Conn Eremon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 At first I was all girly fanboy squeals over it, but now that I've looked at, that is a bright ass blue. Seriously, its like Ultramarine bright. Also, wasn't Sevatar's lion head a skull, not a brazen sculpture? It is a brighter blue than you'd expect for the VIII, but I think if it was any darker the whole picture would be very drab. This has to go on the front of a book, remember? As it stands I think it's the darkest it could have been without drowning out the whole picture, not to mention it couples splendidly with the bright red shame gauntlets to really make Sev stand out. Yeah, I mean I understand it but for some reason my initialhttp://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/127/4/0/spongebob_excited_by_allkawaii-d64i21r.jpg has mellowed out for some reason. I wouldn't say its a bad picture, its great. It just doesn't make me feel all warm and bubbly inside. I can dig the whole lion head bit, but to me the colors look deliberately brightened because of an intensely bright source of light that is right there.

Armond Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Love the look! I may have to take some of my "Chaos" backpacks and do a slight modification to make them less Chaos-like or more neutral. Ahh, beautiful Sevatar, looking beastly there, definitely creates a wonderful image.

Okay, now I'm just getting snarky, I'll try to stop Is that the same Sevatar whose Legion was just broken by the Dark Angels; whose primarch had his throat cut by the Lion in a fight that lasted three seconds; who argues with his own primarch for his father's hypocrisy and inability to hold a world as efficiently as the loyalist primarchs; whose fleet was completely scattered across half the galaxy twice in two devastating retreats/losses inflicted by the Dark Angels; whose elite First Company were all butchered and captured in a vainglorious boarding action that played right into the Dark Angels' hands; and who himself is a prisoner of the First Legion, becoming the only First Captain to suffer the humiliation of capture? And this was after a protracted two-year campaign in Thramas, where their idea of victory was to run away from the Dark Angels rather than stand and fight. Or... a different Sevatar? One who's leading a Mirror Universe Night Lords Legion that aren't sucking and dying at every twist and turn of the Heresy? I mean, I kid, but... I also don't. (And I know you weren't being a meanieface, Saph. The above isn't intended as a DAMN YOU rebuttal.)

A D-B Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 What is shame to a coward and a murderer? Character development. Or a distraction from the pursuit of full-time cowardice.

Ace Debonair Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Space King Arthur my fanny, Lion'El Johnson is clearly Space Ric Flair. This is my favourite thing I've read all year - I've laughed so much my sides are actually sore! It all makes sense with the robes and stuff now, too. EDIT: Oops, there was another whole page of chat and discussion has moved WAY onwards from that. Apologies for going off topic a bit. It's a very cool picture, in any case.

Karthak Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Something I've wondered about for a while now. How is it possible for a Space Marine to be a coward? After all, the physical ability to feel fear is removed from them. Sure, they might just avoid dangerous situations out of rational self-interest, but a while ago I read about a woman with a damaged/destroyed amygdala, who couldn't feel fear. When confronted with something dangerous she didn't avoid it, but was instead curious: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/12/fear-brain-amygdala/ http://www.livescience.com/9125-woman-fear-intrigues-scientists.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288696-sevatar-thank-you-adb/page/3/#findComment-3635867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Instead not cowardice it's just not being honourable Putting ones self ahead of the greater ideal is really what the NL do which is seen as cowardly.

Kol Saresk Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 When self-preservation is top priority amongst genetically engineered soldiers who are brainwashed and trained to act cohesively and be willing to lay down their lives if it will bring victory it appears as cowardice to those same genetically engineered soldiers.

DarKnight Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 They don't run away because they're afraid to die, their rationalization is that some situations are just unwinnable so why waste your life needlessly? Either way this is an awesome cover, wish I could see the DAs a little better, but the focus should be on the NLs anyway.

Felix Antipodes Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 A really great cover from Mr Roberts. Just makes it doubly annoying that BL stopped putting out their poster range of the HH novels, as this would look great on my wall.

Greyall Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If the Night Lords get to fight their way out of the ship...they'll do so in Ultramar, right? With their Primarch coming down the mountain to merrily draw a map on the Lion's face. And we know they get to Terra (well, not Curze, if memory serves), so...I wonder if this has something to do with Guilliman not being present at the final battle.

Greyall Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well, he was coming back to Macragge after killing a daemon, and he was both covered in eldritch blood and pretty pissed, which usually makes for fun times and extra hours at the morgue. Still, Sanguiniu's also on Macragge now, so if Guilly, Lion-O and Sanguy aren't enough to beat Curze, I'm going to start thinking they got the wrong name for the Heresy...

Actually as far as I know, nothing says whether or not Curze was at Terra. That's why everyone thought it was a retcon when Blood Reaver said Night Lords were at Terra. But they aren't like the Wolves, Dark Angels and Ultramarines who were specifically said to not be there.
