A wallpaper of the command squad of the Ultramarines 4th Company from the Sony PSP/Nintendo DS Warhammer 40,000 tactical game Squad Command developed by Finnish developers RedLynx.

The heavily adorned armour of the central Space Marine probably indicates that he’s a Space Marine Commander - could he be the legendary captain of the 4th company Uriel Ventris?

Anyway I believe that the shoulder trim for the 4th company should be green instead of gold. Then again, who really cares when these Space Marines look so cool?

I’m still trying to identify the artist who did this amazingly detailed piece - might be Alex Boyd or Karl Kopinski but I’m might be wrong

Tried running the PSP demo for this game on some of the WIP PSP emulators PSP Player, PSPE and Potemkin but couldn’t get it working guess I have to add a PSP to my Christmas wishlist this year

The third wallpaper shows a derelict fortress wall (top) which is strangely similiar to the besieged fortress (bottom) on the cover of Horus Rising illlustrated by Neil Roberts. Pure concidence?
