Heretic Astartes - Blog Posts

It gives such strong Pandemonium (The "capital/Main court" of hell acording to old Christian lore) vibes!!!

Which makes total sense as it was probably what they were referencing. I've always liked WH30k/40k twisted parallels to Catholicism/Christianity, and this is a great subtle nod to it.

Astartes II

“The Radiant was beautiful. Not handsome, but beautiful. Perfection had rendered his features almost androgynous.

He turned towards them, his eyes burning like miniature suns. He leaned forward, setting his boots on the deck. He wore what had once been a suit of Crusade-pattern power armour. Shaggy white fur was wrapped about his greaves and the vambraces of his gauntlets. His chest-plate had been decorated with a grotesque mural depicting Fulgrim’s moment of apotheosis. One of his shoulder-plates had become fused and twisted into the shape of a leering feminine face. The face whispered softly as the Radiant rose to his feet.

A daemon slid past him, tittering. He took the claw it proffered and they spun in a brief, courtly dance. The daemon clicked its fangs in disappointment as he brought its claw to his lips for a kiss of polite dismissal.”

P. S. Working on all these microscopic details was hellish and took many hours, but hey, one of the most imposing Chaos Lords ever deserves no less!

Maybe this son of Fulgrim is in bliss with his daemonette lover on some warp-infested ship, like Quarzhazat, or maybe on some daemon-world in the Eye of Terror - no one can say for sure...

I wanted to capture the scaring essence of Slaanesh. At first glance, you think you're seeing something beautiful, until you take a closer look. But it's too late - your soul is already in the clutches of the Youngest God. Forevermore.

Me, re-reading novels about genocidal batshit crazy transhuman war criminals for the nth time, because it helps me take my mind off reality for at least a couple of hours:

Ah yes being extra enough to shove the tzangor out of your way just so you can point to have him then have to go around you classic thousand sons

SOS WORD BEARERS FANS HELP

Guys. This is my favorite legion, so I'm going to be very upset if I've misremembered this. Lorgar isn't white, right? I've never seen any art of him white, nor heard him described as such. But I'm currently reading a collection of 3 books about the word bearers, and it describes him and all his sons as having pale skin.

AM I LOSING MY MIND??
