Anybody got a collection of all the femprimarch models in STL form?
Also has anybody by chance pulled up to an actual 40k tabletop game with lewd printed and painted pin up minis?
How did the people react?

allegory, but my lgs demands that stay at home alongside the *really* gory stuff. They don't mind the typical femarch or curvy commisar, but if its anything less than a bikini, they prefer it stay home because we do have a busy store with a large group of younger teens coming in. We do have an "After Hours" painting competition that runs once a quarter for showcasing these kinds of models though. Only hard rule is "no nazis".

I really like the idea of the Night Lords trying to gain favor from Constance being getting friendly with her children pre-Heresy. Only to slowly realize her favouritism is purely based on merit. While post-Heresy it becomes mundane conversation topic.
While also being overprotective of her consort as he makes her happy and helps her keep it together. So they have big incentive to protect him.

She knows she’s not perfect, no matter how much she tries to be so. She’s not the best strategist, the strongest fighter, nor is she even the most beautiful of all her sisters, and she feels like she should be when she’s been allowed to have the Aquila as her Legion’s heraldry. It’s that insecurity that ends up making her susceptible to Chaos in the end.

The guy with the red helmet is Aeonid Thiel. Prior to Calth, he was marked for censure by his superiors for theorizing combat strategies against other Astartes, which ended up being instrumental when Calth finally rolled around. Due to his heroic efforts, Girlyman made it a standard procedure that Sergeants would have their helmets painted red from now on, in honor of Thiel’s efforts, and he would eventually go on to become Captain of Second Company after the Heresy.

I mean he probably is made of sterner stuff as some artists quit 40k.
But then again the only example I can think of was the one behind the "femboy skitarii" art. To be fair the artist was said to be a bit of a nutcase.

Yeah that would probably would work on anyone.
I think the hate was mostly because it was fetish art being constantly seen in spots where it isn't wanted to be seen. I like smut art when I want to see it in places like /aco/.
And I think the supporters on finding out it was hated posted more and made memes of it even more and it got annoying.
But I don't believe doxxing is right no matter what.

Unironically either Horus or Magnus, though the latter you have to deal with her reading your mind at all times (which, granted, she's probably seen worse).

Hopefully the artist covers the current era 40k guilliman but female.
Maybe with messy hair as she would be stress out.

How deeply your death would effect them and their effectiveness as a leader is a relevant element. Lower entires do not love you less, but are either less affected outwardly by your loss, or have already calculated it as a possiblity. Higher entires would have much more extreme responses to you dying.
>>
>>
>>

>>9197233
Its one of those things where I had to debate that as you are going to be involved in a LOT of social functions with her, though that could also be carried over to the likes of Roberta.
She would absolutely love you with all her heart, spoil you....and post heresy you are in for some shit as she will either kill you if you are lucky (in that you are a tie to her old life that doesn't fit into the new one as an act of small mercy), go insanely yandere and try to break you into her new view at worst (You loved her before, why not now? Obviously you just need to be educated in the new torture den/love room with demons).
>>9197472
She's almost a reverse Petra in that sense.
Instead of losing her if you screw up, its more her being almost unflinchingly devoted once you get her.
Like, she would be unable to fathom you betraying her if you got in her good graces.
Though she may also be the sort to keep you on Caliban for safe keeping which could....cause problems

>>9201043
You’d either get killed at the and get your soul trapped in piece of artwork, potentially made from your remains and bodily fluids, or you’d be tortured for all of eternity by her. Either way, she wouldn’t let you go. She’s already lost so many of her husbands to old age, and she won’t let it happen again. Your best bets would be to die before the corruption happens, hope for Clonegrima to save you, or get the sword away from her, which would surely result in your own corruption.

If she ever had the time necessary to fully relax like that or if thw Heresy had never happened she'd do something along those lines, or something seperated from too much of her oqn physical involvment that she could still take pride in the results of.

>>9202263
I mean, fair.
At most she'd have something like a bonsai tree on her desk in the modern era or during the Heresy.
Frankly, she'd be the sort of girl who would 'relax' by sitting down and just doing theoretical agricultural setups for fun.
>>
>>9202264
Yeah, she'd spend time just drawing up plans for year round plantations or something, just charts and graphs that won't ever actually come to fruition.
Architecture that won't be built, schedules that will never actually be staffed.
All so she can just dream of a perfect universe, where humans were actually easy to manage, and things got done to their projected quality in their projected time.

