Oc and forgeworld info under the cut:
I have a forgeworld concept in the works! It's called Sanctum Novis, it's a Xenaraite stronghold out on the fringes of the Imperium, color scheme of ashy purple, white, black, copper, and yellow.
Sanctum Novis itself is an ore-rich rocky moon of a gas giant with a thin atmosphere and a saltwater ocean trapped under a thick layer of ice.
My figures that I've painted with the Mars/traditional admech color scheme are part of the supervisory cohort that was sent out there to make sure that they were, yknow. Loyal.
My OCs are:
Pertho Ýr 0-1-7, a Sicarian Ruststalker Princeps. They/it/he pronouns (#pertho)
Othala-Hægl 1-12, Skitarii Marshall of Sanctum Novis. Allowed certain privileges like refusal, sass, and emotions due to her rank, the unstable environment of Sanctum Novis, and the heretek nature of the Forgeworld. She/her pronouns. (#othala)
Magos Caprella of Mars, Tech-priest Dominus in charge of the supervisory cohort. Hates his job. He/him pronouns. (#caprella)
Forgemaster Verthandi-1, Forgemaster of Sanctum Novis. She wired herself into the forge and good luck getting her out. She/her but in the way a ship is she/her. (#verthandi)
Surtr-3, Magos Electro-Priest, runs the Muspelheim power plant (#surtr-3)
Part of the reason the Blood Angels have always been my favorite Space Marine chapter is their whole schtick is OUR INCREDIBLY POWERFUL ANGER IS A CURSE THAT WE TRY TO DEAL WITH CONSTRUCTIVELY
Like, literally any other “angry close combat” chapter or Legion or whatever is all about “WE THINK ABOUT NOTHING BUT CLOSE COMBAT AND DO LOTS OF PUNCHY STUFF ALL THE TIME” while the Blood Angels are like “I TOOK UP SCULPTING” and “I EXPRESS MYSELF THROUGH INTRICATE TAPESTRY” and “I AM ALWAYS ANGRY ALL THE TIME SO I PAINT SOME HAPPY FUCKING TREES”
It is really funny because like I do think despite the horrors and the grimdarkness of it all necrons are in a pretty decent position to improve their lot, especially psychologically. It's less a "they're irrevocably locked out of doing this" situation and more a "they're having trouble adjusting to what it means to be a necron rather than a necrontyr, what art, beauty, love, etc means to them now and how their bodies respond to that' situation imo.
However this is 40k, so the chances of them doing this is extremely bad.
A discussion with @mazarinedrake lead us to agree that Pre-heresy, Fulgrim was That Bitch that showed up 15 minute late to Primarch Meetings with a Starbucks, but also the guy with enough decency to also have everyone else’s order too. Ergo, Pre-Heresy Primarch Starbucks Orders:
Lion El’Johnson: Orders a Black Coffee then puts like 10 sugars and 20 creamers in it once he gets his hands on it.
Fulgrim: Sugarfree Coconut Milk Iced Coffee, but DID bring everyone else’s order too so ppl don’t judge him that much.
Perturabo: Tall Americano
Jakharti Khan: Trenta with as many shots of Espresso he can convince the Baristsa to put in, and a 5-hour energy for “creamer”.
Leman Russ: Complains that starbucks doesn’t have Beer, gets hot chocolate even though he’s both allergic to chocolate and lactose intolerant.
Rogal Dorn: One Black Coffe ™
Konrad Curze: Triple Expresso, poured into his can of monster and drunk in front of Dad, God and everyone else.
Sanguinus: Decaf Unicorn Frap with Organic cane sugar and almond milk
Ferrus Magnus: Complains that what starbucks makes isn’t TECHNICALLY a macchiato, but orders it anyway
Angorn: Never specified an order but the time Fulgrim gave him peppermint hot chocolate with marshmallows and sprinkes was the first time he did not use the hot beverage to assault someone SO-
Roubotte Guiliman: Would have a Pumpkin Spice IV drip if possible.
Mortarion: Extra high fructose corn syrup, six shots, creamer-instead-of-milk Unicorn Frap. Do NOT mix his and Sanguinus’ drinks up.
Magnus The Red: Order starts as a caramel macchiato but has so many substitutions and persnickety instructions that when it’s done it’s not.
Horus Lupercal: Keeps trying to order a “Double Double” and doesn’t understand why Starbucks and Tim Horton’s don’t have the same menu.
Lorgar Aurelian: Bottled water becuase Coffee is IMPURE (nvmd the morality of bottled water)
Vulkan: Matcha Frap, but he keeps smuggling Hotsauce in his armor and pours it in. Everyone politely pretends not to notice.
Corvus Corax: Lone Tea Drinker in the group. Has the Barista write “Black coffee” On the outside though.
Alpharius and Omegon: Their order is delivered to the local starbucks in a dead drop and changed thrice weekly. The barista is supposed to only open the envelope when Fulgrim or another Recognized Representative places an order for “Lord Alpharius”
BUT what nobody’s realized is the barista all got sick of that shit after like, a week and has been making stuff at random.
Each thinks they’re being trolled by the other twin and refuse to be the first to crack.
I can imagine Angron having this mental breakdown over this fucking peppermint hot chocolate because “it’s so FUCKING CUTE I CAN’T FUCKING STAND IT I HAVE TO THROW THIS WITCH DRINK MAGNUS IS FUCKING TALKING AGAIN AND HE NEEDS TO SHUT UP BUT FUCK THE SPRINKLES WILL GET EVERYWHERE AKMSDNNEKDKDNWJFHTJSKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-” and all the local psychers wince because hot damn that’s a breakdown. The room breaths a sigh of relief when he murders the straw out of the wrapper and starts taking little furious sips from it rather than throwing it at Magnus because he’s been spending the last 5 minutes yammering on about how the baristas forgot to reduce the caramel by half and used almond milk instead of oat and “yes of course I can tell the difference, RUSS, and I can assure you that this is very important.”
And because I wrote this post about 20 minutes after getting into the lore, and I have since revised my Opinion:
Horus Lupercal: Tried to drink Emp’s drink ONCE, nearly died, and forever felt inadequate about having sugar shock that bad, and kept adding cream and flavor to his drinks until he couldn’t stand it anymore, snapped, and started drinking nothing but Orange Juice.
Bonus:
Malcador: Was hyperfocused on a project and didn’t actually hear Fulgrim when he asked for his drink order and attempted to order a “Thin Crust With Feta, Pineapple and Anchovies.” Fulgrim brings him a Pink Drink, which he consumes without tasting it.
I would like to state for the record i’ve ignored this post the last 50 times i’ve seen it bc i thought it would be some hyper cutsie anime girl voice and i’m overjoyed to report it is instead Weapons Grade Miku complete with war horns that fuck
I WAS going to leave The comics Black and White but I Would Never The chance to render some beef
And HERE is each phase of This Crazy aaaaa digital rendering. Forbid myself from using eraser or AirBrush on This One, Because I wanted to Keep The Caligraphy brush texture and make It a more digital look rather than the usual smooth style I was doing before.
Never be afraid, Young Skaven, of trying New things, brushes, styles, Never hesitate in changing whatever u feel like changing.
These are 2625x35000 digital drawings and comics done on Ibispaint, using a bunch of official and personal references and... Come on, we ALL Just here for pretty Men and Women and art. As Always, gatekeeping IS Tau-like. Go ahead and do The thang.
At long last I built Keelhaul! Its got a few finishing touches and base decor left to go before priming and painting, and then it can join the ranks of House Rándýr to fight alongside Lighthouse and the Walfänger.
