Iron Sentinels of the Wastes: The Magna Guards of Magna
MAGNA GUARDS: ENFORCERS OF THE WALKING CITIES
This artwork presents the formidable Magna Guards, drawn in gritty, richly-textured detail that immediately evokes the grimdark aesthetic of Warhammer. Towering and ominous, these soldiers wear thick, oil-slick brown greatcoats and heavy reinforced boots, their faces hidden behind menacing full-face helmets and rebreather gorgets. Tubes and cables coil across their chests like veins of industry, while their microwave rifles hum with latent threat. Originally formed to protect the walking cities from nomadic raiders in the chemical wastes, their purpose has darkened with time. As societal collapse creeps in and rebellion stirs within, the Magna Guards have become tools of oppression, enforcing the harsh will of the cities’ totalitarian rulers. Their equipment—ungainly but effective—filters the planet’s poisoned air and grants them visual advantage even in pitch-dark or toxic conditions, making them ideal for missions beyond the city walls or rooting out dissent within.
