Warhammer Au - Blog Posts

Part of the 501st legion's Clastartes, Alad is a high ranking clastartes and part of the required cataphractii guard for their jedi general, Anakin Skywalker. Wearing cataphractii Commando armor, Alad wields a terrifying Grevious Claw and a single hand Heavy Boltblaster. Alad is silent, deadly, and has faced various foes in service of the Republic.

Yup yup! Each Jedi general in this au have a group of cataphractii guards and this is a member of Anakin Skywalker's. Having a very small bit of Naboo-inspired decor and demeanor, these lads are just as unorthodox as their general lol.

Ah yes. I come out of stasis to yeet you... the Clastartes! (name is still a work in progress htf does one mix CLONE TROOPERS with ADEPTUS ASTARTES?) Essentially, they're my take on a 40k Star Was Crossover. Pls take this with a grain of silliness. This is all in good fun.

Any type of Astartes Armor

Dreadnoughts are voluntary services and come in all Frames

Weapons are called Bolt Blasters (Heavy Boltblaster for example)

Geneseed is derived from their Jedi Generals

Jedi’s personality and culture rubs off on the Clastartes

Clastartes make up about ⅓ of every Clone Trooper force

Clastartes are made from an early cadet

Grown Clones can’t become Clastartes due to the enhanced aging

Clastartes organs and modifications slow down aging and shut down the Inhibitor chips

Honor Guards are built for each Jedi General

Coruscant Guard are more connected to the Jedi due to the rules of the Geneseed, thus are connected to Cin Drallig

Order 66 fails solely because of the Clastartes, who stop the Jedi Massacre all over the galaxy and at the Temple. 

Palpatine is butchered by the Clastartes 501st and Coruscant Guard 

Wild Space includes planets/characters from 40k (because I said so)

The Inquisitors are a mix of what they are in 40k as well as Star Wars

Other species from other franchises could make an appearance (Halo, 40k, Predators, Xenomorphs, etc etc)

Republic does its own “Great Crusade”

Battle Droids are converted into security forces

Dreadnoughts are essentially mobile bacta-tanks

Clastartes that become force sensitive are trained by their generals

Cipher Heresy MAJOR art spam. Yall are welcome to put who to who here. BUT ANYWAYS!!! YEAH! LOTS of art lol.

The Lords of Order (Warhammer 40K Concept/AU)

Chaos. Destruction. Death. War. These all are descriptions of the Warhammer 40K universe. There is no hope for any civilization there, especially when the forces of Chaos keep growing in masses. But what if… what if there were new factions that came to help establish order across the universe? Powered by the magic of new gods? Gods of not war, chaos, death, or tyranny? But Gods of Order?

These are the Lords of Order. And these are their Hordes. Their Factions. Their Armies.

_____________________________________________________________

The Lord of Tactics: Boreus

Boreus is the Lord of Tactics, Logic, and Planning. Thus she strategizes her every move. And there is no greater tactician. She is the opposite of Khorne in almost every way except for her incredible strength and power. Let none be deceived, she is a fighter and a warrior. Her many champions wield her greatest weapon, that of a Battle Axe. Her personal faction is simply called the Tacticians. Any Space Marine who comes to serve her is filled with the knowledge of every battle ever witnessed within their universe. Thus they are deadly on the field not for sheer power, but sheer intellect. They can plot every blow, every shot, every shout within milliseconds of stepping onto the battlefield. Their weapons of choice are battle axes and long ranged bolter.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lord of Alliances: Negis

Negis is the Lord of Alliances, Community, and Protection. She cares deeply for every single living life in the universe, and thus makes every move she can to protect the innocent. But like every god, she is a powerful foe to face. Negis’s magic is unparalleled, capable of ripping entire landscapes apart with a single swish of her hand. But seemingly her greatest form of magic is the curing of those who have fallen to Chaos. No matter how lost their soul, Negis’s magic is far greater. She can’t reverse the mutations, but she gives those mutations new meaning and new power. Her personal horde is called the Order of Redemption. Every servant of Chaos she cures becomes a part of this horde. They are given a new life, a new name, and a kind new leader to follow. These soldiers mainly come in the form of Space Marines. These soldiers of her horde are very advanced for how diverse they are. Negis’s troops all have the incredible gift of Regeneration, so things like the loss of limbs and even their heads mean NOTHING to them.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lord of  Protection: Vesskix

