Some warm up sketches of a couple Rogue Trader dudes I can’t stop thinking about

“Could you still want me?” Heinrix stares back, caught, as the lamp above becomes a sudden headlight. Achilleas and Heinrix escape from a dinner party to find some room to breathe.

some quiet & venerating Achilleas/Heinrix with a healthy helping of smut.

[cawyden-gaming]

I noticed that people get this line at the start of act 4 and think Heinrix is calling RT a liar. This is not the case.

Spoilers for act 3 obviously.

His "Lies" is the response when RT tells on the bridge everyone that Achilleas was a traitor. It is only available if you did not have Yrliet at the start of act 3.

He is actually bitter about the lies Achilleas told him, that he as an experienced agent and Interrogator and Achilleas "boss" did not recognize that Achilleas was betraying them, lying to his face.

In Commorragh you can (just for testing purpose, I would never pick that in my real run) call him out while talking to Achilleas/Wrack:

With Yrliet in the retinue he thinks she is lying for most of the time when she tries to tell him the truth about Achilleas.

Only if you have both Yrliet and Marazhai you get after the third arena fight the conversation where he realizes that this is the truth and he is clearly shocked.

You do not get his "Lies" response on the bridge if you have Yrliet because then you can only tell everyone that Yrliet was to blame for the abduction. No word about Achilleas. But then you get the trial with Yrliet, where Heinrix acknowledges that Achilleas got his punishment.

With Achilleas as Wrack you also get a bit conversation:

So, if you do not have Yrliet but Achilleas as the one bringing you to the trap it is easy to miss (you need to have been to the anatomical opera to get Heinrix and then talk to the Wrack/Achilleas).

Heinrix is angry not just with Achilleas and Yrliet/Marazhai of course (in the other version) but with himself that he failed to see the betrayal.

Edit:

I forgot to add, I find it interesting that Heinrix, who is so very much controlled and a bastion of strong-will let's himself go there with openly showing his bitterness when he says "Lies". Commorragh really affected him. When people say he comes out of Commorragh fine, this is not true. He even says he might never get his nerve endings healed but aside from the body injuries I would argue that he is clearly not fine mentally as well.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS For Rogue Trader CRPG Act 3

"Regret is wasted on the damned. I... chose my fate because I turned out to be weak"

I just like Achilleas a lot, okay?

I suspected him since Alpha but NOT LIKE THAT

And I'm so very sad

And I want to execute him, we have a very good reason to, but NOT LIKE THAT

Let me bring him back to Imperium, at least, sentence him there with some dignity, like a human being. Why are you making me put him down in the Commorragh slums like a rabid dog :(

cries and runs in circles

(In case you've played the beta as normal people do - with all the companions - know that if you don't have you-know-whom in your party by the time Act3 rolls out, then your act 3 will look a little different and you will get more Achilleas content, which made me furious with him and extremely sad at the same time)

[mountainashfae]

I have made it to Dargonus and I am picking up Achilleas and taking him with me. He's young enough to be Confessor's grandson. Mine now.

[neonhellscape]

how do we feel about wrack achilleas finding heinrix having escaped and trying to protect him before being forced to give him back, which is where heinrix's refusal of being tricked again stems from

[shadrastarsign]

and heres MY doodles of a side character only the utterly deranged care about

Much Ado About The Lord Captain - Chapter 30

Much Ado About The Lord Captain - A Comedy of Terrors CHAPTER 30 SUMMARY: Heinrix finally interrogates Achilleas, we return to Dargonus where Heinrix acquires an important item and writes a report with far-reaching consequences.

Sitting down next to him on the bed, Heinrix placed a hand on the mechanical chest of his former friend. “I wish you had possessed the strength to do yourself what I have to do now, Achilleas…” Augmetic fingers closed around Heinrix’s wrist, metal on skin, a faint, cold touch, and the knot in Heinrix’s chest swelled together with an encroaching sense of dread. He was unable to bring himself to brush over the scarred cheek of his former lover, a face he had cradled so often and whispered sweet nothings into his ear as he had embraced him. Letting his powers swell, he reached out and passed through the acolyte’s body, tracing his outline in the warp one last time, committing it to memory. Then he found his heart and held it still. “I forgive you, Heinrix,” Achilleas whispered, a gentle smile on his lips. “Death is a mercy, and I shall greet him as an old friend and wrap my arms around him.
