I finally formatted my hdd after almost two years of having the laptop. I decided to change my background and have a few more icons on the desktop, new programs that I have been using almost everyday for the past month.

Grace Park for the win!

I found this and half a dozen other similar pieces quite by accident. They're suprisingly well-made, for fan works.

I felt like I needed a change of wallpaper lately. And Ein, you have far too many icons. :P

Mine is currently this, which I made from the pic Bounty posted:

どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...
-Aku, Master of Masters, Deliverer of Darkness, Shogun of Sorrow

Given the tragic paucity of Battlefleet Gothic images or artwork, well... everywhere, this is the best I could find. BFG has essentially no art to its name, alas. Such a shame, truly, because it's my favorite aspect of the WH:40k franchise...

Ah the Kumari. Did you stretch the image, or do you have a copy that is full XGA size?

There's a large render at the Guardian of Forever (bottom of the page, under CGI). I enlarged the canvas and filled it with the background colour.

ETA: here's the full-size version.

Ah Ok. I have ones that are that size (slightly larger actually - I must have downloaded them from the same source as the GoF site).
