The entire thing is a reference to the last stand of the Crimson Fists, literally the 1st art from Rouge Trader (the 1st edition). An art who has been reference to the rift and back by so many WH40K artists. The guy holding the banner at top surrounded by Space Marines at all side shooting. HECK! there was one of Calgar himself doing the same with the fist up, Ultramarines, and even Cadians on the image (I have that as my wallpaper).
