Description In the next installment of my Primarch project, I give you Perturabo, primarch of the 4th Legion, the Iron Warriors

From the wiki:
Perturabo, sometimes called the Lord of Iron (known also as The Breaker and The Hammer of Olympia) is the Primarch of the Iron Warriors Traitor Legion , one of the original twenty Space Marine Legions . Weaned on war and intrigue in the strife-ridden courts of his homeworld of Olympia , Perturabo was a grim warrior and master of technological arcana who wielded logic and the mathematics of warfare as keenly as he did a blade and Bolter . The Lord of Iron was taciturn to the point of insult, preferring to harbour his thoughts against the threat of treachery, even amongst his kin. Few would call him friend, but none could fault his ability to wage a campaign and plot the most direct course to victory regardless of the cost and despite the strain put on him and his IV Legion during the long years of the Great Crusade . His word was as unbreakable as iron. Unlike his brothers, many of whom embraced the Emperor's Great Crusade with near fanatical devotion, Perturabo thought of it simply as a task that his sworn duty to the Emperor compelled him to pursue. His conquests were innumerable, but unremarked and unthanked, as his Iron Warriors brought many worlds into the Imperium of Man , but he left behind him shattered worlds on the brink of extinction by his brutal, if effective, strategies.

As a side note: I decided to do this one as a full shading exercise. I may do this for all the further Primarchs and re-work the previous two primarchs.

This is a very good work! It looks almost exactly how I imagine him to be, grim, cold, calculating. This is such a good representation of him, and his armour takes visula cues from Horus's armour post-heresy. I hope that was deliberate, as it really brings to mind the betrayal he comes to enact. Even if that failure was because he went unappreciated over and over again for his actions. The Iron Hand heraldry at the front of his armour is a very good insertion of heraldry into the work.
The rendering and shading really add depth into him, and the terminator armour suit he is in is really well proportioned. I like thus work quite a lot. Favorited.

Why thank you very much! I did spend time researching where I wanted to go with his armor and overall look. It look a few tries to get his expression just right, but I'm glad that I got the look across!
