[toffee32]

so I finished Ferrus' Primarch book and I totally wasn't expect all those cute Ferrus and Fulgrim interactions in the last chapter. I drew a lot while I was reading it and I'm eager to share some more sketches I did of some other characters I grew fond of but I had to urgently draw them again. Help me

The Emperor and his Primarchs

By Miguel Iglesias

[frythebrains]

More thoughts:

-the biggest suprise of the night is that Mortarion has hair (since he's been strictly forbidden from wearing a hood)

-the Emperor having to TSA check His sons before they're allowed entry to make sure they actually attempt to find a consort. So far he's had to confiscate several books, Mortarion's hood, the entire Mournival (because Horus will not marry anyone who they don't like), Leman's wolves, Konrad's favourite skin cloak, several weapons, and a swimming pool's worth of mjod. The Mournival has gotten drunk and are now sitting around waiting for Horus to come pick them up like kindergarteners at chuck e cheese

- Leman doing absolutely ham on the buffet, and eventually meeting his consort when they both try to take the last slice of cake at the same time (it got vicious)

- Robute making a flowchart to help him tell if someone is actually interested in him and not his position. This, too, is confiscated by the Emperor.

- Rogal Dorn making his beloved a fortified hoop skirt, complete with tactical ruffles.

- Mortarion wearing flowers because the Mortarion Primping Squad couldn't figure out another way to decorate him (they were working with very limited materials!).

-Vulkan bringing an entire bouquet of metal flowers to hand out to everyone he dances with because he wants to make their evening special.

-Sanguinius roosting on one of the chandeliers after getting overwhelmed and the Custodes having to get him down. They did not expect to find Konrad Curze hiding in the same chandelier.

- The primarchs trauma-bonding over this entire experience

- Fulgrim trying to help out his less charming brothers (he may or may not have been singing along to 'popular' from wicked)

- the Terran nobility is in shambles because the primarchs mostly chose the 'dregs' as their consorts. They cannot believe that a bunch of socially-stunted weirdos managed to win over the sons of the Emperor Himself (while ignoring the fact that said sons of the Emperor are also socially-stunted weirdos)

-Big E going absolutely FERAL with wedding planning, because he knows how much humans love a royal wedding

- Lion wearing the latest in Caliban fashion, which means some very tight tights. He's embarrassed that he let Luthor talk him into this and spends the entire night tugging on his tunic, lest someone see his backside.

Primarch political marriage AU where the Emperor attempts to make the primarchs care more about humanity by forcing them to get married. Thankfully, they're allowed to pick their own consort and because Big E can't do anything without being extremely extra (and because it's an excellent way to generate a hell of a lot of good press), there's going to be an elaborate series of parties to display the best that the imperium can offer in the way of potential mates.

Feat.

- the entire Death Guard becoming the Mortarion Primping Squad (led by Typhon) in the hope that getting laid might cheer Mortarion up

-Fulgrim fully understanding the assignment and DOMINATING the entire first night. He really doesn't want to have to pick another wife, though.

-Dorn becoming absolutely fascinated with shapewear- he hadn't ever thought that clothing could be engineered like that before.

-Ferrus Manus trying to hide against the wall, since he has no idea how to talk to women

-Konrad Curze is strangely popular, and gets more popular after he starts predicting the deaths of anyone who dares approach him- the girlies love some fortune telling

-Bobby G calling his mom to ask for advice on how to woo women

-Magnus becoming dejected that women don't flock around him like Fulgrim and Sanguinius. He hasn't put it together that it's because he keeps being a giant nerd about magic and no one has any idea what he's talking about.

-Perturabo is determined to be married before Dorn, so he's brought in Caliphonie to help him pick what to wear. He proceeds to ignore her advice about how to actually win over women.

-Lion getting dancing lessons from Luthor

-the imperial press being flooded with augmented pictures and bios of the primarchs, all to make them seem like romantic heroes. The imperial press in general is just out of control the entire time...

-Malcador really wishing he told the Emperor that this is His worst idea yet

-the Alpha legion getting in a lot of cross-dressing practice.

-Leman Russ refusing to marry any woman who cannot wrestle him to the floor. He doesn't care that they're all baseline humans, any woman worthy of bearing his children should be strong!

-the Mournival taking bets on who's going to get married second (because obviously Horus is going to be the first)

-Sanguinius getting overwhelmed by the amount of attention he is receiving and cocoons himself in his wings at some point in the night. He refuses to come out, even for snacks.

-Lorgar doing well until he tries the whole 'God is telling me that you're my wife' line.

-Horus using the worst pickup lines imaginable and getting away with it.

-Vulkan being delighted by the chance to do something that's not war related for once. He has an absolute blast dancing, although he might be a little too enthusiastic.

- Corvus trying to escape and having to be dragged back into the party by the custodes (under the Emperor's explicit command)

-Jaghati showing up with a whole-ass herd of horses to prove his fitness as a mate

-Magnus is the sluttiest-dressed in the entire room, scandilizing Lion and Lorgar. He even pierced his nipples for the occasion.

