Description
Β© Games WorkshopThis was a cover done about year ago for Fantasy Flight Games' Only War: Shield of Humanity www.fantasyflightgames.com/edgβ¦
As always, big shout to Zoe Robinson and Andrew at FFG for being great producers! (Also this was based off a composition sketch by Andrew!)
A Ministorum Priest and a special IG detachment, on the move. With a nice red signal flare or two for good measure. Framed against a nuclear sun. Always a nuclear sun.

Did you do the art for the priest on the page for the Ministorum Priest class in the core book? Trying to find a clean image of that guy.

One of the best art of Imperial Guards in battle. The priest leading them in front of the baneblade makes this perfect.

Where did you get that idea for the chainsword?

The chainsword is a iconic weapon in the Warhammer 40.000 universe

Huh. Warhammer 40.000. I'll check it out.

Imperial Footsoldiers - quite literally a human shield. Space Meatgrinder.

What really makes this image are the worried, semi-sad expressions of the soldiers in the front.Β

look out behind you, that bainblade's going to run you over!

The expression of the Guardsman in the bottom right corner with the visibly pitted helmet suggests that he had seen enough action that he lost the ability to give a single fuck. So much so that he's on the verge being able to repel away in single fuck he comes across.

why does a ministorum priest have the "I" symbol? anyways, as always badass prospective!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hah, at first when I saw it, I was about to say that hey, the "I" is ubiquitous throughout the Imperium, used in a wide variety of ways and contexts. The symbol of the Ecclesiarchy, for example, is an "I" with a skull surrounded by rays or ray-like sprockets.
But then I noticed that the priest doesn't just have an "I", what he has is quite clearly an INQUISITORIAL "I". Not only does he have the three stripes on it, but he even has the superimposed skull.
I also notice that the Inquisitorial "I" is on the book at the hip of the priest.
Likely a small but significant error by the artist.
Good catch.

I just faved this.Β I'm sorry; this is totally irreverent -- I don't know the game for which this was done, don't know the backstory, and consequently when I look at your superbly drawn image, what I see is probably not at all what you intended.
I see a Robopriest holding a Roman eagle with the SPQR removed and a copy of Webster's New Third International chained to it in its place.
I don't fave battle scenes as a rule but I sure had to for this one.Β Anyone who threatens the enemy with an unabridged dictionary is in dire need of a Fave.
Again, I'm sorry for the irreverence -- it's beautifully rendered, and the priest's arm motion and cry, and the motion of his robe, are captured so perfectly.Β Really top notch.
