Black Library: Garro – Legion of One
My cover for James Swallow’s Horus Heresy audiobook “Garro: Legion of One”, released by @black_library_official in 2011. (Although my signature shows I finished the piece in 2010. 2010!??!!!) The brief for this piece asked for “a single figure, wrapped in shadow, wearing battered armour (Luna Wolves)” – we wanted to keep his full identity a mystery. My main source of inspiration was the ‘Collected Visions’ (2007) artbook. Before that, I was using the separate uncollected “Horus Heresy: Visions…” books, which came out around the time we started the series.
THE STORY
Nathaniel Garro, loyalist Death Guard, and hero of the Eisenstein, has found a new calling in his service to the Emperor. Surrounded by a cloak of secrecy, Garro travels the galaxy in pursuit of his new goal. His quest will lead him to heart of the most destructive warzones, and reveal a secret that will change the course of the Horus Heresy itself…
