Warhammer 40,000. Renegades: Lord of Excess. by Rich McCormick. Xantine, the leader of the Adored, a faction of the Chaos Space Marines, the Emperor’s Children, stands atop the steps of a golden, overwrought plinth of wings and claws, leaning on a bone sword. Xantine has olive skin and long, black hair. His eyes are fully blue, with small black pupils, and his lips are dark blue. He is wearing bright purple power armour, trimmed with gold and jagged, gothic carvings of faces in agony, and arcane symbols. There is an animal skull nailed to the left shoulder of the armour, and a long cloak hangs from his shoulders. A horned daemon with a serpentine body and glowing blue eyes twists itself around the plinth, stooping down behind Xantine’s hand, licking the air. The setting is a dark environment, draped with twisted art.