Vesskix is the god of Protection, Defense, and Leadership. She is the most outspoken of the Lords of Order, and has a bad temper. But Vesskix is an incredible leader, capable of leading incredibly successful campaigns to defeat the forces of Chaos. To take it up a notch she is a master of siege warfare and technology. She is vastly more intelligent than her fellow Lords of Order, and is capable of devising incredibly unorthodox plans that not even the best Necron tacticians can understand. Her personal army is called the Siege Masters, and she convinces members of the Iron Hands, Iron Warriors, Imperial Fists, and Salamanders to join her legion. They are gifted with incredible technology to help them build and advance their weapons and armors. The Siege Masters have more vehicles, Dreadnaughts, and just weapons in general. 

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lord of Honor: Kel

Vel is the god of Honor, Valor, and Trust. Kel is seen as the weakest of all her fellow Lords of Order, but in truth she is the most powerful, preferring to keep quiet and only speaking when she feels like something must be done and must be done fast. Kel has no quarrel with being a bit sassy as well, willing to go off on anyone. She is the only Lord of Order who had a face to face interaction with one of the Chaos Lords, that being Khorne. A World Eater marine present to witness states that even Khorne seemed uneasy at seeing Kel. Kel’s legion is called the Honorbound. The marines here are hand picked by Kel and her chosen “Primarch.” They are the most honorable and respectful Space Marines from across all the legions. When they join her legion, they gain enhanced sense of their previous ones. Runes and Glyphs form on their armor and weapons, giving each Marine a unique playstyle compatible with their personality and skills!

This story was written by the super talented and amazing @utterimmolation

"A Chance at Redemption."

The first thing Horus noticed was the quiet.

The Warp whispered, barked, *screamed* to him constantly these days. It was harder to hear himself anymore. The Gods told him secrets and truths, but his own thoughts became quieter and heavier. He was so much more nowadays, but there was a tiny gasp buried deep within that dared to murmur that he had only diminished.

He's gotten used to pushing that doubt away. The Gods assure him of the righteousness of his path, his legacy, his drive to see the False Emperor dashed from his ostentatious chair.

But here, on one of Etheria's twelve moons, standing across from his lone sister, his head is shockingly, disconcertingly ~~mercifully ~~, *quiet*.

The siblings study each other in silence for several moments. This is one of the least developed moons of the dozen, which is no doubt why Adora had chosen it. He briefly wonders if she had rigged it to blow or perhaps intends to repay him and his Sons in kind for Istvaan but dropping nuclear armaments from orbit but dismisses the idea. Adora can be surprisingly ruthless, but she would not dare risk damage to the moons and especially not Etheria and its people.

It is a character trait that makes her predictable but dangerous, much like Vulkan: their love of mortals makes them easy to maneuver, but strikes against them must be fast, hard and final, lest they rise again with greater and overwelming fury and unfortunately, that last part has proven remarkably difficult to overcome.

"You know why I am here," he finally breaks the silence.

Adora's mouth twists. "I do," she acknowledges.

"And?"

Adora takes a half step forward, her honor guard shadowing her every twitch, like children hiding behind their mother's skirts, unwilling to let her be parted from them. He hears Abaddon scoff quietly, his First Captain disgusted at the weakness he perceives.

Horus sees what it truly is. Love, beyond reason or doubt, beyond sense. The Sons of She-Ra love her, with such intensity that to lose her risks triggering a fury to rival that of Angron himself. Of course, perhaps that is not so surprising. The Slave of Nuceria hated so much only because he had once loved so fiercely and completely that its loss had stripped him of all humanity and rendered him little more than a beast.

