Crusader - Simon from Iron Lung

The Father says our Crusade is righteous.

The Father says our War is just.

The Father says we will be martyrs and saints, and live forever in the Grove.

The Father would not lie.

The Father would never lie.

I've got some variations of this that I maybe like, and I will post them later. I think! Not sure. This took way too long for what it is. Thank you for stopping by!

One of the things I think about most as far as the world of Iron Lung is what the religion on Eden looked like. What function did the Father serve, and what did the children who followed him believe about him? Were there adults who followed him, too? So all that musing kind of led to me thinking about how churches and armies and governments typically convince people to put their own best interests and safety aside, and all for vague ideologies and beliefs that they may or may not fully understand.

The worst kind of propaganda is the propaganda you didn't notice.

Halifax, 1937,

The project was inspired by the Jarrow Crusade of 1936 and the writings of George Orwell and J.B. Priestley. Brandt sought to document the "social and working conditions" of the era, though he often staged scenes to heighten their emotional impact.

The Observer! A great Trench Crusade weirdo, I had a lot of fun using some different colors from my toolbox for this guy. Lovely sculpt too, they really went all out on the different textures here. He does feel kind of like a Necromunda model, and I say that with affection.
