𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐑: 𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑
(2014)

It was nice to get to play with more compact storytelling for this cover!

Image Description

The brief was pretty straightforward, a guardsman having fought a long, exhausting battle with no end in sight. I thought a more graphic presentation would not only make a more arresting portrait of a guardsman in trouble, but perhaps also put an interesting spin on the usual "GET SUM!" image and hopefully sell that visual narrative of isolation versus courage, a theme I seem to enjoy coming back to with regards to the IG! All this was built around having him stand in the shadow of a Chaos space marine.
