This is a Epic Nemesis Cover. This is a Front cover image for a fan-made supplement for Epic: Armageddon.

This amazing front cover image showcases a force of Chaos Space Marines in the midst of a dramatic battle, set against the backdrop of a massive, imposing fortress or citadel. The Chaos Space Marines, clad in dark, twisted power armor, stand at the forefront of the scene, preparing for an epic assault. Their armor is adorned with arcane symbols and Chaos insignias, reflecting their allegiance to the dark gods of the Warp. The armor also bears intricate, evil-looking embellishments—horns, spikes, and eye motifs that suggest their devotion to Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways, or another Chaos deity.

In the foreground, a Chaos Sorcerer or Psyker commands attention. This figure, likely a leader of the force, is resplendent in elaborate armor that is both ornate and terrifying. He holds aloft a staff or relic, crackling with blue, ethereal energy, a clear manifestation of the Warp’s power. This could represent a powerful spell being cast, such as a psychic barrage or a protective ward over his forces. His other hand is outstretched, directing his warriors forward into battle with a gesture of dominance and control.

Behind him, Chaos Space Marines rally, their bolters and heavy weapons raised. Above the battlefield, Dreadnought-like war machines descend from the sky, providing a heavy, mechanized presence to the Chaos forces. The towering citadel in the background, built into a mountain, suggests that this battle is taking place at the doorstep of a stronghold of immense strategic or symbolic value—perhaps a loyalist bastion under siege.

The distant planets and fiery meteors in the sky heighten the cosmic scale of the scene, emphasizing the grand, apocalyptic stakes. The sense of doom and destruction radiates from the image, underscoring the relentless advance of the Chaos Space Marines, determined to bring ruin and corruption to all who stand in their way. This is a vivid portrayal of Chaos forces unleashing their wrath on the battlefield, embodying the brutal, unyielding nature of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
