Next in my run of under-represented chapters. The White Dwarf staff came up with the Astral Hounds in 2020 as a candidate for the magazine's mascot chapter, but they went with the Tome Keepers and reused some of the Hounds' background for them. Outside of the official color scheme there's almost nothing out there for the Hounds, so I pulled them off the Hit List on 40K Gallery. Went dark with this one: a lone Marine with his chainsword up, purple armor, the black hound on his shoulder, and some red eyes in the shadows behind him.

Well I think I'm going to call this one done, I think if I keep messing around with it it will just ruin it. Overall I'm happy with the lighting effect but still not right, the perspective is off and just couldn't get it right. Hope you like it. Not any specific chapter, just working on the lighting effect.
