They love games. All sorts. Though, it’s tough to beat Mortarion, who invented most of them.

YAAAAY cute Mortarion and Peroxuus comic!! It’s very domestic but with the ending…maybe a nsft art to follow ❤️❤️ this is in the AU where they both get to fix Barbarus!

And Mortarion is now done as well :3

This is him pre-Emps on Barbarus, all covered up and ready to throw some hands.

Now, only Lorgar remains ;)

Warhammer Death Guard Mini-comic!

check below the cut to learn just a bit about Barbaran culture! Many more lessons are in the works, so just think of this as our pilot! Enjoy 🤌

Hope you liked issue 1.1! My earlier post about Barbaran headcanons truly grew wings and took flight. I have so much more. ☣️☣️

Pierce. The Overlord is dead, long live the Overlord!

...Or should we save Necare, how do you think?..

More people than I thought appear to have found Irmaya interesting, so I feel like it's ok to drop my current ref notes for her general clothing pre-Magnus. I'm also hoping to flesh out my proper ref sheets for everyone in this au (including the primarchs!) in the next few weeks. Note that most residents of Barbarus would likely use similar layers and modify what they are wearing over the outer tunic based on profession and geography. Those who can afford to acquire them will wear two outer tunics over the innermost one. Variations of sleeve width and length are also based on geography and career needs. Simplified descriptions are embedded into the images, and full transcripts are below cut:

Lowest layer after loincloth and (optional) bandage wrap for chest: showing a soft green undertunic that stops at the thigh and has wrist-length sleeves, and a pair of brown hose and dark brown socks. Notes read: 'Bandanna for air filtration', 'undertunic (softer cotton/linen)', 'hose-braies hybrid (soft cotton/linen)', and 'socks'.

Second layer: showing Irmaya in a belted yellow tunic, with dark secondary sleeves underneath, and while trouser-legs under. Her head is covered by a light blue wrap. Her socks are now also wrapped in a lightly grey fabric, and she is wearing thin brown cotton gloves. Notes are predominantly just labels except 'lining (for comfort)', 'second sleeve (inserts, tie to opposite shoulder)', and 'trousers (singles, tie on thigh, held up by belt)'. The tunic also has two brown stalks of wheat embroidered onto the front sides.

Third layer, outermost for a day-by-day look: The same tunic, sleeves, and trouser legs, but with a dark green chaperon over the headwrap, leather apron over the tunic, and a pair of light brown leather gloves and leather boots. Notes are just identifying labels, except for 'leather boots (courting gift)' for the boots.

Fourth look, leftmost: Irmaya's 'at home for dyework' look. She is not wearing a head wrap, chaperon, second sleeves, or trouser legs. Her undertunic's sleeves are rolled up the elbow, and her boots are over her socks and her 'hose'. Her hair is instead held back by a bright blue bandana, and she is wearing a proper respirator. The notes are all identifiers except for 'bandana/ hair cover (pushes hair back)' and 'Death Guard patronage gift' about her respirator.

The second image shows other notes about her total garment inventory.

Additional garment Notes: Tunic & headscarf decorated by mother, bandanas decorated by Irmaya's old practice stitches, tunic patched from inside and outside, apron gifted from leatherwork guild as recognition (previously used father's old apron), boots (courting gift from Sendak at 17, very high quality), has a plague-esque mask of leather (shorter beak) as an in-between from rag to respirator (also a courting gift).

Change/Swapout Notes: Daily - bandages, loincloth, socks, breathing bandana. 2-4 days: Hose, undertunic, headscarf, inner gloves. Weekly: Trousers, sleeve insets (second sleeves), wraps. Rarely: Tunic, chaperon.

Additional inventory: 'plague' mask (style of beaked plague doctor), soft indoor shoes, linen apron, lather gloves, eventual 'goggles' (glasses), bandolier of pouches (dye, thread, knife)

“I was told that I must enter this sacred place bound. But I walk free. Let this night remind you that I am Rome, and where I walk is Rome. I claim this grove in the name of Mighty Romulus, the divine chosen one, who slayed Remus, his unworthy twin. I suckle at the teat of the Mother Wolf. I kill all who stand in my way.  I claim this place in honor of Serapis, who’s healing power courses through my veins and protects me.”
