Fulgrim - Blog Posts

Fuck yeah morty art!!!!!!!😃🥂😊🫶😍♥️

Fulgrim trolls Mortarion and uses Big Brother Magnus as a human shield

Thats it, thats the whole comic.

This goes out to the like two mortarion fans that asked me to draw them

A fun excuse to show off the designs, a return to form for me, im a cartoonist first and foremost,

@justeverythingnothingelse

Fuck you, *de-yassifies your fulgrim and yass-ifies your Ferrus*

Alternatively: Ferrus being a supportive friend by engaging in his bestie's hobbies, even if he isnt all that enthused, (he is secretly impressed)

Okay, I wanted to try actually doing some depraved art. Thanks to all my moots for finally pushing me over the edge.

I call it

"Fulgrim and her failed Ferra clones"

She had Fabius make her clones of Ferra, but none matched the original. But why be wasteful?

Perfectection! In every way!!!! 😍🥹😭❤️♥️💜💓💖

A commission of the softest snek demon! For @littlemissalagaddalover 💖💖💖

N’Kari! Sweet purple bun of joy! You may rub his belly for good luck >:3c

And a bonus sketch of the snek Primarch and his snek sweetheart sharing a moment :>

MY TWO FAVOURITES!!!! 💓💕💗😭BOTH LOOK ABSAPOSITULY AMAZING!!!!! RGSQJBVAJVSYIB!🥺😍♥️❤️💗💓

Omg I’m bacc

Just for fun I wanted to see what would Traitor Primarchs be like if their Chaos Gods were swapped

So…. Nurglite Fulgrim anyone? Slaaneshi Morty?

I’m also working on Tzeench Angy and Khorn Magnus

I just think it would be funny seein them fall not to the Chaos God who “fits” them, but something so contradictory to their very nature that it could actually balance all the ways in which they are damaged… or at least, that’s what they would think.

Literally all the fuckin time! The only time I'm not thinking of him is when im thinking of Mortarion!!!

do you think about fulgrim? have you thought about fulgrim? will you think about fulgrim? when will you think about fulgrim?

My gods, he would be utterly destroyed.

ESPECIALLY if it was in some way his fault. I don't doubt for a second that he'd be utterly suicidal.

I mean, even if he didn't fully go through with it, he'd be a shell. Everything he'd do would be half-hearted. If he even left his quarters, he'd be a mannequin. Ferrus would try to sit with him but wouldn't get anywhere.

At least, that's how I think he'd react pre heresy.

Fulgrim fans!

Theoretically, how would our boy react to accidentally/being tricked into killing his entire legion. Every single one of his sons. Dead. Because he was mislead.

Pre-Heresy Fulgrim, of course, but won't mind reading how would other versions of him react.

Okay I just thought of this and probably gonna draw it. But imagine if u will!

Ferrus x Fulgrim but their Radan x Miquela

Imagine if Ferrus had joined Fulgrim or... hear me out...

Fulgrim completely and finally bores recreating his childhood world stares longingly at Ferrus' severed head. It's then he gets a terribly wonderful idea 💡 He leaves with s many sons that will join him, he needs two things to be renuited with the one cherishes above all else, he needs the skill and flesh craft of Fabius Bile and the other half of Ferrus

Soon, his promised consort will be returned, and they'll finally get to spend eternity living the life Fulgrim has always wanted.

Here are my WIPs of both Necron Ferra and Daemon Fulgrim. I plan on drawing their reunion as their finished peice!

Fulgrim is loving Kassandra's new leash

So, the first post, completely new to Tumblr. Have my latest completed peice.

Here is a sea serpent Fulgrim on Mermay!

Since Fulgrim's foster father Coryn named him after the water-bringer god of Chemos, I think this image really suits him!

The theme of water, in fact, appears several times in the Emperor's Children history. According to Telemachon Lyras, an entire race of spirits once lived in the oceans of Chemos:

“Chemosian legend tells us that our world once had seas and oceans, in an age when Chemos’s sun burned bright enough to inspire a wealth of life. The Nayad were a species of water spirits charged with watching over the oceans. They sang to the beasts of the deepest waters, and their songs soothed our world’s soul. When their music finally came to an end, the oceans dried up and the sun grew darker in the dusty heavens. Chemos itself mourned the loss of their songs.”