"You come to me with a proposition. Let me give one instead: turn away from your Rebellion. Disavow the Chaos Gods. Disavow the Emperor. Disavow the butchers and sadists and monsters you've aligned yourself with. And stay here."

Horus blinks, surprised beside himself. An appeal to him hadn't been unexpected. An opportunity to be granted asylum had. "You would welcome me to Etheria?"

"You would have to pay penance. To even *begin* to pay for the crimes you've committed, the atrocities you've done... would take millenia. But you would be free and protected from both the Warp and the Emperor. I would stand with you. You could find redemption. Could help me build a universe of connectivity, communication...love. You could find peace." The Princess of Power slowly extended her hand. "You need only ask."

The voice that has been silenced and stifled for so long under the burning Gaze of Chaos is screaming at him now, louder than it's ever been. He is abruptly aware, for the first time in weeks, how grimy and heavy his armor feels, how hungry and thirsty and tired he feels. He...he cannot remember the last time he ate. Slept.

He looks past his sister, up at the distant glow of Etheria, and remembers the peace of the world. The smiles of children. The brotherhood of Space Marines, learning, training...living. He remembers being...happy.

He looks at his sister's hand, and his soul screams at him to take it.

He swings Worldbreaker instead.

It meets her golden shield in an explosion of rainbow Warp energy, and both Primarchs are pushed back several feet. Their respective sons stumble, and many fall.

Horus looks at her and sees only sadness and pity, and he feels a hate to rival that which he feels for his very Father.

Abaddon must give the order, as the Word Bearer ships and that of Etheria's fleet begin to fire at each other. Adora has her sword now and she's coming towards him but he ~~doesn't want to fight her~~ can't waste time now, not when the Emperor's gaze searches for him and Ultramar's fleets grow closer to reinforcing Terra.

He presses the teleporter on his belt and slams back into his quarters on the *Vengeful Spirit* only to fall to his knees as the protective aura of Etheria's territory disappears and the God's Gazes return to him with renewed focus and force. They see his doubts, his fears and they sooth him even as they shred at him for his impudence.

He does not know how long he kneels in his quarters, body, mind and soul wracked by agony. He only knows his fury is incandescent when a Son arrives to inform him the World Bearer fleet has been defeated and they are in-route to Mars. He dashes the Marine and two dozen serfs against the walls before the rages abates itself even slightly, and as he makes his way ti the bridge he promises himself this:

When the Emperor lies dead at his feet, he will return, with all of his forces, and lay waste to Etheria, until its seas run red, it's sky turns black and Adora's wife is nothing more than a new carpet before his bed.

--------

Here is what I think Adora's relationships with each of her brother Primarchs is like...

Horus - so starting strong, I would think Adora would get along really well with Horus. Unfortunately, I believe that is more a testament to Horus' many masks skill. He would know adora values friends and assessing a situation from every angle of a situation while getting advice and others' opinions. I feel Horus would treat her very similar to how he treats Sanguinius or, more likely, Dorn. When it comes to the heresy, I see Horus going to her and promising her that if he wins, his Imperium will become far more tolerant to peaceful xeno races and reinstate the use of psykers, Adora won't buy it. She's heard these ultimatums before.

Sanguinius- I imagine Adora would be decently close to Sanguinius, but definitely not the closest. They are both decently kind, but I feel besides some tiffs and playful banter/jokes, they really aren't that close

Konrad- Adora despises him with all her heart. Ever since they met, adora wanted nothing more to put him down like a rabid dog. Adora fought for someone like Konrad she knew his evil, and she and her sons would not even dare crusade in the same systems as their maniac cousins and the Night haunter

Lion el Johnson- Adora would probably have a similar relationship to him as leman does. Definitely won't say anything against him but won't seek to spend unnecessary time with him.

Guilliman- Adora would like Guilliman, though she would find him boring. She can't argue with his results and definitely wouldn't mind being in the same room or fighting alongside him. Honestly, I can see Guilliman getting annoyed with Adora after a while.

