I'm changing my mind. The WD pic looked better than the net stuff.

Of course it's Khorne. GW has a hard-on for Khorne.

Jervis may be a nice guy, but he is a tactical dunderhead. It is clear from
his tactics that he picks his force purely on how "nifty" it is and plays by
rolling dice to randomly determine what his units will do.

They need to just beak down and design the force.

Oh, goody. Tough Tyranids. Who'd'a thunk. Did I mention GW has a hard-on
for bugs, too?

Cool. At least it's something different from GW's standard recycled house art.