Yesterday I was thinking about Clonegrim and how he could get his freedom back, then I suddenly realised his best chance is to be "reacquired" by Blood Ravens, who probably raid Trazyn just for the shits and giggles at least once a week.

Also featuring Revos before he was seconded to Deathwatch, as he was responsible for inventorisation for Blood Ravens. Which was a job worse than Deathwatch for sure... And yes he's happier facing Tyrannids than dealing with his own kleptomaniac kin...

[thethronezone]

I want Fulgrim to have a best friend that he has tea/wine with while sharing the Imperium's hottest gossip. They are THAT duo, the one that stands at the edge of the party, whispering to each other and occasionally breaking out in chuckles/giggles, making everyone wonder just what is so funny. But no one dares approach them and ask because there's this aura of superiority around them both that makes other people feel nervous.

Fulgrim's friend hides the lower half of their face behind a folding fan when they tell him about the latest drama and Fulgrim carefully shields his mouth from view as he whispers a response.

Headcanons for the Primarchs and tattoos

I’ve wanted to do this for a bit! Some are stereotypical. Some are my guesswork if it’s characters I don’t know as much on. :’)

Lion El’Jonson: oh fuck every time this guy comes up I’m clueless. Like I just know he’s secretive. I’m sorry to the big Lion fans. I either want to be funny and say he has a lion/clock/rose thing or somewhat serious and say a star map of some sort. Or something with a hidden meaning. Someone else can probably give him something better than I can lol.

Fulgrim: His wing pauldron thing is on him in some way, folded over his shoulder. Also has a snake somewhere on him, arm or a leg. Maybe both! He also gets the same tat as my OC so laurel wreath on his collarbones. Fulgrim also has a matching tattoo with Ferrus. It’s something smaller, like a little heart or smiley face on an ankle or wrist. His are all perfectly done with a ton of love put into them.

Perturabo: I don’t know him as well, but he probably has something for Calliphone. A flower or something more ‘delicate’ hidden on his chest so no one else sees it. Has those cool cybernetic sleeve things. I’d want to say the ruler tattoo on his thumb as well, but Dorn has that same one so they can argue over who was first.

Jaghatai Khan: Totally has a super decked out sleeve with all his legion symbols and meaningful things to him. Also probably has American traditional and/or wabori (or anything more bold like that) just for the fun of it.

Leman Russ: Huge wolf back piece I’m so sorry. But it’s really well done. I like making fun of him. Also has those Nordic runes on him. Maybe a moon as well but a certain someone else will get that too.

Rogal Dorn: I think he’d be really into it. I’m not sure if tattoos hurt primarchs, but this could be like his pain glove but more artistic. Someone talked him into it at some point and it stuck. I see him having sentimental things for the family that raised him as well as his legion. Also has some blueprints or functional thing. Has the same ruler tattoo as Perty which causes fights. I think it would be awesome if he’s just covered in them near the end.

Konrad Curze: oh no. I could make fun of him so much but he’s free (for now). I don’t think it’d be a huge focus for him, he has much bigger issues, but he’d have his legions symbol (skull with bat wings) on his chest, just like his armor. Probably has a few more things in the macabre style to cover up anything he’s impulsively done to himself cause idk what happens in those visions. Also they look cool as fuck so it’s cool for the sake of cool.

Sanguinius: Laurel wreath carefully by the base of his wings. Detailed tattoos that look almost like pretty jewelry draped over his shoulders. Everything is symmetrical. And since I heard he took the time to meet every one of his sons, he gladly shares a more symbolic thing with them. Also wondering if his blood would spread his gene flaw around lol (probably not but whatever) so every time it’s super sanitized.

Ferrus Manus: Dude has some cool hands that can change shape so I’ve decided that he can also make them have engravings. So he gets some cool engravings on his forearms/hands that are basically metal tattoos. As for the rest of him, there’s some callbacks to his favorite projects. Probably has a dagger or hammer or something on his back. Matching little heart or smiley with Fulgrim of course.

Angron: Are his red markings on his face tattooed on? I think they are painted but it would be cool if they were tattooed. As well as other marks like them on the rest of him. If he has a more artistic thing, it’s that stereotypical skull and smoke and knives sleeve that every character that serves gets lol. Maybe it would be a distraction from the nails.

Roboute Guilliman: He also has the laurel wreaths since I never ever see him without them. They get to be a tramp stamp since that’s fun. He’s too busy for a lot of this. Has the Latin/high gothic ribbons on him, also probably his collarbones and symmetrical. If any of his sons are bald enough, maybe they get the laurels on the sides of their heads (totally stealing that for a character later) as another badge of honor.

Mortarion: still don’t know him as well so perhaps I’ll just be stereotypical again and give him a bunch of skulls and stuff. Since he’s a smartie too, he has those things tied in as well. Like what plants kill people in a bundle. Maybe those snapdragons that look like emo skulls.

