It is not uncommon for forge worlds to launch vast, interstellar crusades in order to recover some lost repository of scientific knowledge or weapons technology, should such a prize present itself.Īn Adeptus Mechanicus army in the field resembles a bizarre and grotesque religious procession. Such is the will of the Omnissiah, and his priests will stop at nothing to see that will done. The Adeptus Mechanicus prize knowledge above all things, and without a second thought they will shed oceans of blood – both the enemy’s and their own – in their endless crusade for its acquisition. As bolts thunder from the guns of their guardian spears, swords and axes, their gilded storm shields deflect shots and blades as they fight and slay the enemies of the Emperor. Equipped with the finest wargear that the Imperium can provide, your forces will be able to wade into the enemy. Fortunately, a single Custodian Guard is the equal of entire regiments of any other soldier, meaning that you’ll triumph despite being constantly outnumbered in battle.
The Adeptus Custodes never exceed ten thousand warriors at any given time. Guided by psychic divination and the intelligence gathered by shadowy agents, they strike down demagogues and warlords who might otherwise raise invasion forces against the heart of the Imperium. While they were created to defend the Throne World, the Adeptus Custodes have recognised that the most effective way to safeguard Terra is to take a proactive hand in the ongoing battle against Mankind’s innumerable foes. D-Day, 1944, and the Liberation of Leipzig, 1945, present his photographs of World War II.10,000 years ago the Custodians were created by the Emperor as his companions and sworn bodyguards. China, 1938, document his six-month stay during the Sino-Japanese War. The Falling Soldier, 1936 The Battle of Rio Segre, 1938 and Refugees from Barcelona, 1939, trace his reportage of The Spanish Civil War. With vintage prints, contact sheets, caption sheets, handwritten observations, personal letters and original magazine layouts, the stories are brought to life and give us a look at how Capa worked. Never-before-seen photographs and newly discovered documents will illuminate six of Capa's most important war stories. The title of the exhibition is drawn from the headline of a DecemPicture Post story including Capa's images from the Battle of Rio Segre. This Is War! Robert Capa at Work is a groundbreaking exhibition that reexamines Capa's innovations as a photojournalist in the 1930s and 1940s.
This was the context in which Capa worked and was known, and where he honed his skills as a master of the cinematic photo narrative. His most striking images all appeared in the pages of the leading picture magazines of the day. Robert Capa is, without a doubt, one of the leading photographers of the twentieth century.
