Siege of Terra 01, Marta Dettlaff I had the pleasure to work on the set of portraits for the Siege of Terra book series. Here are some of my favorites. Copyright Games Workshop.

awww thank you!! I love sculpting, these sick illustrations in the Siege of Terra novels immediately made me want to go for it but Stone Blocks Are Expensive www.artstation.com/artwork/g2qgRQ

from SATURNINE, by Dan Abnett:

"I have it now, thought Hari. I wish I didn't. I would give anything not to have had this experience, and not to be here. There is no truth here, no story, no words. There's nothing to take from this of any worth, and all my high-minded ambitions to come along and brave the dangers in order to capture something valuable were bullshit.

There is nothing here to cherish. Nothing here to learn. War is noise, sensory overload, pain, terror, horror. That's it. It's an inarticulate obscenity. It can't be communicated, and even if it could be, it shouldn't be."

from BETRAYER by Aaron Dembski-Bowden:

"Argel Tal looked back to the preparations as he continued. 'We are the Legiones Astartes. We choose who lives and who dies in this galaxy. It is the way of things.'

'This is murder,' said Khรขrn. 'Not war. Murder.'

'Just because we are soldiers in a warzone, it is no less murder if we slaughter unarmed civilians. The context is irrelevant. But I will"

from GALAXY IN FLAMES, by Graham McNeill:

"'Look to what we leave behind us! So many memorials to our slaughters! Look to the Lupercal's Court, where we house the bloody weapons of war in bright halls and wonder at their cruel beauty as they hang waiting for their time to come again. We look at these weapons as curios, but we forget the actuality of the lives these savage instruments took.
The dead cannot speak to us, they cannot plead with us to seek peace while the remembrance of them fades and they are forgotten."

from THE FIRST HERETIC, by Aaron Dembski-Bowden:

"'Why were we born to be warriors?' Lorgar asked, apropos of nothing.

'Finally,' Magnus laughed, 'we reach the reason you summoned me to Colchis. Why are we warriors? A fine question, with a simple answer. We are warriors because that is what the Emperor, beloved by all, required in the galaxy's reclamation.'

'Of course. But this is the greatest age in mankind's history, and instead of philosophers and visionaries... it is led by warriors. There's something poisonous in that, Mag-nus. Something rotten. It is not right.'"

from THE END AND THE DEATH VOL. III, by Dan Abnett:

"Horus is silent for a moment.

'I will kill you, Loken,' he says quietly. He rolls Worldbreaker slowly in his palm. 'I will do it without hesitation if you do not cease with this provocation. I would rather you lived.'

'And I would rather live,' answers Loken. 'But I am of the Legiones Astartes, born for war. I never thought I'd live this long.'

Horus pauses, then nods ruefully.

'Nor I,' he replies. 'The warrior's lot. We were made to do so much and expect so little. Bright glory, not long lives.'

He manages a sad smile."