Leman- I totally see them being very close! Honestly, they he might be her favourite brother, at first anyway. They have very similar demeanour, they both prefer to fight to settle an argument, and they both enjoy cracking jokes as much as cracking skulls. I also feel they would be the ones to spar the most, though not with swords. I see them taking quick jabs and headlocking each other. Though, after Prospero burned, Adora would feel truly betrayed for she loved Magnus as well. She could never look at leman the same way again. She won't turn to Horus' side, but now she keeps leman at arm's length.

Mortarion- Another she would hate. Not as much as Konrad, but still. Morty is too bitter, and his unter vitriol towards psykers goes completely against Adora's close ties to magic, and the sorcerers of Etheria would put her in uter opposition to anti-psyker rhetoric.

Magnus- Magnus would definitely be one of the brothers she sees the most. But not due to their closeness. Magnus would be most fascinated with Etheira's understandings of the warp and would most likely have long deep conversations with head sorceress Castaspella (Yes, that is her name live with it) and Queen Glimmer. Adora would side wholeheartedly with Magnus during the council of Nikea. She would rage against her Father's blatant hypocrisy. And she would try to comfort Magnus in the aftermath.

Lorgar- Adora may be put off by Lorgar's fanaticism, but she wouldn't outright hate him. Just be kinda uneasy around him. She would feel pity for what happened on Monarchia but not truly grasp it. She would be more upset at her father than she would weep for Lorgar

The Twins - I honestly think these two just don't interact much. Adora is a very straightforward and most times brash. Alpharius/Omegon just wages war and behaves so diametrically opposed to how Adora and her crew do those things. Honestly, their nature might remind Adora of Double Trouble and the manipulations of Shadow Weaver.

Corvus- Another I think they would get along fine, but I feel Corvus would deem Adora a little too optimistic. (To be fair, I don't know enough about Corvus to make a statement on this, sorry 🥺)

Dorn- utter ambivalence. She literally has no real opinion on Dorn. Besides, he is good at what he does, and his dry sarcasm goes right over her head.

Perturabo- She would start by seeing Purty as a victim of their father's plan. they wouldn't really interact much, I think. Adora is not a crafter. She's a fighter, a leader, a symbol of unity. She is quite good at making battle plans, but she isn't really a super tactical genius or anything. Eventually, she'd see perty as the spiteful man-child who she just pities.

Angron- She fears him. Maybe if they had met before the nails, it would be a different story. But I could also see an interesting dynamic instead. Adora's powers encompasses the ability to not only heal but restore. She restored life to the Fright Zone and purged Horde Primes' concensus. She brought Catra back to life. So, while I don't think she could heal Angron but I bet she could sooth his pain. Give him relief. It might then cause a very toxic codependency, but I'm okay with that. Cause tragic grimdark.

Vulkan- Another of her favourite brothers, his kindness, and humanity would truly link them. Joking with one another and enjoying life! Their love of their sons. Truly, I think they will get along with each other swimmingly.

Fulgrim- Fulgrim is too fancy for Adora. Adora is not a formal or dressy person. She doesn't really get art. She does value combat and fighting, but she was taught to fight dirty. She isn't one for fancy words. Honestly, Fulgrim's search for perfection and flowery words would remind Adora too much of Horde Prime, in my opinion. I feel a perfect example of this is the Princess Prom episode.

Ferrus Manus- eh, I think this relationship is the same as dorn. They don't really have a lot in common from how I see it.

Jagathai- I feel they would get along decently, but same as Corus, I don't know enough about the Khan to really even make an educated guess.

I'm open to any opinions or your takes! I wanna see if people agree or, at the very least, have their own perspectives!!!

Okay time to delve deeper into my madness

So here is my theory and supporting evidence/inferences

Adora/She-ra is one of the lost primarchs!

Okay so as I previously established, the portal technology deals both with time and space.

This is important for later, but for now, it means that time when Etheria is trapped in "Despondos" (The in-between reality and non reality) moves very different than realspace.

So when Hordak first slips through reality. I imagine this is during either the age of strife or at the tail end of the dark age of technology(DAOT).

