The Warmaster
Horus Lupercal. Primarch of the Luna Wolves, First son of the Emperor, and Warmaster of his great crusade.
I fell down a big Warhammer 40,000 lore rabbit hole a couple months ago and kind of re-discovered my love for the world from when I was a kid. I had the idea of doing some Rembrandt-style portraits of the Primarchs. Maybe something that would have been commissioned by the imperium for each primarch to hang in a palace somewhere at the height of the crusade once all the sons of the emperor had been accounted for, but before the heresy. I don’t know if or how many of the other Primarchs I might do, but I had a blast painting this one and would love to do at least a few more.
