Dinovember 2023 - Velociraptor of Malice

And the final Chaos-o-saur for this month is the raptor of Malice (or Malal, whichever you prefer).

A being of contradictions, representing how dinosaurs were like, how they are in the present, what they become in the future, and what people percieve dinosaurs should be.

It has no "range" for that is too limiting, after all, walking absentmindedly into a new continent is so much less of a hassel than swimming oceans!

It can only be harmed by other chaos-influenced dinosaur if said dinosaur goes against the base nature of its patron god. For example, a Tyrannosaurus of Khorne can never catch it by trying to hunt it down... but it CAN be beaten by using a bit of smarts and simply get a rock thrown at it.

Malal/Malice: We could team up or aleast let me be your PA! How do you like your tea ?

Look GW Malice the chaos god is right there, give him a crumb of anything.

The Primarchs and their brothers:

Part 4. Perturabo

1. The Lion

“The application is sound, but the methodology is flawed.”

2. REDACTED

“Few of my brothers accepted me initially. I can in fact count them on one hand. He was among them. He will always have my respect.”

3. Fulgrim

“Mud… mud everywhere.”

5. Jaghatai Khan

“He believes that artillery is an apex predator. That is well and good, but his men themselves win those campaigns. I think the truth is that all of his legionaries are barely restrained sharks. Set them loose, and the Galaxy will bleed…”

6. Leman Russ

“He is a strange combination of loving father and abusive mother to his lads. They love him, they hate him, ultimately they revere him.”

7. Rogal Dorn

“He tortures himself with the notion that we are rivals. I entertain myself with the notion that he is a madman. “

8. Konrad Curze

“He digs holes, and digs them very well. Oh, you wanted more, did you? Very well. Something, something, logistics.”

9. Sanguinius

“The way he speaks about mathematics is intoxicating. The man weaves a poem out of raw numbers.”

10. Ferrus Manus:

“We are both at times taken hostage by the worst elements are our temperament and betimes allow this to cloud our judgement. I am willing to accept this as a fact of life and to work to atone for it. Such knowledge, however, can drive him into fits of depression. Or to further pique. I am unsure which is worse.”

11. REDACTED

“As is known, we correspond regularly. I would describe him affectionately as the best terrible person I know. He makes me laugh and infuriates me in equal measure.”

12. Angron

“I have the excuse in as much that my anger is often exacerbated by what my captors did to me. Perturabo… Perturabo is simply a bastard.”

13. Guilliman

“If he were in charge of a rebuilding effort on Terra, the oceans would be restored within a decade, the air would be clean, ancient cities would bloom anew.., and Constantine Valdor would lose at least one reason to complain.”

14. Mortarion

“One of the few beings I know who would spend a decade planning a public garden, another decade planting it, and then destroy it in a single night if a flower was pushed out of place by an errant pedestrian simply to spite them.”

15. Magnus

“He is well read. A qualified scholar. At times given to overt generosity, at other times patronizing. We are well matched.”

16. Horus

“Careful, brother. You are asking about a man who believes even a compliment given him behind his back is a grave insult.”

17. Lorgar

“He is an atheist. Should you forget this, have no fear: he will remind you each and every time you converse with him. “

18. Vulkan

“The best way to manage Perturabo at his worst is to politely remind him of a mistake he has made in your presence. He will then avoid making that mistake forever simply to prove you wrong. “

19. Corvus Corax

“Ahh yes. Precisely what the Imperium needs. Another loud mouth overly emotional Neo-Hellenistic Warlord.”

20. Alpharius Omegon

“He isn’t often wrong, you know. It is. ..unfortunate that he such a shit. As such, many of us delight in collecting those instances when he is and passing them around like treasured heirlooms at every family gathering.”

Realized I never discussed how big the Anarche’s are compared to the other Greater Daemons. Welp, here ya go! Of the Greater Daemons, they are the smallest, even when standing straight up. Only the Lords of Change are similarish in size; they are soundly tinier than everyone else, especially the Keeper and Unclean Ones. Even Verminlords are bigger.

But, don’t let their size and relatively drab appearance fool you. They are quick, durable, and deadly.

