This was really tough to make, from the angle, posture, to the design of the armor, everything is difficult, but it was totally worth it!Inspired by the Leman Russ mini that Forge World produces, I decided to make a fanart out of it. Unfortunately, I don't have the miniand the design of Leman Russ seem to differ from art to art, so I have to design some of the details myself. The posture also makes it very difficult, I have to envision the bulky armor in perspective, while making sure it is a pose that is feasible for him. The axe and the sword is also incredibly frustrating, as I have to design them myself as there is no clear references.All in all, it was fun painting the wolves Feri and Geri, and also my first bearded face. I can also proudly say, this is currently the most handsome Leman Russ art available on the netAnd the tank behind? It is a Leman Russ Exterminator tank. I hope you enjoy this image of the Wolf King as much as I do.This is probably the closest depiction of the Primarch Leman Russ in the Burning of Prospero. I await his return.

"Arm the bastards and they might win a few bloody worlds for us in between verses."

- Leman Russ' high opinion on Remembrancers





“Few mortals ever gaze upon a Primarch in person, and almost none ever witnessed them in action. For a Primarch is seldom found in safe surroundings, but rather in the midst of the thickest battle, where death and carnage abounds.

Thus I must say that it is my utmost fortune that I was able to witness the peerless Leman Russ in battle, and capture that single divine moment, in my lifetime. Perhaps it was due to the lack of resistance in Prospero, or perhaps the Space Wolves don’t care about my life, I will never know, but that I was allowed to disembark and join these god of wars on foot.

But the peace didn’t last long, as soon as the battle starts everything was thrown in chaos. Even as I withhold my composure and record the scenes, they are mostly blinding flashes of spells, and a blurry mix of dust, smokes and rubbles. Then the shockwaves of one nearby explosion sent me flying for a bit, and I landed upon a soft ground, just in front of the Wolf King.

And then I understood why there was never a picture of a Primarch in battle.

Despite the gigantic stature, His movements were so fast, and precise. And He exerts a certain destructive invulnerable aura around him that makes it suffocating for mortals to approach. Every waking moment of my life have been trained for this, this is kairos, I will never have it again. I directed my device at him and snapped it by instinct as he approaches close to me to slay the Traitor legions.

And for Feri and Geri? No, they are not wolves, they are monsters, for their jaws are bigger than your whole head. Every bit of their visage will induce terror to everyone, perhaps even the marines.

Yet after I reviewed the picture in the camera, I realized it was partially spoilt by the destructive aura of the Primarch. If not for the legendary skills of the digital artist Luffie, we will not be seeing this image in its glorious form. Days and nights we worked at it relentlessly to paint and retouch the image to whole, and hopefully, we can do justice to showcase, the might, and glory, of the Wolf King.”
