That Guardsman just earned himself a HUGE post death promotion. Like in the range of Lord General.

This guy, was the whole reason I decided to add a detachment of Guard to my Space Wolves...
Faved.
Any plans of doing a 40k parody comic like your ME one?

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING GUARDSMAN.
He's spent months fighting a grueling war in which his enemies are demigods allied with daemons, and now he's found himself in the closest thing to Hell he's ever known. He probably wasn't even supposed to get teleported up to the arch-traitor's battle barge in the first place, and just ended up in the wrong place at the worst possible time.
Somehow he's survived horrors beyond comprehension to make his way to the very bridge of Horus' flagship. He saw a veritable angel call upon Horus to answer for his crimes, and he saw that angel die as messily as any guardsman. His Emperor - who he fervently believes is a god incarnate, even if he's not supposed to - lies mortally wounded, and Horus, perhaps, has taken a moment to gloat before he strikes the killing blow.
His armor is slightly more effective than tissue paper, his weapon is slightly more powerful than a flashlight, and Horus' power claw is bigger than his entire body. He stands before a being infused by the dark gods' with incalculable power, that can and will obliterate his soul with no more effort than it would take him to swat a gnat. Nothing he can do could possibly make a difference.
He could run. He could turn his weapon on himself. He could give in to the insidious whispers that echo from the ship's corridors into his mind.
Ollanius Pius does the duty his Emperor requires of him. He dies standing and holds the fucking line.

I hate to break it to you, but it doesn't count as holding the line if the enemy can just walk over or through you without breaking pace.

You're completely missing the point, lad.

Oh no I get the point, he died honourably fulfilling his duty despite insurmountable odds without once succumbing to fear. Yet it seems rather pointless when in the end nothing was changed by his sacrifice.

Except his death finally proved to the Emperor that Horus was gone. This single Guardsman posed no threat at all to Horus, yet Horus still killed the man regardless.
His death was many things, but it was NOT pointless.

Yah, go get him! There's no way he could beat you alon- ... Oh, dear.
Also + faveing For the Emprah!

don't play 40k anymore, but this makes me want to play Imp guard so much, no one has bigger balls than them

Nice! God I hate how GW retconned this out...

They can't retcon it while we remember it.
We can't forget it while /tg/ keeps Pius' story alive.

Horus is pretty cool guy, he wearing webcam in his power armor!

I love 40K, but the whole Olanius pius thing just rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, Horus Lupercal was a GOD! Primarchs could make people shit themselves just by their presence alone. And besides, on a ship full of chaos mutations that killed many loyalist Spess Mehrens, how could one unaugmented human manage to survive the gauntlet?
And where is the Emprah?

Do you have ANY idea how many Guardsmen there are? A few of them had to make it through just by sheer overflow.

Maybe...I just thought they may have gone nuts by then.

The man stood in front of a demi god channeling all of the powers of the Chaos gods in an attempt to defend a psychopath who believed himself infallible in all things. Sane people don't do that.

An IMMORTAL pyschopath, with powers at least equal to said demi-god.

If you dont know what it is then you shouldnt be asking what it is.

Man, I can ask "what is it about", I can ask everything and comment. This is what deviantart is about am I right? So there is no need to get so uptight. Its about this picture. Background- great, soldier is pretty ok (very Epantiras style, like that) but it was hard for me to recognize that there is a Chaos Space Marine (so it is obvious that I didn't recognize Horus~~). In know what's WH40k about I have even CSM squad. Greetings.
Ps:"Blood for the blood god!"

Oh, uhmmmmm... 'bloody' with the British English meaning?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bloody is an explanitive. Like saying, "For god's sake."
Only replacing it with: "For Pete's (St. Peter) Bloody's sake!"
Hope that made some sense hey.
