What happens when a megalomaniacal fanatic who has fully lost his touch with humanity and has no capability to actually convince people, just scream angrily at them until they submit makes a son who is as similar to him as possible?
He gets exactly what he deserves.
I have a headcanon that Lorgar had no chance of becoming one of big E's favorite kids, because everytime emps looked at him, he would cringe at their resemblance (and probably remember all cringe™️ from his youth)
He is one of many characters that gets reduced to a joke in meme lore.
Hell, I'm not even sure if this one is entirely TTS's fault, too. He's pretty menacing there if you think about it for a nonzero amount of time.
I have reposted the girlfail-post, because it's fun and I got a laugh out of it, but my more earnest opinion is: Lucius is incredibly successful.
Some of his accomplishments without any claim to completeness:
Beating the Mournival in consecutive duels (Loken cheated by Emperor's Children-standards, so fuck him)
He's made Captain in a perfectionist Legion of Aristocrats, despite hailing from gladiatorial pits.
He made Palatine Blade - elite of the elite
He organized a coup against Fulgrim, because he wanted the demon out and survived (by staying mostly out of it, but that shows that he has a brain indeed)
He impressed Slaanesh enough to become his Champion.
He impressed Fulgrim enough the Primarch strongarmed Fabius into reviving Lucius.
He impressed Ahriman enough the Chief Librarian kept him as bodyguard/killer (and didn't betray him - a rare occurance with Ahriman).
He isn't the most social guy, yet he became leader of a rather successful warband.
He killed a Bloodthirster (with the help of his Raptors, but still!)
40k Fulgrim uses him as his personal hitman.
He had fun fighting and killing in Commorragh (he got asked to leave).
And that's just from the top of my head. Lucius is one of the most successful, ruthless Chaos Marines still in existence.
What do you take him for? Some kind of scientist?
I like to imagine Cawl making AI copies of Pre-Heresy Fulgrim and Ferrus (something along the vibe of Bile making Clonegrim and Cawl making AI Roboute) but he hides them inside a computer or something so no one can find it, and these two living AI copies are kinda just chilling in a made up world together, thinking this is reality and that they're in a time of peace post-crusade and forging weapons every day to pass the time.
Can you imagine something like San Junipero from Black Mirror? Where these two are still close and happy together, living in a fake world inside a computer/simulation (╥ᆺ╥;)
The first of my japanese-style battle-barges is pretty much done. I might do some touching-up later (and frankly the cell-shading could use some work), but the modelling is pretty much done.
Captain Sheridan, Dan Randall, ISN News. Thank goodness, someone reasonable to talk to.
I mean, the really big war mechs have come in pretty handy, so...
i read on the wiki that the tau ethereals oversee the earth caste so that they actually invent useful stuff and this was the first thing that came to mind
I thought the Custodes were supposed to have the finest equipment the Imperium could supply.
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.
Listen, if he's comfortable enough to come out of the closet, we should let him.
i hope i am

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.
Bring back all the weird nerdy fandom participants who are being productive making fanworks and kick out all the ones that spend all day farming outrage
Plot twist (or untwist): he becomes a peacock mantis shrimp.
What primarch shall be shrimpified?

… angron. so he can finally have some fucking peace. shrimps is too small for butchers nails
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
