And here is the first full page spread and it's quite an epic one. In fact, it took a lot of inspiration from the Epic game at the time. There's the classic Phantom Titan in the background, a few Eldar Tempests, a bunch of Falcons but taking center stage is that Viper. And originally it wasn't going to be there, but as I was working on this page White Dwarf #207 arrived in my mailbox and I was gobsmacked by this model. I still think it holds up very well, which is saying something considering that this model was produced in the old fashioned analog way ( i.e. no computer generation!) by Jes Goodwin. Anyway, it had to go into this story so I had it crashing but the defiant gunner was still shredding Marines with monofilament disks.
There is a lot going on in this scene. I think I may have been inspired by Sergio Argones' work on Groo, particularly the epic battles he would draw. I tried to make it so you could see that there's a lot of smaller conflicts within the scope of the larger battle.
