Warrior Coven
The Black Library collection. Reproduced here with kind permission. The subject matter was mostly Warhammer 40,000 (40K), a few for Blood Bowl and even one for the Black Flame (2000AD’s Strontium Dog) which was their other imprint. My favourite artwork out of all of them is the one I had most freedom create; the Greater Daemon of Tzeentch from ‘Warhammer Fantasy’ (which for some reason all women who have viewed it seem to assume it is Dragon? Perhaps a similar vibe to Blake’s Red Dragon?). Looking back through my covers is like looking back in time, from my early painting style to the latest computer-generated imagery (which I wanted to use for a comic – but that’s another story!).
THE STORY
Captain Octavius and his Deathwatch kill-team return to action in a most unexpected way, as they find themselves in a dangerous alliance… with aliens! The eldar of Craftworld Ulthwe are under attack by the sinster dark eldar, and it falls to Octavius’s warriors to fight alongside the lesser evil of the craftworlders to defeat the dark eldar. But can they trust their allies… or themselves?
