Description

It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is the rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed very day, so that he may never truly die. Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds.Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only as few. But for all their multitude, they are barely enougth to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amoungst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

Mughi3, For this particular image...yes only cadians. :) As for the rest of them, we shall see what the future brings. I plan on a series of images based on the WH4k universe. Yes, I know a standard guard unit would not have a bolter rifle, but I wanted to use one for the image so took some liberty there. :) I know someone who is working on modeling a proper lazgun for the troops, so hopefully soon I will be able to incorporate proper equipment into my images. Now if only I could find someone willing to create some Inquistorial clothing and maybe some Space Marine armor for Freak....well one can wish anyway.lol
