These AI-painted Primarchs are pretty wild and let you see what the sons of the Emperor would look like if they were in an 80s Warhammer movie!
Sometimes messing around with random technology, like painting things with AI, can be really fun. Obviously, these focus more on making the primarchs look like they could be villains and heroes in an 80’s Warhammer or Horus Heresy movie, but it doesn’t end there.
Not only are these Primarchs awesome, but you can make some of the same art styles for yourself, too! Just keep reading to find out how.
Someone Painted the Warhammer Primarchs With AI, and It’s WILD
These come from the Chaos Space Marines Facebook group.
They all look pretty amazing, but the real question is, can you put a name on all the faces?
Here is what the original poster said about the process and how you can actually make your own AI art of the Warhammer Primarchs.
Who knew that there was a 40k film in the 80s?
Created using Midjourney, sorry for the excitement.
It’s all thanks to Version four and a guy on Reddit starting the film stuff off.
We’ll go a little deeper about how to make your own, but it’s pretty simple.
The AI did a crazy good job, and each Primarch is pretty recognizable and just awesome.
If they made a movie in this style, how could you not watch it? It could even blow up huge, as the Warhammer lore (especially about the Horus Heresy) is just so interesting.
How You Can Make Your Own AI Art of the Warhammer Primarchs

Let’s dive a little deeper into how you can make your own according to the original poster. To start, go to Midjourney, and when you get asked for a prompt, use: – DVD screengrab from a James Cameron fantasy sci-fi film 1988 –ar 3:2 –v 4.
If you want to get more than one picture, just add an S to the end of the word, screengrab.
Remember, you only get your first 25 images for free on the site, so if you go too crazy, you’ll run out of images and have to pay. However, online, you can find a ton of other prompts and make your primarch images look like whatever time period or style you want.
