My cover for the Horus Heresy anthology "Heralds of the Siege", released by @black_library_official in 2018.
.
I enjoyed working on this piece, the varied characters were great to paint and I really loved digging down into the epic gothic madness of Imperial architecture for the background. Plus, painting all that gold on Dorn’s armour was soooo satisfying!

++EDIT: From L->R (according to my brief): Imperial Army Officer, Malcador, Rogal Dorn and an Imperial Fists Huscarl++
