He's The Best Primarch For A Reason.

Scythes of the Emperor fight for Democracy?

Astartes II

Maybe I'm just projecting, but the Emperor's Children really read as people who were told, all their lives, that they were the best, and yet everywhere they looked they saw evidence that they weren't. Sure, they had the Aquilla, but the Ultramarines conquered worlds far more quickly, and the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus became the legion of the Warmaster, and the Dark Angels were allowed special weapons, and the Thousand Sons had psychic powers that allowed them to be as effective as a far more numerous force, and so on.

But, everyone says they're the best, so they try, as hard as they can, to prove themselves worthy of it, not realizing that they don't have to.

Then there's the Laer campaign. They declare that they'll do it in a month, and it takes far longer. During the battle, they see the Laers, and how each one is "perfectly" engineered to serve their role. The Laers are, at least in some ways, better than them. And so they try to mimic them. Fulgrim picks up the sword, and it tells him "I can make you the best".

They never break and say "fuck it, I'll have fun--if they did, they wouldn't have fallen.

They just went deeper and deeper. "Just a bit more," Slaanesh told them, "and you'll be perfect".

Nathaniel Garro/Saul Tarvitz forever.

There are many Lucius/Saul ships out there (which I also like), but my ship sails under the Nathaniel /Saul flag ♥️

Those two deserved so much more for their courage during the Horus Heresy. F#ck Erebus and his Chaos bs 😡

This is only a warm up to get me back into drawing naked male bodies, so pls don't judge it too harshly lol good criticism and feedback is always welcome though.

After this, it's back to the usual program: primarchs' portraits, with Ferrus Manus coming up next🐼

This definitely feels like there's a ship involved.

Good ending AU, he's assigned a Silence sister to watch over him instead of being killed.

Hey Warhammer Queers, just a heads up there's an account going through posts and telling queers to kill themselves, calling people slurs, making hateful jokes and comments, etc, so i'd watch out for that, report, or just go ahead and block @/eran69 (no dash, obvs). I reported but we all know tumblr staff already wants us to die so don't know if it will do anything, maybe just post extra gay shit today for people.

The Emerald Wings Space Marine Chapter

Starting a lore dump on my homebrew chapter (Yes, the blog is named after them)

Founded in the Eighth Founding, the Emerald Wings were one of a few chapters created at the time to carry on the legacy of Sanguinius.

Since their founding, they have earned a reputation for a mastery of aerial warfare, making heavy use of aircraft, skimmers, and jump packs. Aircraft and jump packs in particular are central to the Emerald Wings' doctrines, to the point where they are the biggest points of divergence between the chapter and the Codex Astartes.

Note: if there is anything here that is mistranslated, please let me know.

I actually like Fulgrim's fall, as a story (or at least the parts I've read). I think the people saying that picking up the sword takes away any agency from him are wrong and need to read the books. I think as he is written he is one of the better choices for a daemon primarch of Slaanesh. I just don't think he benefited that much from falling, if at all.

‘if only fulgrim didn’t pick up the sword he could have’ could have what. could have what. stayed under the oversight of a distant father figure? kept pressuring himself and his sons to be perfect and flawless all the time? been disposed of when he’d served his purpose? i hate you
