The artist, Kirill Buturlin was responsible for modeling, texturing and shading Ork Boy character for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III Announcement Trailer.
This amazing art shows an Ork from Warhammer 40,000, a hulking brute of the Ork species, known for their savagery, brute strength, and crude technology. The Ork stands on a bed of bones, emphasizing its violent nature and the aftermath of countless battles. Its muscular, green-skinned body is armored with a patchwork of metal plates, leather straps, and spikes. These are cobbled together in typical Ork fashion, prioritizing brutality and intimidation over finesse.
The Ork is adorned with spiked shoulder plates, one of which features the distinctive yellow checkerboard pattern associated with Ork clans like the Bad Moons. This pattern suggests the Ork might belong to a wealthier tribe known for accumulating the most “teef” (teeth, which serve as Ork currency). The large metal helm, battered and adorned with horns, sits roughly on its head, giving it an even more menacing look.
Hanging from its waist are skulls, trophies from fallen foes, adding to the brutal and savage aesthetic that defines Ork culture. The Ork’s oversized hands are wrapped in metal bracers with embedded spikes, and it’s armed with a brutalized weapon, likely a club or a chopper, reflecting the Orks’ preference for up-close and personal combat.
On the ground, the Blood Angels are in the midst of a desperate defense. Their iconic red armor gleams in the fire of their weapons, as they try to hold their position. A Baal Predator tank and possibly a few Dreadnoughts are supporting the Blood Angels, with heavy firepower being directed toward the Harpy. The flashes of yellow and green energy flying through the air illustrate the exchange of deadly fire between the Blood Angels’ bolters and the Harpy’s bio-weapons.
The Blood Angels are famed for their close combat prowess and noble fury, but against such a colossal Tyranid creature, they are outmatched in scale and ferocity. This scene likely represents a critical moment in the ongoing war between the defenders of humanity and the ever-hungry Tyranid swarm, where every second counts to prevent the Xenos from overwhelming the Imperium’s forces.
