"Sin Eaters"

Finally finished this epic piece for my homebrewed space marine chapter of warrior-women, the Sin Eaters! I was shooting for that classic Codex vibe, while sticking in a few of those old Rogue Trader-esque elements that I always love. Maybe I'll mock up some kind of faux-codex cover with some graphics later down the road.

They Were Always There

by Stefan Ristic

(original idea by Mick19988)

The guys at my local GW telling me about the time a lot of orders didn't arrive because someone literally highjacked the truck with the minis. And all I coud say was:

“That could have been me” with dreamy eyes. And they all laughed at me and said they were warning HQ about me.

But like... Imagine an entire 18wheeler full of minis 😭😩

Okay the thing about space marines is like. they are huge mammals, practically bear sized, active primates. On top of the normal caloric needs for a large animal to be active and fast for so long, their bodies are constantly bioactive- they produce corrosive salive, they're conatantly healing from horrible wounds- those proteins are expensive and that mass has to come from somewhere. And don't fucking "oh genetic engineering they're so perfect" me, you can only be SO bioeffecient, these are still modified humans, presumably you're not recreating their biomolecular structure.

They have to eat a TON right? They probably have the caloric and vitamin demands of a pregnant tiger, and there's hundreds of them on these ships. Are there spaceship cows tgey're slaughtering? Do they just guzzle gallons of reconstituted protein paste?

And I think this caloric need, if emphasized, only helps accentuate the fact that a Space Marine is only as good as his supplies, as the labor done by the citizen-slaves of the Imperium- whether their work is tithed to loyalists or raided by traitors. And the inequality is the point, the irony that these superhuman gods NEED the work of hundreds of human laborers to survive- that's so important! That's the evil of the imperium, the hypocracy of power!

Space Marines should be ravenous little fuckers. Show them eating more.

Also including an AU where Lilith pursued the priesthood. The brilliant brainchild of tech priests employing cats to keep rats away from the cables belongs to @darka-art & @holylustration respectively.

I thought that the most difficult part of creating this little story would be re-posing and re-adjusting all the junk that Marazhai carries around on him in each new scene. However, it turns out that the hardest thing was setting aside all of the finished artworks so I could share multiple of them at once later. Sooo… my willpower cracked a little bit and I decided to give you a sneak peek at what's coming!

Sister Of Silence

The thing I love the most about Perturabo is that he doesn't really hold grudges, despite his temper, his grumpy demeanour and all that, he is waaay to forgiving.

He didnt keep a grudge for his foster brother Andos when Andos beat him in the art competition(despite in his rage destroying the artwork, and his relationship with his brother). And not only that, he openly admitted to other people that Andos was better than him, at art, and as a human and was surprised and disappointed that Andos wasn't named Tyrant after their father's death.

Perturabo forgave Fulgrim for lying to him and almost killing him and stealing his soul. He forgave him enough to fight beside him at Terra. He wasnt happy about it, but he didnt make a fuss.

He has been forgiving Abaddon time and time again and has helped the war effort of the long war

Perturabos reputation as unforgiving and cold is undeserved. Just let the guy mope for 15 minutes and he will bounce back.

I do wonder if he even truly hates Dorn or if he just wants to challenge himself enough to beat him and is too uncharismatic to express himself.
