Soul Drinker Space Marine Oldhammer

The Champion of the Soul Drinkers

This stunning illustration from Hellforged, part of Ben Counter’s Soul Drinkers series, depicts a towering Space Marine clad in the iconic purple and gold power armor of the Soul Drinkers Chapter. Created by the renowned artist Adrian Smith, the artwork captures the commanding presence and grim determination of this battle-hardened warrior. Adorned with symbols of the Chapter’s faith and purpose, including a chalice motif on his knee guard and an aquila on his chest, the Marine represents the troubled yet resolute spirit of the Soul Drinkers. His grim visage, exposed beneath his helmet, emphasizes the unyielding resolve and burden of a warrior who fights not just for survival but for the Chapter’s fractured honor.

A Grim Battlefield Against the Necrons

The backdrop of the scene is an eerie, sickly green battlefield dominated by towering Necron monoliths and searing energy beams piercing the sky. The fallen Necron constructs at the Marine’s feet, their metallic forms shattered and lifeless, highlight the brutal battle that has unfolded. The combination of the desolate, alien landscape and the radiant green glow reflects the relentless and soulless nature of the Necron threat. This artwork not only captures the tension of the conflict but also serves as a striking visual reminder of the Soul Drinkers’ eternal struggle against insurmountable odds in a grim and unforgiving universe.
