This striking artwork by Aaron Oborn brings to life a bold interpretation of the 11th Legion, one of the missing legions of Warhammer 40,000 lore. The towering Astartes strides forward, his silver and gold-adorned armor glowing with sinister energy, marked by the ominous Eye of Chaos at its center. The intricate details of his wargear, from the spiked halo crowning his helm to the skull-adorned chains draped around his waist, reflect a fallen nobility, as if hinting at the legion’s mysterious and tragic fate. His stance exudes authority and menace, while the glowing plasma pistol in his hand is a testament to his lethal precision.