Im guessing this because Horde Prime makes mention how he fought the First Ones, and their understanding of mixing magic and tech was challenging for him to combat. Which then makes sense with DAOT humans mixing Warpcraft and Tecnology.

Now I'm more inclined to believe Horde Prime with Hordak began their conquest during the age of strife because of another peice in this twisted puzzle.

Mara. The og shera and the one that trapped Etheria in Despondos.

Now Mara does this because she found out all the terraforming her and her people were doing was covertly making Etheria into a mass warp weapon/engine.

For those that don't know, Etheria is particularly conductive of magic, which the locals learned to harness in their own ways. All pulling and manipulating the same well of magic to perform different tasks and spells. Alot like how the warp is channelled and manipulated to serve the Psykers' needs.

Now, the first ones/DAOT humans realised Etheria's highly "warp sensitive" nature and realised they could utilise this. So they colonised. They integrated themselves into the world.

We see this in the "ghosts" of the one town which we're actually holograms of the first one colonisers.

But they didn't just want to study that, oh no. They do as humans often do and want to weaponise it. So, they begin crafting and terraforming the planet. They make the elemental runestones that the Princesses utilise to obtain their certain powers.

That is only the secondary function of the rune stones. The main function we find out in season four and five is that they are all focal points to channel their related magics through and supercharge the weapeapon. Now, the weapon, as it turns out, is the planet itself. The weirder of the sword of protection should've then been able to target and trigger the weapon to fire along with the ability to move it around.

To me sounds alot like a necron world engine or a large scale weaponised forge world.

Mara wasn't really having this. And I believe when Mara finds out why they built this "weapon" and crashes the ship is when the cybernetic revolt was happening. I mean look at light hope.

Light Hope is a sentient AI who fell in love with Mara and so disobeyed her programming, but at the point where we find out Mara was hiding Etheria to protect the universe we see light hope fighting against herself to help Mara.

So we have my rough timeline. "How does this all factor into Adora is a Primarch?" Great question! Now, we actually get to my biggest evidence.

So we learn that when Hordak kinda secsessfully opens a portal back to realspace a baby adora comes through causing the portal to break from the strain.

It's explicitly said and shown that Hordak himself never goes through the portal. Never reaches through or goes but returns. No. He opens the portal and Adora COMES THROUGH.

Adora was an infant, so it wasn't like a toddler wandering around and stumbling through. No, she was swaddled and everything. No parent reached through or came in and dropped her off.

Just a little swaddled baby adora just pops out of the portal and it collapses.

That's the objective cannon facts of the show. Then, as it turns out, despite perfectly replicating his experiments over and over, he couldn't reopen the portal the same way. So, one thing I would wonder besides (plot) would be how he got it to work. Then I realised he had to have help from the other side.

Enter Erda. When she scatters all 20 of the baby primarchs. She does so by casting them into the warp and letting the metaphysical winds take them where ever. So this is where I dawned my first theory hat.

What if Hordak's portal only worked because of Erda, at the same time, opening a rift and yeeting her children through. Thud Adora, the token female primarch, ends up coming through a portal to a place where she'll be safe from her father. Thus, when she enters Etheria, the warp rift aiding Hordak's portal closes due to its duty being complete.

Part 2/?

Okay, so also, one of the things that truly got me into AU crafting and Warhammer40k in general is my own wild head cannon. U wanna hear it? Of course you do. Okay, here is something I totally believe is cannon and u can prove to me otherwise.

She-ra and the Princesses of Power takes place in the WH40k Universe!!!!!

Okay, so allow me to elaborate.

So first off, I was a Shera fan BEFORE I was a warhammer fan, but after I really started to get into warhammer, something clicked.

I was painting some of my first minis when, for background noise, I decided to throw Shera on for the umpteenth time. Then I started to notice it.

Shera is a Scifi x Fantasy series, so there is already a precedent for the two to flow well together. But then u start getting into the workings of Etheria's Archeo-tech.

