Description Colored up this Chaos warband breaking down the doors to a city. Due to the sheer number of characters I had to make use of strong atmospheric colors to make the image pop, as the individual characters are for the most part dressed in rags, things that don't inherently make for a good palette like the numerous colors that Space Marines come in.

I'll come back to 40k soon, once I saw this image I immediately made time to color it.

Original artist is Adrian Smith.

Spikes...

One of the most terrible form of fear since you could barely feel the pain but death is certain.
It gives you no warning you're dying.

Reminds me of artwork in Liber Chaotica- the Eternal War or something (art style was John Blanche or similar). Simply awesome.

Nah man, I only colored it. But I imagine it was excruciatingly tough for the original artist.

yea true the artist had it harder but coloring can be hard too, especially finding the perfect one to fit the scene

I think you should've gone with individual though.

I just now highlighted more individual aspects of the troops (armor, horns, etc.), but not bringing each one to the fore with brown/earth tones that seem to be so popular these days.
