A tale of 5 Primarchs


Badaboom

Recommended Posts

Hello, people!

 

Well, I got commissioned to depict 5 random Primarchs. While the client has chosen one of them, the other 4, including the option of being represented before or after their corruption (if that´s the case) are up to me. I´m sure that Rogal Dorn will be in, as it´s probably my favourite Primarch so...Would you people mind help me choosing the other 3?

 

Which other 3 Primarchs would you like to see illustrated?

I think crusade era Horus would be a delight, as he doesn't have all that shinny wargear we see in betrayal, he instead has old shinny wargear. Lorgar would be an interesting one, with a large book of lorgar, either crusade or heresy would be cool. Roboutte would be interesting, as mentioned above, although due to his calculating nature, I think stood up strait, with either a holo slate, or a large book (Maybe as he's writing the codex astartes?). And last either, alpharius/omegon, alpharius with a sword, omegon with a bolter, with some epic combat synergy, omegon firing over alpharius' back as he hacks away at an enemy crusade era or curze with a pair of grande lightning claws, picking scraps of loyalist marines out from beetween his fingers, heresy era.
I second Alpharius&Omegon as one of the primarchs, but the problem with them is the little information we have on them. We know how they looked pre-heresy(noble and intelligent, only a head taller than regular non-AL astartes, heavy brow, bald, copper skinned, piercing eyes that seemed to shimmer, switching colour from arctic blue to shimmering green) but little is known from post-heresy. Though with their story much could be done with the picture, for example having one twin look left and one right to symbolize their different take on things, and perhaps having really dull "standard armours", but with omegon's armour the dark "stealth" variant he and his iffrit squad used...
Curze and the Lion are so overdone imo, Ferrus would be a good choice, think I've seen like one picture of him done before and that was cartoony, Vulkan would be my second choice because you don't see much of him either, Mortarion would be my third because I've never actually seen his face and my final choice would be Alpharius and Omegon, because I've not seen him/them either.
I would go for Primarchs that we've not seen a lot of detail of already which imo includes the lion, Sanguinius, Angron, Horus, Fulgrim, Night Haunter, Corax, basically anyone that's appeared on the front covers of books or in artwork from Tales of Heresy or ones many fans have already done, like Lion El Johnson.

First of all , what is the primarch that your client wants absolutely to see ?

 

Okay so there is Dorn and why not ...

 

Vulkan because his eyes seems cool to draw , perhaps with a sad and melancholic face , in the background , looking sadly to what have become of his lost brothers in front od Dorn the only one to defend the Imperial Truth .

 

Curze as a vision of what have been lost

And behind him perhaps Lorgar or Horus manipulating the Night Haunter

Thanks, people! I also think that some of the "forgotten" Primarchs would be a good choice. Perturado, Vulkan, Mortarion. I do love Angron, so perhaps he´ll be one of the few, and it´s difficult to ignore both Russ and Sanguinius. All of them are so cool!
