" I see the sun in the paling sky..."

Injured Jebe on Subutai Baatar's arms.

We have no information about Jebe's death and historians have been arguing about it for a long time. I've painted one of a lot of versions.

Targutai Yesugei,the Chief Stormseer

Because he acted sophisticated in white scars novels, I often saw him as a cunning hare.

I went on vacation to the steppe and found inspiration. Here is a moment from Jaghatai's youth

[the-sisters-library]

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness that is Ilya Ravallion. The general and logistician assigned to make the White Scars run with Administratum efficiency. That could’ve ended in utter disaster, but instead she earned their respect by being willing to adapt to them as much as she asked them to adapt. The Scars became her grandkids, and especially Yesugei.

She goes on to even greater deeds during the Siege, but at this point *she* is trying to get the *White Scars* to move faster toward Terra.

The fuck did Tumblr eat my White Scars-post?!

I got an ask about White Scars and I wrote like a thousand words (well, maybe 500, but no less - it was a godsdamned essay!) about Scars, the Mongolian khanate, Shogunate Japan's isolationism, the aesthetics of Karakorum and how I'm not totally comfortable with the Scars as the only legion with language problems. I described how and why I like them and added a little something about Jaghatai being more human, because Chris Wraight gave him so much personality and that I really like the Stormseer Targutai Yetsugei (Chibi of him on top of the post). I closed the whole thing with being a little weirded out by the whole "Thousand Sons could never do anything wrong"-shtick the Scars have going.

It was a damn good post!

I put it in my queue.

Tumblr says I have one post in queue.

When I go to queue there's nothing there.

Empty.

It should have been posted some time ago.

Nothing.

I'm very angry!

Tumblr, Y U SO SHITTY???

Fuck that shit.

Time Traveller: Moves a Chair

The Timeline:

It is the 41st Millennium. And humanity has been betrayed

For more than a hundred centuries the Once Emperor's treachery has crippled the Imperium of Man. He is the Master of Chaos, one among the five who would see the mortal galaxy burn in the name of his triumph. Master of the Eye of Terra and commanding the might of unending daemonic legions, he is the reaper to whom all damned souls owe their fealty. Fuelled by the slaughter of a thousand followers each day to stave off the wound inflicted by Blessed Mortarion.

Yet even in his unfinished state, the Once Emperor plagues the Imperium with his eternal hunger for power. Mighty battlefleets are forced to wage war against daemon-vessels sent forth the the name of his Eternal Crusade, their way guided only through the unending sacrifice of Targutai Yesugei and his kin. Vast armies battle across unaccounted worlds, fighting to stem the tide of the lost and damned spilling forth from Damned Terra. Greatest among these are the Templars Astartes, the Thunder Legionaries, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Army and countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant Wardens and the tech-shamans of the Cult Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in an age without hope, without reason, and where sacrifice is not simply required but demanded. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war.

There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

TL:DR - I got bored out of my mind waiting for people. After trying and failing to think how Frankenstein might have played out with a few differences, and then trying to do a version of 2000 Leagues Under the Sea which wasn't just aping Alan Moore's work, this popped into my head.

Between the candles were the two pieces of Qin Xa’s dragon-helm, his blood still stained across the inside curve. When that helm had been brought before the primarch, he had said nothing. He had sat on the command throne of the Swordstorm’s bridge, the pieces in his lap, his dark eyes focused on the metal, as if by boring into them he could somehow reverse the fate of its owner. -Jaghatai Khan receives Qin Xa's helm

+I would have sheltered you, if I could,+ the voice said, and something within it gave away an almost unbearable agony, and it made her want to cry out loud. +You above all, for you were our soul.+ Panic gripped her. ‘Where are you?’ she cried. +Do not grieve. We were made to do this, szu. We were made to die.+ -Targutai Yesugei to Ilya Ravallion

+In the beginning, I was Shinaz,+ Yesugei said, managing to convey some kind of broken humour amid the pain. +Remember that? You named me.+ ‘Do not do it,’ the Khan murmured +Know that I would have followed you to the end, my lord. I would have stood beside you on Terra. When I am gone, do not let them forget. Do not let them become what is hateful.+ ‘Come back...’ +You are their protector.+ -Yesugei to Jaghatai Khan

‘Not for Targutai!’ roared the Khan, suddenly bursting into fury. ‘Not for Xa! My warriors have died for me, this day, and every day since my whoreson brother ignited this treachery. I have watched them die, year by year, their strength taken from them. No further! I will slay him, if I do nothing else.’ -Jaghatai Khan, on Mortarion

'If you know what I did,' Mortarion cried out, fighting on now through that cold fog of indecision, 'then you know the truth of it, brother - I can no longer die.' 'Oh, I know that,' he murmured, with the most perfect contempt he had ever mustered. 'But I can.' 'And that makes the difference,' Jaghatai spat. -Jaghatai Khan to Mortarion

Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.

Hey there Jaggy(hope you don’t mind the nickname, not the greatest speller) I hear your legion has psychers/is pro-psychers, what kind of spells can they do? Turn the men into literal lightning to go faster? I heard about the wind stuff, but I think I’d be a waste to do just that if you wouldn’t capitalize on one of the fastest natural elements, lighting.

