The Last Thunder Warrior

2 years ago I made this illustrations of the Thunder warrior from the Warhammer universe inspired by Dan Abnett book Horus Heresy and some YT lore video.

The last Thunder warrior

"He was dying...a trickle of blood come out from his mouth before he start quitly speaking:

How could he...? We fought for him, we died for him. Everything he have today was bought with our suffering. It was leader...our king. We trusted him. We would worshiped him if he have allowed it. Nothing he asked was too much. We would follow him to hell if he would asked. But he betrayed us.

How could he..."

They were the first gene-enhanced warriors created by the Emperor and served as the precursors to the present-day Space Marines, though they were created from adult male supporters of the Emperor rather than adolescents.

The Thunder Warriors' legions were commanded by genetically-identical Cataegis warriors of particular skill, intellect and mental stability, who each held the rank of "primarch." Each legion was particularly focused on a particular tactical or strategic specialty similar to the later, more perfected pattern seen among the Legiones Astartes.

Their purpose was to unite the homeworld of Humanity beneath the Emperor's rule during the Unification Wars on Terra in the late 29th and 30th Millenniums.
