Initiation

Painted for the awesome @chimericknights I had the privilege of painting this artwork of a really cool scene. Truly honoured for the trust in such an epic paint. I hope you like it!

Some lore below:

Many of the unoccupied Battle Brothers of 6th Centuriae have gathered to witness the raising of 4 of their most superb Apprentices to the coveted rank of Khadan.

Kheshig Kormon Durhai stands before the newest brothers to join the ranks of his Centuriae. " Listen well my brothers, my angels of death. Before me kneel 4 of the bravest young warriors who seek to stand with us upon the knife edge." As each word was uttered, a loud crash came from the scores of Space Marines arrayed on the balconies and ranks. " Bold hearts who seek to batter down the foes of the Imperium's enemies!" As the cheering of the Astartes rose to a crescendo, Kormon raised the final helmet to be awarded. " Arise my new brothers and remember your oathes of blood from here ever after. For the Chimera, for the Warhawk, and FOR THE EMPEROR!
