Theemeraldwings - Demigod Femboy Vampire Supersoldiers With Jet Packs

Do I draw battleship Bismarck as a hot anime girl because Germans traditionally use feminine pronouns for their ships and I don't care what Nazis say?

Or do I draw Bismarck as a hot anime boy so I can draw toxic yaoi between him and French battleship Richelieu?

If I ever write a book, it's going to be half mad social ranting and half epic anime battles.

I thought the Custodes were supposed to have the finest equipment the Imperium could supply.

warhammer fact of the day:

did you know? the Sabbat-pattern helmet used by the Sisters Militant of the Adepta Sororitas was designed with a liftable visor so that they can kiss and make out with each other while wearing it (they may have to tilt their heads a little).

this is true and canon. verified information.

would you put a discarded fruit sticker on my forehead in whimsical jest yes or no

Yeah, so, it turns out things that are incredibly emotionally charged, such as war and mating rituals, generate a lot of art.

Actually, how are you aliens making art when you are so detached from things like that?

"Wait, humans have culture? Oh, sorry, no, I was just taken aback a bit. I don't mean to insult your species, you just all seem so constantly preoccupied with your warfare and mating rituals that it hadn't occurred to me that you would have time for the arts."

"Oh, no, we have plenty of art. Visual arts, sculpture, music, storytelling... And their combinations in all sorts of way. I actually play an instrument myself, and one of my favourite songs is based on an old folk tale. Would you like to hear it?"

"Absolutely! I was already astonished to only hear that human art exists at all, not to imagine that I could witness it!"

"Alright. So this is a song about a man who starts a war against his brother because they both want the same woman."

Fulgrim was a factory worker growing up. He participated in strikes and labor protests.

What primarch, or hell Astartes or just legion as a whole, has been flanderized by the fandom/who do you have funny facts about that shatters popular perception? I'll go first.

Leman Russ is only pretending to be stupid and has written multiple books in lore (saw someone say more than Magnus but can't find source)

Rogal Dorn putting his hand on Konrad Curzes shoulder after trying to talk him out of killing some people who resisted the crusade (and Konrad being uncomfortable with Dorns "fake friendship".)

‘No,’ said Dorn, placing a golden gauntlet on his shoulder guard. ‘We are liberators, not destroyers, brother. We bring the light of illumination, not death. We must govern with benevolence if these people are ever to recognise our authority in this galaxy.’ Curze flinched at the touch, resenting the easy friendship Dorn pretended. Bilious anger bubbled invisibly beneath his skin, but if Dorn was aware of it, he gave no sign.

Lorgar (upon having his prayer session with the boys interrupted or whatever) told a custodian "I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire". Lorgar also witnessed some ritual in which a naked woman is turned into a demon. So Lorgar has canocially seen a woman naked.

Corvus Corax disliked poetry

Maybe I'm just projecting, but the Emperor's Children really read as people who were told, all their lives, that they were the best, and yet everywhere they looked they saw evidence that they weren't. Sure, they had the Aquilla, but the Ultramarines conquered worlds far more quickly, and the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus became the legion of the Warmaster, and the Dark Angels were allowed special weapons, and the Thousand Sons had psychic powers that allowed them to be as effective as a far more numerous force, and so on.

But, everyone says they're the best, so they try, as hard as they can, to prove themselves worthy of it, not realizing that they don't have to.

Then there's the Laer campaign. They declare that they'll do it in a month, and it takes far longer. During the battle, they see the Laers, and how each one is "perfectly" engineered to serve their role. The Laers are, at least in some ways, better than them. And so they try to mimic them. Fulgrim picks up the sword, and it tells him "I can make you the best".

They never break and say "fuck it, I'll have fun--if they did, they wouldn't have fallen.

They just went deeper and deeper. "Just a bit more," Slaanesh told them, "and you'll be perfect".

Killing Ferrus literally drives him to suicide and is the tipping point that makes him fall.

Whenever he's sober, he is haunted by shame for what he did.

i am punished by love

He looks like he's about to start calling people "mogrels".

So this is a little design exercise I did with my brother that I found fun and would love to hear warhammer fans thoughts:

GW decides every armies getting 2 new kits next year.

They say they aren't updating any, all of these kits are going to be entirely new per army, not models we've ever seen before (so you can't say necron pariah or an updated nightbringer, we've seen those)

What would you want them to add? To your or other armies.