Lesser Daemon of Malice

Scholars and occultists whisper rumours, found from plumbing the depths of dusty forgotten lore, that there are other chaos gods, perhaps even one that rivals the influence of the traditional chaotic pantheon. A renegade god of bleached bone and chitin, wiry hairs and slick leech-like flesh, stretched parchment like skin, or leathery scales. A chaos god embodying chaos in it’s most self destructive state, hunting, seeking the works of the other four, to destroy them in stoic fits of mute violence.

Lesser Daemon of Malal

[geckoodles]

A great battle erupted between the two deities. Each delivered wounding blows, but once all was said and done the Great Horned Rat fled into the aether to nurse his wounds, both to person and pride, and Malal stood tall, reveling in this victory, however temporary.

Coming in with another one for @heliinx , this time with Malal versus the GHR himself!

There is a name whispered quietly and with fear by even the most depraved, the most evil, the least sane of the worshippers of chaos. That name is Malal, the Renegade God of Chaos.

Malal was a Chaos God that was introduced early in Warhammer’s Canon but was cut due to trademark reasons. He exists in 40k as “Malice” and not in Fantasy at all (afaik). What we know is that he was a Chaos God that expressly hunted down and killed the followers of the other chaos gods, even going so far as to assist the forces of order to do it.

Malal has the ability to permanently kill daemons and wound gods. This is why the Chaos Gods fear him, this is why they exiled him from the Warp.

The Primarchs and their Brothers, Part 1:

The Lion

II(REDACTED)

“My brother is vastly misunderstood. In many cases, he really -is- the better man. But, unfortunately, lacks the tact to restrain himself from saying it.”

III. Fulgrim

“My brother is not burdened by false modesty, or perhaps any modesty at all.”

IV. Perturabo

“In contrary to what is sometimes said, I like the Lion, on occasion. I think that his tactics are well considered, and his reasoning sound. That does not mean they are always correct, or the reasoning based upon a complete understanding of the situation at hand.”

V. Jaghatai Khan

“He rides well. He speaks well. I do not know I always agree with his actions. But he has never sought my approval, nor I his. This is the way of brothers, and with that understanding, there is little that can be said against his motives, at least, despite his methods.”

VI. Leman Russ

“We are, they say very much alike. Perhaps this is true. I am not, after all, overly fond of myself most days….”

VII. Rogal Dorn

“A competent strategist and operational planner. If I have a significant criticism, it is that he sometimes lacks patience.”

VIII. Konrad Curze

“An utter madman.”

IX. Sanguinius

“The man knows his craft. He knows it well. A competent soldier of much bitter experience.”

X. Ferrus Manus

“Admittedly a great innovator. Horus may be the better politician, but I’d wager he is the more innovative, and arguably, the better soldier.”

XI. REDACTED

“We have a complicated relationship. That does not mean I do not believe in his purpose, even if his methods do not suit my preferences. I know that he is reliable. I know that he can be trusted. I know that he has treated my Legionaries with respect. That is enough.”

XII. ANGRON

“No man can destroy that many worlds and retain his honor.”

XIII. Roboute Guilliman

“A theorist’s theorist. His approach to operational warfare is remarkable. A toast to him, my hard fighting brother. May he know peace one day. For he has earned it!”

XIV. Mortarion

“In full disclosure, though we are often at odds, I credit him for teaching me lessons about warfare I had thought myself above the need to know.”

XV. Magnus

“Little appreciation for culture, though he is well read. A tendency to burn museums, though he is well educated.”

XVI. Horus

“He is an exceptional leader, and by the throne he’ll make sure you know that, one way or another.”

XVII. Lorgar

“A monastic aesthetic but a lack of spiritual direction. I am unsure how best to describe my feelings. I would say that he shows every evidence of greatness. And every evidence of internal conflict.”

XVIII. Vulcan

“He is a very hard man. Not a bad man, but a very hard one. I wish he were a more compassionate one… he has proven himself capable of this, but I am unsure whether he believes has the luxury. That he thinks of it as a luxury is where we differ. “

XIX. Corvus Corax

“Nobility. Feh.”

XX. Alpharius Omegon

“Many people think of Leman as the Emperor’s Executioner. Rarely do they consider the one among us who was born with the executioner’s sword in his hand…”