I would lile to think she'd keep them in a seires of personal binders for safe keeping, though I am very aware of the likely ironic likely hood of that surving among what all else may have marred her day in the horrors of the 40th millenium.
Thank you anon, this is very cute.
>>
>>9202309
It would depend, it may be closer to someone doodling in class or when they are bored, a spur of the moment thing where she just decides to make an agricultural setup for various environments and crops.
I imagine she may keep a few to just refine them at later dates or something similar, basically a sketch book but instead of portraits its all rural infrastructure.
>>
>>
>>9202316
I'd like to see just a collection of her different designs and the notes relating to them. Not even necessarily organized in any particular way than simply how they found their way in the binder.
It be interesting in the way looking at a diagram in cad is but with just more to it.
Also it would be very funny to me for her to find out her binder went missing only to later find it later being put to print across the imperium or even directly improving the existing infrastructure on Agriworlds.

>The first new literature of her Ladyship the Regent Primarch since her return to the imperium and hopefully not the last. Many have taken to this as scripture alike the Codex Astartes before only to find the admittedly blunt and unaccomodating wording hard if not impossible to understand and the provided pictures no less than equally so. These are however the opinions of the masses, and I for one quite enjoy the simple literallity of her works, incredibly to the point and nothing but the point. And incredible means of delivering information, though no less does her true self shine through with a careful perusing of the pages. Where as the Codex Astartes belied around it's sense of urgency, this is an exponentially calmer work, likely only earnestly written in personal secret which is quite the shame, it is truly a masterpiece by now strech of the term and sequel and or series would be a truly wonderful thing. I hope her ladyship finds more time for herself to spend thusly. Perhaps it is a sign of the state of her imperium slowly improving from the state it had been left to her in. In the least, one may hope.

See, thats one of those things where she would take it with a begrudging acceptance on the fact that her drawings would be out there as some half and half mix of art piece and technical diagram.
It would likely end up being something where a ton of nobles try to pick it up as the latest 'trendy' item while the actual, technical aspects require a decently advanced understanding of agricultural work.

Could be an excellent extrapolation as to why she's out and about in real space, she's trying to distract herself through whatever means she can under the guise of pleasing Slaanesh and sticking it to Roberta/the Imperium.
Meanwhile Slaanesh is just being patient as that reckoning Fulgrima will need to face will likely be WELL worth the power invested in created such a demon primarch

>>9203547
Most imperial nobles would want prints purely on the merit of it being a product of the Primarch more than any actually meaningful understanding.
I would like to imagine though that them being put to print would improve her relationships with the Custodes and Eyes of the Empress, because they would more likely be able to interpret the underlying emotions in the art work, are relate to what they mean to the artist herself as people not as the exalted works of a living demigod.

Unerotically the Custodes would likely find it worthwhile not just for artistic merits, like you said, but the actual theory behind the crops and designs, along with theoretical plants they could be used on.
It would likely be the first treaties in quite some time to lack the usual dogma they find in modern tomes.

I think the hive mind is still pretty "We must take this one" about it but for all intents and purposes, yes.
Making Gene-Stealers more than live bait was something I always liked about this as an alternate setting. Even if it is very explicitly incredibly horny the primary mission of a given hive fleet being what's essentially a fetch quest for a new boy toy is much more satisfying an end than just 'Your religion was a lie, EVERYTHING dies'.
That does make me wonder though what's the situation with Norn Kings?
I've always been partial to them as a background role, but are they more graduated cultists or in house sperm sacks that sometimes walk? Maybe a mix of both depending on the fleets needs?
How much command do they actually have over the hive, are they more like a public wifi router, where they keep everyone connected but are as vulnerable as they are accessible, or are they more like actual military commanders directing their fleets harshly delivering demands?