Not to mention the fact that Fabius named his daughter Melusine - just like the mermaid/lamia-like spirit of fresh water from European folklore.

I just stumbled upon the Sexypedia, trying to find out who tf Miguel O'Hara was (turns out the Spider Man fella, but it doesn't matter).

AND HEAR ME OUT!

There is no Fulgrim! NO. FULGRIM.

I found Sanguinius, Konrad and Magnus (fair enough), but not the unbelievably hot shapeshifting snek man? Really..?

That's it, I'm calling the Dark Prince rn. Your Sexypedia is not sexy enough.

Fulgrim has impeccable taste, and no one can argue with that. Period.

Sometimes I like to re-read the moments with him and N'Kari in Slaves to Darkness bc they're so cute together. The best marriage ever 🖤

"The Phoenician: Illustration by an Unknown Remembrancer"

Slightly inspired by the Fayum mummy portraits.

Our beloved snek daddy living his best life in the Warp 💜🐍

(I just found this photo and couldn't resist, help)

Fulgrim got the pretty boys, Konrad got the femboys, and guliman got Dave from accounting

He's the best primarch for a reason.

The silly series continues.

Art by Blanckk,

I can imagine Fulgrim looking a little uncanny (to quote a forum thread not even slightly related, he should be "straddling the line between alluring and disturbing"). But he shouldn't look ugly. He should be beautiful, but with this creeping feeling underneath, that something isn't quite right.

Did you see Snek Fulgrim back? This is a masterpiece! This is why Lucius, Saul, favius etc. has beautiful arses 😄

Yeah, I've seen this and to be honest, I don't really know how to feel about it.

The sculptor, who did this model, said in an interview, he made Fulgrim's face ugly on purpose (because Chaos, yadda, yadda), despite him being described as beautiful in the novels (yes, even the demonic version. Terrifyingly beautiful - and the new miniature's mug is anything but beautiful).

So this overdimensional gluteus maximus (that isn't needed for a snake) smacks of ridiculing Fulgrim and pigeonholing him into something, because it doesn't come from a place of love by its creator.

Yeah, I know, I may be overinterpreting things here, but that's just how I feel.

If you love the model - absolutely all the power to you!

But I won't buy it. Those are my Fulgrim-minis and when my hobbyspace is up and running again, I will paint them.

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

Oh definitely. He worked 12-hour shifts in a factory growing up. He's made sure his personal spaces are places where he can just flop down anywhere. You could be in fully sealed power armor, but the minute you sit down on one of those sofas, you're going to be fast asleep and get the best rest you've gotten in years.

I headcannon Fulgrim to have an insanely comfortable room, with plush sofas and all that. Like if you make the mistake of sitting down in his quarters for even a few seconds you WILL fall asleep, that happened to several of his brothers repeatedly, they sat down on a sofa and emerged eight hours later like a cat from a weighted blanket.

ferrus especially hates it when that happens.

Fulgrim is now a creature of the Warp, meaning his mental state greatly affects his physical state.

The virus bomb left no lasting mark on the primarch, but Rylanor's own words, the "denial of (his) magnificence," very much did.

Rylanor making Fulgrim look different might actually have some substance

I know (I think) that Rylanor making Fulgrim ugly is a joke, but the entire ordeal left a scar on Fulgrim’s ego. According my knowledge, a daemon prince or primarch can change their form to anything, so Rylanor’s defiance and bruise on Fulgrim’s ego caused him to not regenerate quite right

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".

Had he not fallen, he would have been the best primarch. He was someone who cared about the common people of the Imperium, believing that each had the potential to do great things, if only they were given the chance. He conquered worlds through sheer charisma, not just military force.