So let's start with who settled Etheria. We see through holographic projections/recordings along with our two confirmed First Ones in the series (Adora and Mara) that First ones were clearly human or close to humans.

Suspending a little disbelief, and it's not too far a jump to claim that the First Ones were humans from the dark age of technology. Further proof is in the show how powerful and advanced First Ones' tec is! Also, it is extremely valuable as only two to three people can work/manipulate it properly. (Two of those three are hyper intelligent geniuses)

Let's move on to one of my bigger points, the portals.

During season three, Entrapta and Hordac work to get her to retrofit Hordac's tech with First One's tech. This taps into the planetary magic and the integrated (for lack of an in universe term) warp engine. Unfortunately the portal becomes unstable and fucks with time and reality.

Eventually, after removing the "key" from the portal, the planet returns to realspace.

Oh did I forget to mention that up until that point the entire planet and it's moons we're in a nebulous in-between dimension that could only be accessed by a cataclysmic event on the inside or a freak anomaly from the outside.

This then lends credence to my main argument/ claim Adora, She-ra, Princess of Power and guardian of Etheria is a primarch!

Part 1 of ?

More Fem Lorgar(Aurelia) cause im slowly falling in love with her!

This is to go with my other post where I gave my shpeal on why Morty works so much better as a woman.

I didn't wanna add this to it/reblog it with this because that post was too long already, and the other post was more about how there should be more primarch moms.(adopted mothers of the scattered primarchs)

And this one is:

Which Primarchs work better as women/femme:

Putrabo

Konrad Curze

Mortarion

Jagathai Khan

Magnus

Leman Russ

Okay, now explanations (warning this is gonna be looonggg)

Also, this is just my opinion. Please feel free to change and argue why!!! I love in-depth literary analysis and debate!

So, fist off after that, yes, I feel a majority of the traitors would make more sense as women, specifically their storylines, seem to work well with women leads. And would offer a more nuanced reading. (Also, this would totally piss off those fucking anti-woke chuds)

- Perturabo(Petra)- I could have also made dorn fem but I like the extra dichotomy their relationship is given as a brother sister dynamic. Both are different sides of the same coin. Even more so.

She would also be underestimated and compared to her shining golden brother. Her hate is that of women just as qualified for a job getting skipped over for an equally qualified man. (Yes, I know Putrabo's made to know how to tear things down where Dorn is made to fortify. But again, it's allegorical, that extra layer)

-Konrad (Kassandra)- she'd be such a Bipolar queen. Okay, done... nah, I got a little more.

So I feel not much is different until u reach that adult phase, more so than the others. Her madness and lunacy are painted much worse, but she's still on business. She despises her father(Emps) but does as she says. She's the freaky screwed up daughter (very Jinx-like) where Sanguinia is the perfect daddy's girl, and it makes Kass sick.

Mortarion(Morticia)- please see previous post

Jagathai Kahn(Khutulun) - okay, little out of left field, and truthfully, I don't know enough about the cannon warhawk to justify saying that a fem Warhawk is "better" but I wanted at least one othe loyalist fem primarch. Also, this lets me keep the yuricest between her and Magnolia (Magnus)

Magnus (Magnolia)- speaking of the red cyclops, I think having the biggest primarch be fem is just phenomenal, also it adds a woman confidently attempting to uptain more understanding of the universe as a whole, being very scientific in her approach only to be called sorceress/witch in the persuit of knowledge. And in the end, only to be driven mad trying to get even the smallest bit of control.

(Also, as mentioned above, a huge bonus of it keeps my Khan x Magnus ship gay and better, yuri)

-Leman Russ(Freya) OK, so I feel Feya works better than her male counterpart only because it would be almost poetic. Having her raised by a mother wolf and so she takes that role over for her sons(legion).

Again, these are just my opinions, so if u disagree, that's totally fine! 😊 I love sparking discussions and seeing where other people's heads are at.