I mean, its the easiest honeypot in the world
Masquerades as a dating service with cute girls or offers to help girls find a certain someone while hewing to a pseudo-religious bend with their Four Armed Empress.
Granted, they leave out the part where the girls are 'helped' by getting a bit of a genestealer boosted upgrade and some slight psychic manipulations on the guys.
Of course they keep wanting to 'help' others find their destined one so they worm their way into the various strata of society per usual until the day of Matchmaking/Ascension arrives, then they get to go in the ship with their hubby and supply the Hive Mind with fresh 'material'.
Also had the funny thought of the Hive Mind basically 'recycling' a Nid Wife after she got hit by a lascanon or something
>"Hey hubby! Sorry to be back so early, I had a tank fall on me but I'm all better now!"
As for Norn Kings...Probably some weird overprotective bend where they can direct the fleet a bit but don't take the field as the Hive Mind would NOT want them getting hurt more out of maternal factors than actual strategic ones

Its pretty funny, I'm imagining a patriarch almost like a tech billionaire trying to peddle an app 'To your love in the arms of the Empress' but its very literally just a cult and however much psychological manipulation it takes to make 'Cindy from down the Spire's razor sharp tail and 4 foot tongue good enough for at least a one night stand.
Recycling is pretty core to the Tyranid gameplan, the spawning pools pull double duty in successful missions for breaking whatever remains planetside before getting air lifted out and saved to respawn the next time.
I'd imagine its maybe a little more active in 63k where someone can have a happy life with their nidwife and a lot more actual space faring vehicles as opposed to whatever a bio-ship is and does to get bodies planetside.
But that is also quite funny to imagine getting normalized to especially on something like an actively contested voidship.
>"Wife went out on a mission again today, had to pull her out of the pool again, she took a little longer this time so she's getting better at least!"
There's gotta be at least one Norn King that basically Napoleon right? Or very loudly demands the opportunity to be at the very least.
Also, if nidwives are a thing and nidhusbands/bugfuckers by extension, how does marriage work exactly? Is there someway to go about claiming/being claimed by a bug? How do you make the really big rape roaches acknowledge holy matrimony? Is monogamy even an option? In either direction?
Also, are like Norn Princes a thing? Is there some promotional process to become a Norn King? An Electoral process? How does one run for Norn King? How does one vote?
I'm mostly being silly, but these are quite fun to think about.

1d6 scrubbed loads of original stuff for silly excuses.
It wasn’t even out of compliance with web host rules it was just to do it and be morally righteous about it.
Not as bad as the scp wiki but similar dna.
Uhhhh I think Female curze would be the most loving female primarch when she isn’t having a schizo moment.
Especially when the consort is a genuine source of comfort.
Might be the same for female angron too.

Furia would be the objective best if it wasn't for the nails, but she can occasionally have her moments with them.
Kurze would be the most loving even if very often in the creepy obsessive girlfriend way that has nightmares about you dying frequently, but you might bring her real peace of mind if you're a blank.

Furia would be top tier without the nails and in moments where they aren't 'as' active she'd probably be able to just enjoy the simple act of cuddling.
Kurze would probably be the slow devolution of a girl from gloomy but loving to obsessive and delusional as her visions take their toll and the heresy progresses.
The blank Consort would be this weird mix of revulsion at the usual anti-soul properties and relief at the lack of visions.

Pele/Vulkana gives you a digital multi-melta ring weapon for your first bonding properly. You end up needing to use it to fend of Night Hunters sent after you by Kurze when she makes the choice to use you in an attempt to break her sister.

Her flat chest represents dignity, poise, and duty, unlike the overbearing chests of her sisters which merely represent an overindulgence of resources, questionable morality, and a base appeal with no substance.

>"I don't know how he managed to get into the damned vents but it confused the hells out of Geri and Freki, not to mention Russ herself."
>"Hah! We had to shut off the system and send servo-skulls down the shafts one by one just to make sure he hadn't gotten stuck or croaked somewhere."
>"Even Russ herself was getting a little worried when he wasn't picking up his comms but you know where we found him?"
>"Damned fool had managed to get himself stuck in the down in the Hould and the serfs had figured him a shirker, set him right up for a flogging by the time we found him!"
>"Ah, you should've seen the Wolf Queen, embraced him so hard you could hear him creaking, damn sure she forgot entirely what had set the whole thing off."

>>9213934
I was more imaging that she's very simply a greedy bitch and that all her Nu Metal would be just another of she knows how many things she's hiding from her girls.
But this did still make me smile.
For what its worth though Furia is genuinely better off for never having listened to Break Stuff.