Magnus the Red: nerd ha ha. Okay for realsies, he has cool sorcerer spell stuff on him. And then some in the style of ancient Egyptian art (think hieroglyphics) that you’d see on monuments and tombs. He’s like a monument himself tbh. They look almost like jewelry at points.

Horus Lupercal: This is the astrology dude that has the moon phase tramp stamp or stereotypical spine moon one. His Mournival all some some variation of this too lol. Aside from that, like Lion, has star maps on his skin. Maybe they are subtle. They track his journey through the Great Crusade. Imagine tracing the paths between them (maybe I’ll have to write my first fic later uhhh whoops Ive given myself an idea!)

Lorgar Aurelian: dude is already decked out. There’s no space. He went bald for more space. If he does have space, he gets the gold laurels somewhere too.

Vulkan: bones. Either the dragon skull on his shoulder or something else, but it’s like a whole dig site. Also has flames going up his forearms and they seem to magically glow.

Corvus Corax: emo raven ha ha. But for real, everything with him is some poetic reference. He has a raven, but what is it holding or where is it looking? Towards East where the sun rises for fresh starts? What do the symbols on his arms mean?

Alpharius/Omegon: the tattoos seem to never stay the same. There’s always some slight difference, almost like it’s more than one person…. A line is slightly more jagged on the serpent monster up the arm.

Okay that took me an hour and I’m left with a bunch of ideas now.

A Daughter's Rage

The rage she felt was potent. How dare he cast her aside like common trash? She was his eldest, his first, the one that had stood by his side when all else fell. Yet...he dared to disown her, to cast her from his name and strike it out. For what? Because she dared to speak up? That she dared to voice that she thought such perfection was unattainable, that there was imperfection within perfection. It was just what was natural.

But he had flown into such a rage then. Such rage, and she had said some unfortunate things back but she stood by them. If he were to disown her, to treat her as if she were dead, then she shall use the name Opal. For Opal was her mother, who gave her life in order for Zelda to live. A fitting name for her.

She does not think as she moves down the twisting passage ways. She does not think until she comes before a painting of her father.

"Why!? Why did you cast me aside!? When did I stop being enough for you? Your standards were always high, but attainable for the most part. Ambition. It's what allowed us to revolt on chemos. Yet...why am I suddenly nothing to you? Haven't I always been your loving daughter? Haven't I always given sound advice before? You never reacted like that before, so why now?"

The portrait does not answer and she wants to shred it to pieces as she bawls her hands into fists. Yet...she glances towards it again and the anger leaves her to be to be replaced by confusion. The Fulgrim in the portrait looks like...he's sobbing? Yes he's sobbing. Whereas before he'd looked proud as he did in all his portrait. But this...he suddenly looked like a man racked with agony.

What..? What could've- The figure moved and she stared in shock as the Fulgrim within the portrait mouthed the words "I'm sorry" before it forcibly returned to the position she found it in. She was certain it was her father, it had felt like him in the way it hadn't for a long time. Which meant...wait if his soul was here...

Then what was the thing that just disowned her..?

If these guys lived in the palace, who's room would always have people in it?

[moociaoafterdark]

Moira to the rest of my OCs: Alright, I get it, fine, you all are without fathers, right- Caius: I'm not! I *guitar riff censor* love my dad! *Flashback to Fulgrim and Caius fishing, carting and playing board games to upbeat music* Caius: My dad is *guitar riff censor* awesome!

[toffee32]

I'm low energy and I'm trying to spend it into proper illustrations so I don't want to post as much but have some girly stuff meanwhile

I feel greedy bc I was already working on a yume oc to ship with another primarch but now I came up with ANOTHER ONE to share with TWO oh dear

this is more about Aixa and Ferrus anyway but I like the dynamic of a cute love triangle ☺️ I love casting Fulgrim as a playboy too soooo 🫦

Finishing Ferrus' primarch book recently I was inspired by Akurduana being like an avatar for Fulgrim so this is a similar concept

[varliona]

idk portraits

[shadefish]

so a year or two ago I decided to do my own set of designs for the Primarchs. I never finished it but, here are the unfinished designs I did do!

[the-raven-lady]

Primarchs' Canon Voices

I don't think enough of us have heard the canon voices of the Primarchs so I made a supercut of all of them from the Horus Heresy: Legions game trailers and 40k cinematics.

(might have messed up a couple but I have them solid for the most part)

[meangreennunseen]

Fulgrim: "Things I cherish? Oh, my dear, there are so many! My planet, my people, my brothers, my sons, the beauty we create! My almighty Father! The sun and sky and stars! A beautiful song! A marvelous building of astonishing architecture, a statue of beautiful marble, a marvel of creativity!..."

Ferrus: "Things I cherish?"

Ferrus: *looks around absolutely barren ass room and points at Argus sleeping and Forgebreaker in the corner*

Ferrus: "That"