And sorry if this isn't really coherent. I'm kinda writing this sleep deprived and starving. 😅

Imma make ramen now 😆 🤣

I feel like not enough of the primarchs really have memorable mothers

Like I can only really think of, Guilliman's mom, Leman's Wolf Mom, and kinda Putrabo's sister(not a mom but still very prominent/memorable woman related to a primarch)

Like I get it, give them Daddy issues before they meet Emps, and then they get to have real daddy issues, but still.

I feel that's such a missed opportunity

Like give Angron a warrior mom who survived years in the pit because she had to be strong, but something in Angron unlocks a violent maternal instinct she thought she would never feel. It's not the usual "motherly instincts" but more like a lioness'

Or give Logar a priestess/holy mother nun, someone to foster his love for the religion, encourage his blind worship and devotion. And thinking him a gift from the gods.

Like, I'm not saying replace every dad with a mom, but I feel like an even distribution would give more narrative creativity!

That's also how I ultimately feel about making some Primarchs into Fem Primarchs. I feel they should have had, let's say, half the cannon primarchs be their fem variants. I feel that for some, it would have fit their storylines better.

Like ngl, Morty is my favourite, but hot take...

I feel his story would hit so much better if he was fem.

Cause one thing I picked up on is not a lot of 30k/40k fans like mortarion, or they just find him boring. (Im saying most people i have encountered and also pretty much every 40k youtuber I've seen), but i feel if he was Mortica, something might click.

It would hit different cause now u have a girl being used and abused by her toxic father, and then her vengeance is stolen from her by a man she doesn't even know. She is constantly trying to become more resilient, turning her resentment into bile.

It changes the meta-context and the readers perspective. Sure, 40k is so far in the future that gender and sex don't matter, but us as outside observers would then think and discuss Mortarion/Morticia's position with the very raw reality of how a majority of women/fem people are victimised irl.

And when they overcome it, they're hurt, they're changed and far less willing to be corjal with people. They have every right to be mad, to be hurt, but society sees them as jaded, as "a cold hearted bitch" and "just broken"

And it's this meta text being super imposed from real life experiences and knowledge that makes Morty more relatable.

Especially to a fem audience. She would then feel like the definition of female rage; quiet, intense, lured hate, all hidden behind a mask. Despite most knowing what she has gone through, they still feel uncomfortable being around her. Thinking she could be nicer, she should be sweeter and bounce back like she was designed to do.

But she can't. She's been tortured, her only vengeance taken from her. All by men, all by psykers. She loathes them all. She's traumatised and has built emotional walls so tight, not even Putrabo(who I also feel would be fem) could crack them.

Like we said in a previous post. Terrible day, and this idea was too cute not to draw. Wanna do more tomorrow

Konrad raised by a feral mama cat on Nostromo. That's it, that's the idea.

Last batch for now, I swear

Okay I don't have the story ready but here's what I've finished so far!!! I did the security breach ones before the Foxy marine at the bottom, there not my best work, but gods were they so fun to make/paint!!!

This all came from me watching Heresy for Hertics on YouTube. He's been taking colour schemes from his childhood (TV characters and such) and painting marines with them.

If u love out of the box colour schemes and fantastic tutorials definitely a must watch/subscribe

Okay So im almost done with painting my FNAF inspired space marines and i obviously have been making a little crossover AU in my head as I paint.

I wanna write out a real short story to accompany it, but for my story I need a chapter of Space Marines to have.

Basically it'll be about (the chosen chapter) chasing down some rouge/heretic Astartes to an abandoned space hulk/adrift ship. Once on board both groups have to face foes that wear old oddly coloured power armor. These silent things behave more like animals than regular thinking astartes. They lash out at whatever they see and are distracted by/drawn to noise. But worse of all nothing seems to slow them down.

That isn't the only problem. As the run down old ship seems to be hiding more than just these deranged marines within and it still has some form of residual power. The hallways keep shifting and bulkheads open and seal all on their own.

I'm leaning towards the Marines Malevolent Because I hate them and would happily through them in this meatgrinder of the story but i don't know.

So if you could PLEASE give me a space marine chapter (it can be your favorite or one you despise) and it will be the one i include to survive the night!

