The Talon of Horus – Cover
Well, because you asked so nicely (and as a reward for 5,000 Likes on Facebook), here’s the cover for The Talon of Horus.
Don’t say I never give you anything.

Who? Why?
My name’s Aaron W Dembski-Bowden.
Don’t ask about the W – let’s just forget it exists and forgive my parents for a bizarre choice of middle name. Y’know, I used to tell people it stood for Wolfgang, but no one ever believed me. I’m not a skilled liar.
I write a lot, and people pay me to do it. I argue a lot, but I do that for free. If you want to start paying me to argue, please apply within. My rates would be generous, and my cynical wrath without peer.
I have a cat, but I prefer dogs. Most of my clothes are black, but my favourite colour is orange. I was born in a really dark, grim patch of London, but I moved to the greenest parts of Northern Ireland. This last factoid arises from being in love with a beautiful Irish girl who foolishly agreed to marry me – and that it’s easier to write out here in the middle of nowhere with only fields, cats, and hot redheads for company.

And yet still better than the Blood Angels codex cover 😉
LOLOL
You could have done better than that! 😀
No one could do better than that. You’re drunk. That’s art, right there.
Funny. Abaddon is very accomplished.
This is the best cover ever and if its not yet complete my only suggestion would be to give him angry eyes.
You got me my favorite thing! Disappointment!
*weepy eyed* It…its beautiful *sniff*
made more beautiful by the fact that he looks so damned happy!
^_^ That style is soooo under rated!
Abaddon is a ginger? You’re learning something new every day…
As far as I know Abaddon’s top knot has always been red (at least on the Mini’s).
I think that is hairesy.
I like it.
Your style is reminiscent of 1890’s post-impressionism.
Alexander has a bright future ahead of him in cover art!!
Horus Heresy explained for kids.
-I’m the new boss!
-Nope, that still me /zash !
The end.
This can’t be a factual representation of the Warmamster since his arms are intact and properly attached to his torso.
Meant to say “Despoiler”, not WM. Two days without sleep is not good kids.
He is the Warmaster though, ain’t he. The Legion bestows that rank on him when he unites them.
Neil Roberts must be shitting himself…
It needs some shadow on the eyes.
Definite improvement from the Betrayer cover :p
That right there is how the Forge World mini should look when it’s made…
Kinda my feeling:
this fits failbaddon nicely. PAINT OVER GIMP
That is the best damn power-armoured stick figure I’ve seen in my life. Glorious. You should write a children’s book about Abaddon and co, and fill it with these glorious drawings.
Do I smell a 40k/my little pony cross over?
there’s enough of that blasphemy out there already. kill and burn it with fire.
Man but your kid can art….
They’ve gotta include this in the Collector’s Edition.
A-Bad-Drawn… Get it? Anyone?… No?
*crickets*.
I try…
John Blanche has had quite a change in style. I did not see this coming. Can’t wait for the next white dwarf showcasing this new technique!
THIS is where you’ll find your cover image…or not….
Why does he have arms? 😦 other than that perfect!
This is a huge fluff spolier. I’m just keen to find out why Abbadon needed to explode Mr Messy.

You best cover yet!