It should be noted, however, that the Laer Blade wasn't the sole reason behind his fall, merely the tipping point. It latched onto his insecurities about needing to be good enough, and fed them until they consumed him. At the same time, the legion was being corrupted by similar insecurities--Bile's experimentation to integrate the Laer's stuff was done on Eidolon's orders, not Fulgrim's, and it's implied that Eidolon was actually going against Fulgrim's orders in doing so.

🥀 The Fall of Fulgrim

-I've yet to finish his books but I cannot fathom the wasted potential Fulgrim would've had if only he did not pick up that damn sword.

(art by me)

Still new in the warhammer fandom but I've been enjoying my time making primarch pieces

I mean, I'd be down for being Fulgrim. I relate to him quite a bit.

Aaand one more meme from me. Enjoy!

Fulgrim's fall wasn't from the Imperium to Chaos.

It was from "It is your duty to raise them up, as high as they will go. Anything less is not worthy of you" to "What we have won is already being given away to imperfect mortals who will waste the glories we won for them".

Every time I see someone make a joke about "I hear you do strange things to your warriors", I have to restrain myself from making a joke about Chogoris' level of technology.

I know I shouldn't, but it's really tempting.

Instead I settle for making fun of the fact that Jaghatai called Fulgrim taking care of his sons a "strange thing" for him to do.

Fulgrim in memes: haha sex addict, <homophobic stereotype>, <homophobic dogwhistle>

Fulgrim in lore: the best of the primarchs, came from nothing, became ruler of his planet through people liking him, turned his planet into the jewel of the Imperium, didn't view himself (or his sons) as 'above' the common people and in fact cared deeply for them, was married multiple times and loved each of them (and was hurt badly by the fact that they had finite lifespans), conquered a planet with seven marines, was such a capable smith that Ferrus declared the weapon he forged to be better than his own, humble enough that he said Ferrus's weapon was better, snuck up on Horus with an entire fleet and almost averted the Horus Heresy (FUCK YOU EIDOLON), beat Ferrus Manus in a fight (twice), only fell to Chaos because of his self-hatred after killing Ferrus, beat Roboute Guilliman, used Perturabo to fuel his ascension to daemonhood, strangled an Avatar of Khaine (no, this isn't dumb. Avatars of Khaine are warp entities, and strangulation is an intimate, visceral act of violence), and spent a good chunk of the past ten millennia trying to bring Ferrus back on his side.

i think i should be able to duel people who mischaracterize fulgrim and just base him on the memes

As much as I do go on about how the Emperor's Children are a bunch of femboys, there is far more to them than that.

People tend to forget (in part due to how Slaanesh has been reduced to a sex addict) that the reason they fell in the first place was their obsession with being the best of the best. All the illicit experimentation began with that goal in mind.

They (and Fulgrim) wanted to be the best, and that blinded them to how good they actually were.

I swear, if I hear *one more person* simplify fulgrim to just "yassss queen slay" I am going to break something. He's such an interesting, tragic and relatable character and I wish people didn't simplify him to "haha pretty boy".

Reblogging because my response has become too long to put in the replies:

I don't think many people view the traitor primarchs as irredeemable, and I think the number among people who are well-versed in Horus Heresy lore is even smaller. They are, from the beginning, tragic characters. They certainly have their damning characteristics (namely hypocrisy), but they aren't really presented as irredeemable--we even have explicit statements regarding redemption for two of them (Big E says Mortarion can be redeemed in Godblight, and he outright forgives Horus in The End and the Death Vol III). I don't entirely agree with your interpretations, however. I don't think any of them are irredeemable (at least, not due to their own actions), but I think they miss some key details.

For all Angron claimed to be standing against oppression, he spent over a century expanding the Emperor's (extremely oppressive) regime. There's no moral purity shit here, either--Angron is pretty open about how he hates serving the Emperor even as he reduces worlds to ash in his name. What you said about Mortarion also applies to Angron, because of the Butcher's Nails. He was denied the chance to die with his family on Nuceria, and for the remainder of his life before daemonhood, the one thing he wants to do is die. And then Lorgar takes that away from him.