Okay, here's the first bit, I definitely want to draw more of this because it's a fantastic idea!

Alright! HoruSang time! Modern AU, either High School or University, take your pick, though I'd go with the former. Both Horus and Sanguinius are popular senior years, model students with exemplary performance. The two are practically inseparable, and it's not a secret that the two are extremely close and value each other. Both boys are put on the pedestal and represent both their family and their school, so, there's an image to uphold. While Horus has difficulty trying to live up to the expectations, Sanguinius is having difficulty with maintaining it. While Horus has pretty basic and normal "guy interests", Sanguinius is different. He loves art, poetry, singing, which while is considered "soft and feminine" are still seen as normal and appropriate for a boy. However, when Sanguinius was introduced to goth culture things... changed. On one hand, he was instantly in love with how beauty clashed with the macabre. He learned more and more until he eventually stumbled upon the phenomenon of "gothic lolita fashion". He couldn't resist it, those girls in such pretty dresses... He wanted to dress like that. Horus found out about his brother's newfound interest pretty soon, Sanguinius told him practically right away, and while he was taken aback and confused at first, he still accepted his brother and helped him. When Sanguinius finally dressed the way he wanted to, Horus went from "accepting" to "supportive". Very, very supportive. He couldn't deny just how beautiful, if not hot, Sanguinius looked like in a long frilly dress, curly pigtails and a bright happy smile on his face. Little by little, they developed the routine in which Sanguinius could freely express himself without worrying about his image. That is, he pretends to be Horus' friend who is from a different school that he met one day. Horus and this cute goth "girl" were often seen together in places the former usually visited with his brother: park, cafes, city's library, shops, pet stores. Some people began to speculate that, perhaps, something happened and the two brothers had a falling out. Other's however deduced that this goth "girl" must be Horus' girlfriend! It's obvious, is it not? The thing that finally broke the close brotherly bond... was young love! The rumors spread and while everyone questioned how such a normal guy like Horus could be interested in someone like that girl, most people figured it was the case of "opposites attract". The news have also reached the father of the boys', who, for the most part, seemed... okay with it. Occasional teasing reminders to "wrap it up" were embarrassing for Horus, but, he could tolerate it. It was for Sanguinius, after all, anything to make his brother happy. Sure, the rumors are embarrassing to them, but, they both should've seen them coming. It's not ideal, but, it's tolerable. After all, those are just rumors, they're not, like actually into each other and dating... right? Bonus: For the fem!HoruSang, because I was curious how this would work for two girls, instead of two boys. I think Sanguinia would still be the crossdresser, a true bifauxnen, and still goth. She would dress up in the Gothic boystyle/dandy fashion. She and Hathor would still be going out places, but this time, the rumors about Hathor dating a cute goth "guy" would spread much faster than in the original scenario. Why? Sanguinia can't stop acting like a shoujo love interest, being so princely and affectionate with Hathor, making the poor girl red as a beet. When Hathor asks her to control herself, Sanguinia just cocks her head and says that the way she is acting right now is in no way different than how she normally acts. What changed, Hathor? You're not in love with this prince like appearance, are you?

Judge me if you must, but I think this is a cute head canon.

Morticia(Mortarion) is super grunge, sure, but i can totally see her after an isolating and stressful day leading a gruesome atrition campaign, settling down with her colouring book, plushy and playing old holotapes of some mindless imperial propaganda cartoon(think old loony toons)

This may not be a popular way to unwind, but it's her's.

Some fresh concept sketches hot out the brain.

Here we got Hestia (fem Vulkan) as her evolved form a true Salamander. Though I didn't use any salamanders for the design. She's definitely going to be one of the more feral and beast like ones.

One fun thing I thought of, was the grimdark irony of the primarch most associated with hugs and physical touch being covered in spikes. Also, her saliva is pure magma that her rough scales carry to her mouth

I CANT BELIVE I FORGOT ATLANTIA IN MY COMPLETED POST!!! here she is the Lioness of Khorne, Queen of the Red sands! Fem Angron
