My great old one oc E’beel’zok and his Lil grubbies!! He’s extremely old, like, sort of came into being with all the corpses in the black plague. He represents disease vectors and living things that sprout from death. So flies, vultures, rats, etc love him and swarm around them.
He’s extremely fond of his followers, btw, so if you want to join his plague legion, just know you’ll be well tended to! He sounds like oogie boogie in my head, plus like, a super bass undertone of millions of buzzing flies…
The tag set for the Summer Fest Exchange is now open for nominations!
Nominations close on May 31 at 3:59pm GMT | 5:59pm CEST | 11:59am EDT | 8:59am PDT (countdown).
If you are new to gift exchanges on AO3, here is a guide on how to submit character/relationship nominations to the WH40K Summer Fest Exchange tag set. 👇
What is the tag set for?
Put shortly, the tag set is our shared wishlist for characters and relationships we'd like to include in this exchange.
Like most exchanges on AO3, the WH40K Summer Fest begins with a two-step setup period:
During the nomination period (May 15–May 31), anyone can submit characters and relationships to the tag set created for the exchange.
During the sign-up period (June 1–June 14), participants submit requests and offers for characters/relationships from the tag set they would like to create or receive fanfic/fanart for. At the end of the sign-up period, the exchange mods will match participants based on their requests and offers.
You can only sign up to request or offer the characters and relationships contained in the tag set, so make sure to submit your nominations before Sunday May 31, 3:59pm GMT | 5:59pm CEST | 11:59am EDT | 8:59am PDT (countdown). After this time, the tag set will close and additional nominations cannot be added.
How to nominate
You'll need an AO3 account to participate in this exchange. If you do not have an account, you can request an invitation to join the Archive here – the wait time is currently around 8 days.
Find the link to the tag set in the info box at the top of the exchange's profile page (or click here).
On the tag set page, click 'nominate' in the top right corner.
Choose 'Warhammer 40.000' for the fandom.
All nominations go in the 'Warhammer 40.000' fandom category, even if they belong to other media, e.g., the Horus Heresy series, the Rogue Trader computer game, etc. Nominations are only used for matching participants; when you upload your gift to AO3, you can use the fandom tag(s) of your choice.
Both characters and relationships go in the 'relationship' box for matching purposes.
Add characters to the tagset by writing: Character: Name and finishing with a comma.
Add pairings by writing Name/Name (for romantic or sexual pairings) or Name & Name (for platonic pairings/friendships/enemyships – any specific characters you want interacting in a non-romantic/non-sexual way). If the tag has been used on AO3 before, you can choose it from the dropdown menu, otherwise finish with a comma.
You can nominate Original Characters as characters or in relationships. HOWEVER, note that it will be the creator's choice which OC to use; e.g., if you request "Saint Celestine/Original Female Character," the creator can use an OC you suggest in your sign-up but can also use their own idea. You may nominate original characters that specify an OC's faction ("Original Ultramarine & Original Tau Fire Warrior") and/or gender ("Original Transfem Sister of Battle/Original Nonbinary Imperial Guard").
You can also nominate 'Any' characters, e.g., "Sanguinius & Any Blood Angel(s)", "Ciaphas Cain/Any Canon Female Character", to give the creator freedom to choose which character(s) to include.
You can nominate up to 20 characters or pairings.
Once you are done, click 'submit' at the bottom of the page.
You can add more characters and pairings, up to 20, by clicking 'My nominations' on the tag set page, but once your nominations have been approved by the mods they can't be deleted.
If you nominate something that has already been nominated by someone else, or if the mods change the wording/order of names to match archive conventions (e.g., "Ulfar of the Space Wolves" ➡ "Ulfar Redmane"), it may continue to appear on your 'My nominations' page as unapproved. Click 'Expand All' on the tag set page to see a full list of all nominated characters/relationships and check if your nominations are included, possibly under a slightly different name.
It may take up to 24+ hours for nominations to be approved, so please don't delete your unapproved nominations.
If you have any questions about your nominations, contact the mods at [email protected] or here on tumblr.
Remember to follow this page for updates on nomination clarifications and more.

Bio below cut
Cyrus is a voidborn telepath psyker. Due to some disfigurement from the Warp he looks a lot older than he is (real age is like 28), and deals with chronic pain (the wire augments help alleviate it). He is relatively freshly off the Black Ships, so he struggles to put on weight from fears around food. Though he’s about as fragile as glass, he’s extremely smart and psychically adept. He’s also very good with people— he had to be in order to survive. He comes across as intensely energetic and friendly (literally the in-game madman voice), though he quickly loses patience with other people’s incompetence. He spends his time expanding his knowledge, playing instruments and singing (music helps him decompress and make sense of the world). He also has the uncanny ability to imitate sounds or change his voice at will, and does so constantly— for fun and to confuse people.
Hi everyone, I'm quite new to the Warhammer universe, and this is my illustration of Guilliman. I incorporated some of my own redesigns into the character's details. I've uploaded the high-res image to my ArtStation, so feel free to head over there for a closer look. Hope you all like it, and thanks for the support!