“I am and forever will be pro-psyker. I must carry this burden. Magnus was a noble soul, but his lack of caution was foolish and it led to his death. My father meanwhile was overbearing, and could not understand that his followers might have different ideas than him.

Stormseers, the Zadyin Arga, are the Librarians of the White Scars. They are the inheritors of an ancient tribal cultural legacy which connects both them and the Brotherhoods to the history of our homeworld. They are indispensable to the Scars and I would say are among the wisest of psykers in the galaxy.

My dearest friend and lieutenant, Targutai Yesugei, was a Stormseer of indomitable will. Demons quaked at his power and unshakable faith.”

It's the Imperial Palace-Halloween-Party and Alpharius/Omegon have just arrived!

Nobody knows what their costumes are referencing (the ancient terran texts they are based on are very obscure), but that's exactly how they like it: Being their own meme suits them very well.

Fulgrim is pissed, because he wanted to do a cool couple's costume with Ferrus, but being the piece of slag the Lord of the tenth is, he went with a boring "Error 404 costume not found"-shirt. So Fulgrim latched onto Perturabo, who, of course, dressed up as daVinci. So now there's daVinci and the phoenician-Mona Lisa.

Russ read an ancient terran text, too, but mixed it up. He is dressed up as "Riding Hood the Killer of the forest" accompanied by his Lumberjack- and Granny-wolf. Both wolves ate their costumes within minutes. Bjorn flatly refused to dress up as sidekick "kid" and therefore had to stay outside.

Since Lorgar already looks like the Emperor, he dressed up as their father and now is patronizing everybody just like the original. He forced Kor Phaeron to wear a Malcador-costume, too. No one would have thought it, but they are actually hilarious and very amusing in their roles. Amusing enough that the real Malcador can only with difficulty stop the real Emperor from angrily throwing papier-mâché pumpkins at his seventeenth son.

Vulkan loves his Godzilla-costume, because this pre-unification terran god (it had to be a god, since there were so many little statues!) is so damn cute! And kind of a dragon!

Then he spots Mortarion as Mothra and tackles him in a hug, since they both chose that ancient myth, oh glory day!

Magnus decided on a stage magician-costume, but every time he asks one of his brothers to "think of a number, I'll tell you which one you thought of!" or "pick a card and put it back into the pile!", they just go "Bro, you're a Psyker, that's nothing special!".

Curze is sulking beneath the buffet-table, because all the comments he gets on his very authentic "toatally normal imperial writing clerk"-costume are "Serial killer! They look just like everybody else, don't they!".

There he's joined by Stormseer Targutai, who brought a big plate of everything down under the table with him. Jaghatai wanted to dress up as one of the most famous race horses in terran history, Nijinsky, and so he needed two more legs. Since Targutai is way too good-natured to refuse, he humoured his Khan - at least for about ten minutes. Then he wandered off, spotting the buffet table. Now the back-half of a horse is happily munching on fingerfood, sharing it with a sweater-vest-clad Night Haunter.

About an hour into the party, the two are getting more company, as Corvus appears under the table as well. He shares Curze's fate, since everybody is mistaking his thoughtfully build (yet horribly sewn) Rosa Luxemburg-costume for Mary Poppins. How can it be nobody is recognizing one of the most courageous revolutionaries terra ever produced? It can't be because Raven Guard suck at anything artsy-crafty. No.

The only one of the brothers wo bothered himself with reading about classic terran Halloween-customs is, of course, Guilliman. But unfortunately for him, the texts are very old and very fragmented, so all he could take away was "scary things, but make it slutty". His zombie-make-up and fishnet-stockings are still getting him quite a few admiring (it has to be meant admiring!) comments, though.

It's a little bit frustrating for Dorn, that he really did his best with a "very dangerous inwittian predatory cat-like monster"-costume, but all of his brothers just want to cuddle the incredibly adorable furry-thing that's sweating like hell next to any open window he can find.

Sanguinius has plastered himself with about a hundred goggly eyes of all sizes, because he wanted to look like an angel. Surprisingly it isn't working. But Magnus is squinting at him, muttering "You look like someone I know, but I can't remember for the life of me ...."

Horus employed three of the mournival for a clever group-costume (he thinks it's clever). They are impersonating one of the most famous para-military strike-teams of ancient Terra. Now the Warmaster is sporting a big grin and a cigar, while Abaddon is visibly seething, because he wanted to be "the pretty one", but instead has to wear about a ton of gold chains, while Aximand is constantly telling him, having to wear a blonde wig is not that funny, either. Loken and Tarik played rock-paper-scissors for the remaining spot, Gavriel lost (on purpose) and now Torgaddon is very happy with a baseball hat and the license to behave crazy (within limits).

Angron is running around naked, bodypainted very green, yelling at everybody "I'M SHREK, GOD OF ORK!!!! WAAAAHHHG!!". The palace serving staff is now hiding from him. He counts this as a win. He makes no effort to explain why he is naked.

The Lion is pondering joining team "under the table", since Vulkan has spotted his very authentic Saint George-costume and continues to pounce at him, happily exclaiming "I'm a dragon, fight me!".

Now I have written an incredibly long text, although I only had the idea of drawing Alpharius and Omegon as Spy vs Spy. But that was fun! The Imperial Halloween Party is sure to be a great success.

Also, it seems Horus' costume isn't that obvious. Well ... 😊
