Rogue Trader 25th Anniversary Model commission.
It feels like the 80's were a weird time to be alive. The artwork of the grim dark future at the time seemed to be the last few dying dregs of humanity, back agains the wall, fighting against the night. There were far fewer triumphal images of Space Marines punching off heads, or Wulfen dancing with daemons. The entire setting had the sense of impending doom that punctuated the Cold War Era. This model is a product of that art. I wanted a dark, sombre mood for this piece. I wanted it to feel like the final few lingering notes of the Midnight Sonata.
The far future is a terrible place to live, and whatever happens, you will not be missed.
