Description

This is Captain Lexandro d'Arquebus, of the Imperial Fists.

Lexandro, or just 'Lex' for short appears in the 'Inquisition War Trilogy,' by Ian Watson. Lex was introduced like any good space marine should be; violently killing. Here's the exact script from the book.

"The rogue inquisitor Jaq Draco and his useless sidekick Grimm, assassin Meh'Lindi, and navigator Petrov are sitting there being useless, and there were some Eldar, and this other guy. Then suddenly RAARK POP SWOOSH CRUNCH! All these space marines come out of nowhere, and start stomping colon like it's going out of style. The Eldar were so scared, they would have soiled themselves - had they lived long enough.

Then Lex comes out with two bolt guns, and starts mowing down Eldar babies, and punching their grieving mothers in the face. He didn't care, he was a space marine; they're not paid to care. After all the butts had been thoroughly kicked, Lex lit up a cigar, and said a witty, generic one-liner..."


Yes, his actual mission was to kill Eldar children, or something. That part's not a joke.

I want to do another picture of Lex without the helmet at some stage, as many of his most prominent characteristics are present on his face, i.e., the cheek tattoo, nose-ring, six service studs.


In the background, that's Brother Webern. More on him later.
