The War Council of Chaos: Horus and Fulgrim’s Unholy Alliance
Called “Blades of the Traitor”.
Horus Lupercal: The Arch-Traitor
At the heart of this sinister scene stands Horus Lupercal, the once-noble Primarch turned Arch-Traitor. His imposing black and gold Terminator armor, adorned with the Eye of Horus, radiates authority and malevolence. In his grip is a massive, warp-corrupted mace, pulsing with dark energy, a symbol of his fall from grace. Horus’s expression reflects fierce determination and cold malevolence as he presides over the war council with commanding dominance. His presence embodies the tragic betrayal that ignited the galaxy-spanning conflict of the Horus Heresy.
Fulgrim: The Serpentine Prince
Beside Horus stands Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Emperor’s Children, a vision of twisted beauty and corruption. His ornate armor, shimmering in gold and purple, showcases his devotion to Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess. Fulgrim’s serpentine features and unsettling expression highlight his transformation into a figure of hedonistic madness. His presence exudes an unsettling mix of elegance and malice, making him a stark contrast to Horus’s grim authority.
The Corrupted Legions
Surrounding these fallen Primarchs are Chaos Space Marines and daemonic figures from various Traitor Legions, each bearing the grotesque marks of their allegiance to the Chaos Gods. Mutated armor, warp-infused weapons, and sinister symbols adorn their forms, showcasing the dark blessings of Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh. These figures stand as the living embodiment of Chaos’s corruption, ready to carry out their Primarchs’ unholy will.
A Nightmarish Setting
The backdrop for this gathering is a terrifying blend of gothic architecture and organic, warp-tainted elements. Banners drenched in crimson light flutter above grotesque machinery and warped structures, reflecting the nightmarish realm these traitors inhabit. The hellish glow that saturates the scene captures the unholy majesty and horrifying grandeur of Chaos, a stark reminder of the power and terror that the traitor Primarchs wield.