Mortarion's fall is because, first and foremost, he cared about his sons. Typhus brought the legion to Nurgle's garden, and infected them with the Destroyer Plague. Mortarion fell to Nurgle because he wanted to end their pain. Mortion is also a hypocrite. Like Angron, for all his claims of hating tyranny, he still expanded a tyrant's domain for a century and a half. (Corvus Corax is also on this list, but this is about traitor primarchs, not loyalist)

Magnus' guilt is very hotly debated among the community, and both sides have a point. On the one hand, he did the best thing he could with the information he had available. On the other hand, he was incredibly cocky, and did not have a concept of restraint. He believed he was in control, and he was too confident in that belief. (Side note: I despise the troupe of super powers being a stand-in for being queer (or any minority of any kind, for that matter)).

Fulgrim never said "fuck it, I'll have fun". His fall to Slaanesh was driven by his belief that, after killing Ferrus Manus, he was irredeemable. He's an addict; he isn't trying to have fun, he's trying to forget reality.

Everybody agrees that Big E mishandled Lorgar, and that's the most favorable interpretation for him. His argument on why he isn't a god is literal abuser language ("If I was a god, I'd use my psychic powers to force you all to kneel before me, like this" before using his psychic powers to force all of the Word Bearers to kneel before him). And all this ignores the shit Kor Phaeron did to him.

Horus is the spoiled rich white boy of the primarchs. He didn't fall because he was lost because dad was doing everything for him beforehand, he fell because he saw a vision of the future where he wasn't given the credit he thought he deserved. And then, like anybody else who grew up being told the world would be at their feet, he lost it. There's other issues as well, such as taxes (Terra wanted to impose heavy tithes on newly conquered worlds, which Horus opposed because it would cause them to rebel), but "gee, maybe I'm not ready" was never an issue.

Alpharius and Omegon believed that they knew the Emperor's plans better than he did, and threw in their lot with the traitors because they thought that if the traitors won, it would mean the end for Chaos.

Perturabo is someone who chose to suffer in silence and hope things would magically change. He never complains, and then is shocked when things don't go his way. I'm fairly sure he's also the primarch that people find the most relatable.

Konrad Curze was certainly mentally ill, and he was certainly denied the help and support that he needed, but I don't think he was abused because of it. He's also the kind of person who thought that if you publicly lynched enough jaywalkers, crime would go down, and that the Emperor sending an assassin to kill him because he committed treason and genocide was vindication for his belief that any crime warrants being skinned alive as a punishment.

They may not be irredeemable, but their hands are fare from clean.

I love how much of warhammer 40k is clearly a bunch of white dudes sitting around, thinking up the worst shit imaginable and going "thank god that could never happen to me, the cishet white guy"

angron is a one for one depiction of slavery, yet is painted as the bad guy for wanting to stand against oppression

mortarion is disabled and constantly has his decisions taken away from him by able bodied people only to be seen as moody and uncooperative

magnus is gay or trans or both. literally a guy blamed for something he was born with that he cannot control and told you're bad if you explore this part of yourself. also you're illegal now

fulgrim was actively encouraged to pursue perfection, despite never being good enough for others. he pushed any personal pleasure aside for an uncaring crusade and then is demonized for saying "fuck it, I'll have fun"

lorgar. also known as "this is why you don't abuse your kids"

horus is the golden child who's sent out into the world by himself only to find out Gee, Maybe I'm Not Ready because good ol dad did everything for him then told him "figure it out lol"

alpharius omegon are the autistic kids who don't understand why pops is doing this, maybe we should do things a little different than "blood soaked crusade"

perturabo is the burnout middle kid who did everything to impress his father only to be told "that's what's expected of you" who then got mad since acting out was the only way he got attention

konrad curze has a mental disorder. and is abused because of it

all of these characters were so close to being some of the best representation for minorities we could get in media only for gw to eat shit right at the finish line because they can't commit to an actual story. and it's amazing just how little these writers understand that the things they depict are all real things that people suffer through every day, and are demonized for every single day, especially when we are told these characters are irredeemable and should be destroyed, no questions asked
