An obvious play on a famous image, with a 40k twist.

okay i really need to branch out from space marines, i am posting nothing but space marines...
Showing some love for Imperial titan and space marine enthusiast. I really like the appeal of giant robots with churches on top of it. It is just wild. That is why I really like Warhammer.

I decided to try my hand at doing a planet. Turned out okay! Not 100% happy with how all of the surface detail looks but overall I'm pretty satisfied still.
"In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now."
Mars, fourth from Sol. Birthplace of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the secretive priesthood that regulates the distribution and use of technology in Imperial space.
The Red Planet was the first of forge worlds, established by the nascent machine cult to safeguard technology and knowledge through the long millenia of the Age of Strife. Ever since Mars has been the strategic and economical center of the tech-priests' operations, supplying innumerable weapons, vehicles and equipment to the ravenous war machine that is the Imperium of Man.
The planet is ringed by great shipyards that labour endlessly to maintain and reinforce the Imperium's fleets and, in towering hive-factories that rise up as iron mountains through the lethally polluted atmosphere, billions of menials, enginseers and technomancers do their holy work to research, assemble and repurpose ancient tech-lore for use in this new, darker age.

bonus servitor sketch:
time for something a little old-school - there's something so wonderfully imperfect about these older style illustrations
I always preferred figurative subjects rather than vehicles but after painting the first box cover I did this follow up.
My intention was to crop the image ,even parts of the tank itself really closely on a box cover and I left a huge amount of bleed surrounding the vehicle to enable it to be used in other formats. This was cheerfully ignored for the most part.
Gouache on board

transcript
a red chaos-infested landcrawler rolls over corpse-ridden ground, firing various guns and missiles. it is surrounded by various silhouetted chaos marines, one horned bolter-wielding marine in the forground. the air is filled with smoke
「神の在不在はさておき、これだけでも大したものですね」
「俺の村では祈りの場そのものも信仰対象だった。神様の姿を知る人間は限られていたし、実際信仰に足る代物だった」
「確かにあれは神の御業といった感じでしたね」
「だからみんな死んだ」
which, google translated, comes out as:
“Aside from the existence or absence of God, this alone is a big deal.”
"In my village, the place of prayer itself was an object of worship. There were only a limited number of people who knew the appearance of God, so it was actually something worthy of belief."
“It certainly felt like the work of God.”
"That's why everyone died."

now i can't say with absolute authority that this is his; as he seems to have deleted all of his warhammer artwork (presumably as a response to games workshop being awful). but it matches his style, and 40k gallery claim that it's his and they tend to be correct

hi lichtmetzger
i'm sorry to do this under a post, but i can only assume you haven't got my messages as you haven't told me to go away
would !apocalypticart like to join the f.n.i.c.? i like this lemmysphere and also i feel like it's a good fit
i still find it weird that's it's called infinity. i know it's not illegal, but why not just call it "eternity for lemmy"or something?
i don't hate webp. i think png is better, but i think webp is fine
but i really don't want google to have more control over how i browse the internet.^[especially given how they've recently shown that they will abuse their monopoly] let's maybe use an image format that isn't owned by them, perhaps
fyi - if you share a link with no language signifier; amo resolves to the user's browser language
