All My Art Makes Me Look Lazy (Grimdark WIP) (Patreon)

Hello!

At long last, Khorne is ready to debut!  It took me awhile to decide his appearance, but I generally stuck by the silhouette from his only official artwork and the rule that he should appear as a towering daemonic warrior infused with raw Chaos matter.  I also wanted to make sure he looked really, really angry because most of the images I've seen of him are not.  Don't get me wrong, they're all excellent pieces of art, top notch quality as befitting the Blood God.  But I've always felt he looked too...nonchalant like someone couch surfing and undergoing a midlife crisis at the same time.  Then again, with Abaddon 'leading' the Black Crusades, I'd probably feel despondent too.

But I think the god of rage should be furious all the time.  Raw aggression should be bleeding out of every pore, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.  And besides, Khorne has a lot to be angry about.  Like Grey Knights plot armour, or the fact that most of his minions need to share a solitary brain cell.  How about the fact that he sent the cream of his forces to solo Terra only to have them crushed by some golden bananas and a giant blueberry.  Yeah, I bet Khorne was apoplectic after that embarrassment.  The other three are probably still mocking him for that and Tzeentch probably broke out the dunce hat.

Still working on the wings and I'll show them once Khorne is posed to sit on his Skull Throne but I did get a chance make his weapon.  Most of his champions and Bloodthirsters use Greataxes but Khorne actually wields a two-handed greatsword.  This fell weapon has been called by various names by different races, including Woebringer, Warmaker, and the End of All Things. It is said that this legendary blade capable of laying waste to the substance of worlds with a single blow. When Khorne takes up its sword, a single sweep can cut through reality itself, allowing his daemonic legions to spill forth into the Materium.  Oh yeah!

Got some more poses for the Lion.  There were a lot of requests for him clutching his sword and holding his helmet so I made that.  I also included a pose from the lore I thought was cool.  After every duel or conquest the Lion will raise his sword to his face and dedicate his victory to the Emperor ("One world.  For you, father.").  He doesn't do this for show either, this is a private ritual to honour the Emperor.  What a guy! 👍

Still got some other stuff lined up like the Lion's diorama and other goodies.  The Fantasy Month poll will be posted soon so look out for that.  Thanks!
