I'm looking to identify the source and artist of the below artwork linked to the Games Workshop Horus Heresy series.

death Guard

The image is commonly used to represent the release of a life eater virus by Space Marine Death Guard serfs, and is specifically quoted to be:

The Death Guard Legion's Captain Ignatius Grulgor's traitorous subordinates suffer a grisly fate after being accidentally exposed to the Life-Eater Virus aboard the frigate Eisenstein during the Istvaan III Atrocity at the start of the Horus Heresy.

A reverse Google image search identifies the image in three locations:

While not returned in a Google Image search the image is also used on the Eisenstein fandom wiki page.

As far as I have been able to tell none of these sources directly identify the artist or the source of the work.

The novel Flight of the Eisenstein is a paperback and does not contain such artwork, and I am not aware of a special edition of this book.

I also feel that the artwork is actually representative of a later story in the novel series, but I cannot at this thetime remember which one it reminds me of.
