Description
The genesis of this illustration started when it was pointed out many of the recent images I had done were of Astartes primarily engaged in ranged combat instead of GLORIOUS MELEE COMBAAATTT.

So to rectify that I had drawn up a sketch of two loyalist marines busting through a wall, pushing another traitor astartes away in the process. It stayed as a sketch for a long period of time, until I saw the "Red Tithe" Cover done by DiegoGisbertLlorens . I really liked the use of pink and blue, so decided to apply those colours to the melee sketch I had lying around. Also the decision to make the traitor astartes a Nightlord was 100% inspired by the conflict depicted on the Cover.

The result turned out far more saturated than the piece it was inspired by, but overall I would say it was a successful image.

As with the "Find Them " image I had posted earlier, I had gone with using textured/dual-brush brushes while painting. They help add a level of noise evenly across the entire image, as opposed to blotches of it scattered around the painting during the weathering phase.

All in all, it was a fun image to paint!
