Battle of the Mournival - finished

Description

"As Horus was corrupted by agents of Chaos, the Mournival was divided - Abaddon and Aximand followed their beloved Primarch, while Loken and Torgaddon remained loyal to the Emperor. With the deaths of the loyalists at Isstvan III the brotherhood of the Mournival was interrupted for the first significant time in its history." (Lexikanum)

For a last time the former brothers met again. Torgaddon and Loken against Aximand and Abaddon. While Torgaddon battled Aximand, Loken and Abaddon fought to death in the ruins of the former Choral City. While fighting the maniac Abaddon Loken saw in a blink of an eye how Torgaddon went down and lowering his head so Aximand could behead him. Only seconds later the ruins were broken to rubble burying the loyalists, leaving them for dead.

Much faster than I thought - and to my perfect satisfaction. Loken, the blond one, got his decent freckles (I couldn't believe it when I read it), Abaddon, the angry one, is as mad as I wanted him to be. Even Aximand, the one lifting his sword, looks sad about the thing he is going to do. Behind the broken windows de Dies Irae Titan marches. I really "danced" around the faces and especially the sparks of the clashing weapons, but all in all I'm really happy.

Hahnemühle mould made paper 220 g, Schmincke and LUKAS watercolors, a bit of titan white gouache. Sketch done in 3 days, coloring within a week. And lots of breaks between the steps.
As usual belongs everything with Warhammer to Games Workshop.

Torgaddon in the background... and Aximand's face, you can see he doesn't want to do it. Great, emotive art!
