hello! i'm gaia (25, he/she/they), been a big warhammer fan for a while now, and this is mostly just my personal blog so i can follow some of my fave artists and writers! might post some of my own mini work, might not. any tws and stuff for art or writing will be tagged, including space marine husbandry. :} i'm here for a good time not a long time babey
i WILL be oc posting. i have a lot of silly little guys that i'll post about eventually and put tags on this post probably, including my blood angels chapter, the ouroboros sanguine. cringe is dead, and i am free.
i absolutely adore mephiston. that's my evil wife. that's my 8 ft tall carrie covered in blood and killing people with his mind. that's my intergalactic threat to the chaos gods and the imperium. that's pookie.
if we've talked on here before or are mutuals, feel free to ask for my discord!! i may also post it every now and then, but i'm a LOT more active and talkative there than here.
my chapters/groups under the cut. probably not all of them at this rate
the ouroboros sanguine - blood angels successor chapter. big focus on dreadnoughts & death company. geneseed mutation makes brothers who drink non-BA blood rapidly mutate into ravenous beasts. chapter master is Lernaean Apollyon.
the shrouded veil - chimeric dark angels/thousand son geneseed chapter being slowly corrupted by nurgle. huge themes of green witchery & folk magic as well as the cycle of life death & decay.
the scalebound - yeah i'm gonna be real. this is dragon riding dark angels because more space marines should be mounted like the space wolf cavalry units. i don't have much on them yet but know that it is slowly cooking
the starcrawlers - not a chapter, but a group of heresy era sons from traitor legions thrown through the warp into modern times who banded together + the one dark angel they lowkey kidnapped. not imperium but also not chaos.
the star serpents -> the dawn wyrms - my 2nd legion interpretation. heavily aquatic focused & aquatic geneseed flaws. the first legion to be forgotten, they were exterminated by the space wolves under order of the emperor, but some escaped with their father into the warp while the few survivors were inducted into the ultramarines. have been lost and mutated for 10,000 years, but get pulled back into realspace during the indom crusade. primarch is Kētos of Galatea.
🏴☠️🧛🏻🍻I have known Undead Pirates exist in Warhammer for Less than 48 hours now and I AM so normal about them and theyr Stupid cool ships with legs and massive crabs and pirate zombies and skeletons and whatever the fuck this greacy wrinkly drunk guy has going on.
If I had a nickle for every ugly blood drinking goth coded multiple personality having crazy dramatic pathetic lil skinny rat man in Warhammer, I would have 3 nickles. But Luthor IS better because he is more Fun.
Imma Never render this fucking Thing but wouldn't that be Cool???? This Would be Very Cool 2625x3500 renderings, BUT I AM LAZY so nah
Etc etc vampires etc etc Legendary Lord insane Grand Commodore of the Dreadfleet who cares Luthor Harkon etc etc PIRATES
I tried distracting a vampire by throwing rice at him, but I only had two grains with me so it didn't work. He counted them instantly. Then he asked me what I was even doing with exactly two grains of rice, and I explained how a bowl of rice tastes better if you spread it out over an entire day. I asked him if he was gonna suck my blood but he said no, he just had a lot more questions about the rice thing.
fucking hate texting dracula i'll send him a funny meme and he'll call me to be like "i need to take a SCREAMshot on my HELL phone" like oh my god we get it youre scary
As someone who has only read Guard books so far (but has read quite a lot of Guard books), is it more important that I develop Primarch Brainrot in 30k or M42 Marine Brainrot?
hi nonnie!! this is uh a very good question lmao
i think honestly just focus on what interests you most? i personally enjoy a lot of the 40k marines (mephiston my love) and the politics / chaos of the current world, however i do like seeing the primarchs in all their glory in 30k. 30k also lays basically all of the foundations for everything seen in 40k & the primarchs are right at the core of everything essentially. i will say though, what got me interested in my now fave primarch lion el'jonson was actually a 40k book (Son of the Forest). but from there i started to go back and check the primarchs out in their prime.
🤔 part of me wants to suggest that you explore 40k marines first because they're so haunted by the existence / disappearance of their primarchs basically & for some of the chapters their view of their primarch has shaped everything about them -> see if any legion/chapter really catches your eye and then check out their primarch, look into the legion's 30k books, etc.
i don't think either is really more important save for which era you're more interested in. since you said you've read a lot of guard books, then i'd say you focus a lot on 40k, so maybe it would be nice to branch out in a familiar era and check out the astartes there before looking at primarchs in 30k! either way, it really just comes down to personal preference, but if you want a clear answer then i'd say check out 40k marines first. see what's become of them now before going back and reading about the events / primarchs that turned them into this or drove them towards it.
need That character absolutely delirious with fear. recoiling from everything. unable to parse what's happening around them, their mind stuck in fight or flight. shaking and hyperventilating. completely unconsolable even as they're wrapped in a crushing hug.
hello i am incredibly shy about this but i do this for @ossmodula (hi gisa). i have a snippet from the deathwatch mephiston au i have going on & this is a basically flashback from one of his squad members, karir of the twilight falcons, shortly before his death in the hive city their mission is happening in. karir is also the lone survivor of his chapter & he's adjusting really super well about it guys don't worry 🥲
their world was way too close to a sun & it would scorch whoever got caught in the daytime to a crisp so most people traveled by night and were a pretty nocturnal society. the place is dotted with hive cities across vast plains, and the twilight falcons would move between these hive cities by night to rotate guard. they had to arrive by a certain time before the hive cities shut down everything (gates, windows, etc) and if they didn't. well. they were left to cook in their power armour outside. they're sons of the warhawk, they should've been faster
