I didn't know that one, thanks...such awesomeness, Kopinski and Dainton are masters of the 'realistic' Space Marines - which means they're my heroes as well. Also, a thank you very much, Saresk and DeathKnight, for 'nominating' my work, though I honestly do not see it as worthy - not yet, at least. While not an epic battle scene or inch-by-inch-detailed lord, here's the art piece that really drove 40K into my mind. The Daemonworld art of the Word Bearers is very meaningful, too. http://a4.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images0...24a8a3b32/l.jpg More recently, Raymond Swanland showed everyone how to make Space Marines fluid. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2011...gons_Marine.png Finally, the best depiction of Khârn to date Khârn Edit: Sorry for posting the images instead of links, my very bad, Brother Tyler.

Brother Tyler Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Okay, guys, I'm getting really tired of turning hot-linked images into links. Please remember that we don't allow hot-linking images from other sites except for image-sharing sites such as ImageShack and Photobucket. This is a courtesy to those other sites, reducing server strain. If you want to post the actual images, please upload them to either an image-sharing site or your free B&C gallery. Otherwise, please just post the URL, allowing other members to follow the link to the site to see the image. =][= Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250930-the-best-40k-artwork/page/2/#findComment-3043876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico_Jack73 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 This one is my favorite from the 40K:RT rulebook. To me it sums up what it is to be a Space Marine. It's on photobucket so I guess it is okay to post the picture. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r314/Gotthammer/40k/BattleHonour.jpg Also loved the Space Hulk Deathwing expansion artwork. There was a great picture of a Deathwing Captain dueling a Chaos Terminator Captain in the White Dwarf that accompanied the release of Deathwing. Wish I could find that picture.

Urauloth Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Agree about Karl Kopinsky, he's one of the most iconic GW artists. Unless I greatly disremember, he did this: http://i.imgur.com/NgxY7.jpg Probably my favourite artist doing 40k work at the moment is Jon Sullivan. Every one of his black library cover pieces is jaw-dropping.

Urauloth Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Jutami's 40k stuff is great, especially that sorcerer. My new overall favourite piece of art is this, from the new codex: http://i.imgur.com/EiwcE.jpg?1 I don't know the artist, unfortunately, or if there's a higher resolution version anywhere. Anyone?

Inquisitor Engel Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This one made me want to do Night Lords (getting round to it a decade later...) http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/image...Terrorizing.jpg This Ultramarine one is a good one - I liked the story that went with it, too.

Tyrannicide Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I forgot about that new piece, Tarvik. It's from the new Rulebook, yes? The Emperor's presence is so inspiring and there's so much hope... yet, we all know how this ends/begins.

Here is where I got it from http://www.funnyjunk.com/channel/warhammer...nkind/sqebGfd/9 basically it just popped up whilst I was googling stuff, it looks like actual 40k artwork but then again could just be fan made. the BT one was from a wallpaper site can't remember name obviously fan made though very good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250930-the-best-40k-artwork/page/2/#findComment-3209599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
