Kharn is arabic for betrayer. Therefore, Kharn the Betrayer is Warhammer's very own Moon Moon. Yes, this is the hill I will die on. Come fight me on it. Main is @alternativeforensicscientist

What happened to the man I knew who wished for no more war? The boy who drew such wonderful things?

[abjectdespondency]

You tell him you can take his pain away, for only pain awaits if he persists with this. You can spare him that pain as he never spared you yours. You can tell that he thinks you know nothing of pain. On the contrary, father. I have been the surrogate of your pain. I was born to channel it, just like all my brothers. We were made to bear your pain for you, and suffer it on your behalf. One by one we have all discovered this. Some, like Ferrus, understood it too late. Some, like Konrad, are broken by it, or are driven into madness to escape it, like Lorgar or Fulgrim. Some it has compressed to the dullest metal, like Perturabo or Rogal. Some flee from it, like Russ or Jaghatai, hoping they can outrun it. Some, like Magnus and Roboute, strive in vain to please you so that you might take the pain away. Some, like poor naive Sanguinius, think they can spare you by accepting it completely.

Brothers of Darkness

By Davide Pizi

[deadgenerations]

if, for some godforsaken reason you were an outsider interested in Warhammer 40k and books but don't know quite where to start - I highly recommend reading the eisenhorn and ravenor trilogies. They're basically Warhammer spy thrillers, and while certainly not perfect they require very little foreknowledge to understand and they are decent pulp with a few standout moments. the triumph in Eisenhorn 2 always sticks with me, as does Carnivora in Ravenor 1. The author, Dan Abnett, is a prolific Warhammer writer and is in fact the originator of a lot of Warhammer fluff and especially terminology.

🐍🍇🍬Cotton Candy Snake offers You illegal/controlled substances, After demanding that you clim— Okay that's enough.

Kids, don't do drugs™ and don't touch strange snakes.

Daemon Primarchs in general are horrible to draw, because they ARE Very complex and detailed, so no Fancy rendering for This reptilian with massive dreams for Humanity and secret low selfsteem perfection seaking pretty boy, Just pretty pastel colors and depression.

... Huh. I think I wrote The First panel wrong—

This is a Fulgrim apreciation post, with moastly around 2625x35000 digital drawings done 100% on Ibispaint. I have painted quite a few of The Snek over these months, here are My favorites, more or less in " What The fuck is happening??? " Order, but This guy manages to be recognizable EVEN when Im at my most lazy style, Go figure.

very quick sketch

[owltxt]

Knowing Tarik Torgaddon the "Bear Joke" probably went something like, "Have you heard of the Bear joke?" And you'd respond with, "No? What is it?" Then Tarik will say "Well I don't know if you'd be able to Bear hearing it."

And then you'll want to chase him down and kick him but he's too fast and will outrun or simply Bear the pain while laughing ohmygodi'mgonnagethim

[ddeserteagle]

The Thing That Will Forever Bug Me: we were deprived of knowing the real canonical bear joke.

Your take is great though. I too headcanon it as either an incredibly dirty or awfully bad dad joke. Tarik was the Master of Bad Dad Jokes, no one is allowed to say otherwise!

This image is older than some people talking about 40k on tumblr. I think this happened in 3e which was over 20 years ago.

This is from a European tournament in 2009 and the strategy was dubbed the "Kroot Conga Line"

[drbigsadbabymd-blog]

I like how often Curze is used as the Ultimate Fucked Up Worst Primarch by the other Primarchs, like "well as bad as everything is, at least I'm not Curze"

But then at some point, most Traitor Primarchs have a "I hate my idiot sons, I hate my bastard father, I hate baseline humans, I don't understand why it's bad to bleed an entire planet to speedrun a compliance, I--oh my fucking god, I'm Curze" epiphany

You get the sense they need him to be so blatantly damaged because Curze being a filth caked goblin having shrieking fits on the floor allows them to go "Well at least I'm not that! When I genocide, it's for normal reasons, not weird ones". He's the squeaky wheel of the family.

EDIT: Curze is the epitome of "You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole"

[drbigsadbabymd-blog]

Exactly, Curze has these frequent confrontations with Loyalist Primarchs where they harangue him for being a monster and he tries to explain they're all monsters, they're all science abominations who've been weaponized by a fascist madman to brutally subjugate the galaxy, they're deluded if they think they're better than him.

But because he's just Too Much about it and doesn't cloak this bullshit in a veneer of nobility, the Loyalists can marginalize him and set themselves apart. But he's really not doing himself any favors by trying to explain this shit while trapping them in a torture labyrinth.

Angron has a very similar moment with Russ

And because Angron is so broken, nobody's listening to his incredibly salient points.

Honestly I'd be a depressed weirdo with suicidal ideation too if I knew I was right and was constantly dismissed as a rabid animal
